RDS-Based Intersystem Communication for Ultra-Low Data Platoon VANETs

Sammanfattning: Many experts agree that Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) are indis- pensable for the future of our transportation system. The applications that could be based on this technology are endless and stretch from automated breaking systems to multimedia streaming. However, current approaches all rely on additional hardware which is not available in modern off-the-shelf vehicles. This document aims to explore the feasibility of using the Radio Data System (RDS) standard, which is supported by all modern car radios, for forming Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks.
