Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of the V2P cooperative safety application, enabling technologies and field test results. The chapter also covers the motivation for DSRC based V2P safety application research. We continue with comparison of the DSRC and Vision V2P collision detection systems. The chapter describes implemented system architecture and basic concepts of operation. A new message Pedestrian Safety Message (PSM), similar to BSM, was invented to signal pedestrian presence to surrounding vehicles. We used both PSMs and BSMs in our implementation of the V2P system. Our work was forerunner for the development of SAE J2945/9 standard “Vulnerable Road User Safety Message Minimum Performance Requirements”. It is crucial for the V2P system to have a usable vehicle warning strategy consisting of informative and alerting modalities. We present a multi stage warning system for alerting the driver of impeding collision with the pedestrian. This is followed by a description of our test setup. Finally, we present the results of communication and application performance.
