Abstract

Vehicular communications is system which can be applied for transmission of various safety messages or Intelligent Transportation Systems(ITS) applications by combining vehicle/road technology with Information and Communication Technology(ICT). In recent years, a variety of ITS services are available such as driving information, road conditions, V2X messages as well as navigation and traffic jams notification. In general, vehicular communications can be used for vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication by adopting IEEE802.11p/1609 standard which is commonly known as wireless access in vehicular environments. In this paper, WAVE communication standard based on the IEEE802.11p is explained and signal characteristics in WAVE communication is introduced. Also, The H/W and S/W characteristics in Road Side Station and On Board Equipment for the Vehicle to Everything communication are analyzed. Received Signal Strength which is power of receiving signal of communication equipment is measured in test road to estimate the real WAVE communication's performance. It is shown that the implemented WAVE communication technology is satisfactory to provide ITS services.

차량통신시스템은 차량/도로기술과 정보통신기술을 접목하여 다양한 안전 메세지를 전송하거나 지능형 교통시스템에 적용이 가능한 시스템이다. 최근 차량용 센서와 통신 기술의 발달로 길안내와 교통체중 알림 서비스뿐만 아니라 주변 차량의 주행 정보, 도로 상태정보, 차량 간 긴급 메시지 전달 등과 같은 다양한 ITS 서비스가 가능해졌다. 일반적으로 차량통신은 WAVE라고 알려져 있는 IEEE 802.11p/1609표준을 채택하여 차량간 통신 및 차량-노변기지국간 통신에 이용된다. 본 논문에서는 WAVE 통신 표준에 대하여 설명하고 신호 특성을 소개하였다. 또한 V2X 통신을 위해 실제 구현된 노변 기지국(RSS), 차량통신장치(OBE)의 소프트웨어 및 하드웨어의 특성을 분석하였다. 실제 WAVE 통신의 성능 평가를 위해 시험도로에서 시험차량의 통신장치의 수신 신호 세기 지수(RSS)를 측정하였다. 측정된 WAVE 통신 성능은 ITS 서비스에 충분히 가능함을 실제 시험을 통하여 입증하였다.
