Communications with and between Vehicles (Greece and Rome Live)

By Bob Williams

A unified reference for vehicle communication systems and standards

Vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications span diverse technologies, standards bodies, and regulatory frameworks rarely addressed in one volume. Communications with and between Vehicles consolidates the technical, historical means to communicate with vehicles and infrastructural dimensions of this field, focusing on Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) and 5G Vehicle Communications and Networks to deliver a structured reference connecting conceptual context with standards-level detail.

Coverage progresses from passive and active vehicle access methods through radio broadcast data delivery to interactive ad-hoc safety and driving assistance communications to and between vehicles. The book examines dynamic interactions between traffic managers and vehicles on road networks, and compares C-ITS with centrally managed internet-of-vehicles architectures over 5G. Summaries of the international standards developed to support each capability accompany the technical discussion throughout.

The book also covers: Current political and commercial considerations shaping the deployment trajectory of connected and automated vehicle communication technologies globally Assessment of outstanding technical challenges and unresolved issues facing vehicle communication system designers and transport policy strategists Driver-assisted systems communication requirements and how they relate to broader cooperative intelligent transport architectures and safety services An accessible narrative pitched between high-level overview and deep technical detail, serving both specialists and adjacent professionals Historical development tracing the evolution from early vehicle identification systems to contemporary C-ITS and 5G-enabled cooperative transport networks

Designed for academics, automotive engineers, ITS researchers, and students of transport and communications systems, this book also serves strategists, policymakers, and automotive OEMs seeking a technically grounded overview of vehicle communication architectures, their supporting standards, and the forces shaping connected transport.
