Cooperative and emergency services feasible in future vehicular networks

Cooperative and emergency services are the future vital services of V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) networks. Using sensor data from vehicles forming vehicular networks and their mutual exchange form the basis of related research and development in the fields of automotive, informatics, and telecommunications. Cars, trucks, ambulances, fire trucks, and police vehicles will be gradually extended by a wide range of sensors managed by on-board units with new network communication capabilities. In the context of the following review and ongoing research and development, it is important to emphasize the possibilities of data exchange among vehicles (or across the entire V2X network) to increase overall road safety and road transport efficiency. By authors, as promising applications meeting these requirements have been identified platooning, context-aware safety driving navigation, and emergency vehicle warning application. These services described in more detail in this article, are presented in the context of V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle) and I2V (Infrastructure-to-Vehicle) communication.
