Highway Capacity Benefits from Using Vehicle-toVehicle Communications and Sensors for Collision Avoidance
Summary Information
Several automobile manufacturers are offering assisted driving systems that use sensors to automatically brake automobiles to avoid collisions. Before extensively deploying these systems, it should be determined how they will affect highway capacity. This paper discusses a comparison of highway capacity when using sensors alone and when using sensors and vehicle-to-vehicle communication.
