Vehicle-2-vehicle communication technology: drivers look ahead
Vehicle-2-vehicle communication technology , called EYES, utilizes a system developed by researchers at the Spanish Universitat Politècnica de València, which allows the driver to have a view of the vehicle in front of them.
As reported in a Gizmag article, the system requires vehicles to have a front camera and a Wi-Fi communication system.
As reported by Gizmag, the system requires vehicles to have a front camera and a Wi-Fi communication system. In this context, each car will be "informed" when a vehicle is behind it, and will send a video image from its front camera, which will be displayed on a smartphone or tablet, letting the driver of the vehicle behind know when it is the right time to overtake.
Even in the case of many cars, forming a "convoy", the technology of this system will be able to distinguish the position of one in relation to the others, transmitting the video from car to car. It is noted that, since the information sharing is done locally, access to a mobile network will not be required for the system to operate.
