MAC protocol combining inter-vehicle and road-vehicle communication

　This research studies the radio communication between nodes under the ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems) application. Specifically, this research considers a system on how to send traffic information, such as traffic congestion or accident information, to the other vehicles or how to maintain a safe distance between two vehicles.
　This research is intended to realize both the inter-vehicle and road-to-vehicle communication under one protocol. It is possible to build an efficient communication scheme by developing an architecture that utilizes both inter-vehicle and road-to-vehicle advantage to compensate for each other disadvantage.
