This review addresses the intervehicular communication in Connected Vehicles (CV) by emphasizing V2V (vehicle-to-vehicle) and V2I (vehicle-to-infrastructure) communications in terms of evolution, current standards, state-of-the-art studies, embedded devices, simulation, trends, challenges, and relevant legislation. This review is based on studies conducted from 2009 to 2019, government reports about the sustainable deployment of these technologies and their adoption in the Brazilian automotive market. Moreover, WAVE (Wireless Access in Vehicular Environment) and DSRC (Dedicated Short-range Communication) standards, the performance analysis of communication parameters and intervehicular available at the market are also described. The current status of ITS (Intelligent Transportation System) development in Brazil was reviewed, as well as the research institutes and governmental actions focused on introducing the concept of connected vehicles into the society. The Brazilian outlook for technological adoption concerning CVs was also discussed. Moreover, challenges related to technical aspects, safety and environmental issues, and the standardization for vehicle communication are also described. Finally, this review highlights the challenges and proposals from available technologies devoted to the roads and vehicular infrastructure communication, their evolution and upcoming trends.

This paper presents a computationally-efficient fuel-economic control strategy for a group of connected vehicles in urban roads. We assume the availability of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication. Apart from fuel economy, the proposed higher-level controller also focuses on reducing red light idling, which improves traffic mobility and in turn improves vehicle emissions. The red light idling avoidance problem is formulated as a two-point boundary value problem and sampling-based approach is employed to evaluate a feasible solution in real-time. This leads to control solutions that can ensure avoidance of red light idling despite the number of vehicles in front of it. We have shown that sampling from a Gaussian distribution whose mean depends on the target velocity can improve fuel economy to a good extent. This higher-level control solution provides a good initial solution for any deterministic lower-level controller. Simulation results show the efficacy of the proposed method in terms of fuel economy and computational efficiency.

Congestion extends the time of the journey for both people and goods. Therefore, transport solutions should be optimized. Management scientists and technical scientists worked together in order to develop a proprietary solution to increase efficiency in terms of productivity improvements for intelligent transport systems. The most fundamental functions of management have been paired with a detailed analysis of city traffic. The authors developed a method for determining the order of vehicles at traffic lights and connected it with vehicle-to-vehicle communication and GPS signals. As a result, a novel method to increase the throughput of intersections is presented. This solution generates a sound signal in order to inform the driver that the preceding car has started moving forward. The proposed solution leads to the shortening of the reaction time of the drivers waiting in a queue. This situation is most common at red lights. Consequently, the traffic simulation shows that the discharge of queues at traffic lights may be quicker by up to 13.5%. Notably, that proposed solution does not require any modification of the infrastructure as well as any additional devices for vehicle-to-infrastructure communication at the road intersections. To conclude, proper implementation of the proposed solution will certainly contribute to efficiency improvements within intelligent transport systems, with the potential to reduce traffic jams.

This article presents evaluation results of connected vehicles and their applications. Vehicle-to-vehicle communication (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication (V2I) can enable a new paradigm of vehicle applications. The connected vehicle applications could significantly improve vehicle safety, mobility, energy savings, and productivity by utilizing real-time vehicle and traffic information. In the foreseeable future, connected vehicles need to operate alongside unconnected vehicles. This makes the evaluation of connected vehicles and their applications challenging. The hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testbed can be used as a tool to evaluate the connected vehicle applications in a safe, efficient, and economic fashion. The HIL testbed integrates a traffic simulation network with a powertrain research platform in real time. Any target vehicle in the traffic network can be selected so that the powertrain research platform will be operated as if it is propelling the target vehicle. The HIL testbed can also be connected to a living laboratory where actual on-road vehicles can interact with the powertrain research platform.

Now a day’s vehicle come with lots of features. One of the essential feature which is need to be added is vehicle-to-vehicle communication. Which is mostly usable for night time and to prevent road accidents. Many time a situation comes when an obstacle on road suddenly come in front of vehicles. And before driver could control the vehicle, here the chances off accidents may occur. To overcome this problems vehicle to vehicle communication system installed. It provides automatic communication between nearby vehicles. It does by sensing the obstacles present near the vehicles . By this number of accidents can be reduced during night time on highways, so you can drive safely with heavy vehicles also.

An advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) is the premium technology for autonomous driving. It uses data from vision/camera systems, data from in vehicle sensors, and data from vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) or Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communication systems. The next generation systems even autonomous vehicles are expected to use the V2V information to increase the safety for non-line of sight environments. Exchanging some data like vehicle position, speed, status etc., helps to the driver about potential problems, or to avoid collisions. In this paper, a V2V communication system module is designed and tested on the vehicles.
