Vehicle to vehicle communication and platooning for EV with wireless sensor network

Driving assistant systems with cameras and sensors are expected as a solution of safe driving, congestion prevention and driving load reduction and vehicle to vehicle (V2V) communication systems that utilize wireless technology has been proposed as an auxiliary system of the existing systems. On the other hand, as long with the increasing of the aging rate of society, traffic accident of seniors become a serious problem to be solved. Smarty automatic driving system has been developed to realize a smarty platooning control system based on the automatic driving system for senior drivers. In this research, an embedded communication system is developed for small automatic electric vehicle, and an algorithm to avoid transmit collision is implemented in the developed system. Based on the vehicle to vehicle communication, a platooning control system including vehicle interruptions and separations is successfully designed. Some experiment results of several platooning patterns for small EV represent the effectiveness of the developed system.
