Abstract :
The paper presents a new application enabled by vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication systems; our target is to combine V2V with floating car data (FCD) systems and merge advantages of both: the V2V application warnings to enhance the FCD traffic information precision as well as the information availability; inversely, V2V communication can also benefit from the FCD system and offer some large-scale road network traffic information. We present some architecture modifications which are needed to realize this new application, both in terms of in-vehicle components as well as the networking requirements. The proposed approach is to be built upon the existing infrastructure of FCD system to lower the implementation cost
