Publication details: Bryssel ITS in daily life: 16th world congress and exhibition on intelligent transport systems and services, Stockholm 21-25 September 2009. Paper, 2009Description: 12 sSubject(s): Bibl.nr: VTI P1835:16 [World]Location: Abstract: Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) and Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) are two technologies that can be used for vehicular communication. WAVE realizes Car-to-X (C2X) communication with WLAN based ad-hoc networks of vehicles and roadside infrastructure. UMTS is a state-of-the art technology for mobile communication and offers a cellular infrastructure based solution. This paper presents a comparative study of these two technologies and reveals that they are complementary to each other in supporting vehicular applications. We also propose a hybrid solution combining both WAVE and UMTS technologies to optimize the performance of the vehicular communication system, to increase the market penetration rate and to reduce the deployment costs.| Current library | Status | |
