Abstract
With the severe traffic situation in recent years as the background, there are intensive studies on the inter‐vehicle communication system, aiming at the safety improvement of the road traffic system and the smooth control of the traffic flow. the spread‐spectrum communication is very useful in the realization of such a system since the data for the distance between vehicles are obtained, which is very important in driving the vehicle, as well as the communication.
This paper considers the intervehicle communication network using the spread‐spectrum system and proposes the medium access control (MAC) protocol for the autonomous distributed access control. to evaluate the performance of the proposed system, a computer simulation is executed for the environment where the vehicles run freely on a highway. It is shown that stable information exchange can be realized with vehicles running in nearby positions.
