S/C/74. Dissertation. Collaborative Inter-Vehicle Communication System Using Bluetooth Technology

The dissertation examines the use of information systems (IS) in transport networks to improve their safety and efficiency focusing on the inter-vehicle communication (IVC) system. A study of communication among vehicles is conducted using bluetooth technology to form wireless ad hoc networks. The next-generation driver IS is designed to provide drivers with IVC in order to disseminate warnings and recommendations about alternative routes to avoid traffic congestion. The implementation of the IS is described; its work is tested and evaluated. Conclusions are made about the benefits of IVC and its future uses.
