N2 - The European Union recently proposed to increase Europe's radio spectrum for technology that allows cars to communicate traffic information. By letting cars to communicate to each other, less cars will end up in a traffic jam. It is estimated that traffic jams will cost the economy around 80 billion euro by 2010. Currently, traffic news is collected by a central organ, which processes the data and broadcasts the information to navigation tools (e.g. HD traffic by TomTom), internet websites and news programs. This information flow causes the driver to receive information about a traffic jam with a delay of approximately half an hour. In this paper a solution is presented that is decentralised and which makes faster information dissemination possible. We introduce a vehicle-to-vehicle communication protocol (called SOTRIP) that works by letting cars on opposite lanes exchange information about the traffic situation on the road ahead for the receiving car. First experimental results confirm the better overall throughput, especially with heavy traffic. Copyright 2009 ACM.
