Traffic Mobility Analysis of ITS V2V Cooperative Awareness Communication Based on Local Traffic Motion Constraints

Transportation safety is an essential key for road user survival. Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) cooperative awareness communication is an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) technology in enabling safe, reliable, and efficient transportation management. However, there are many limitations to the implementation of the V2V communication system in the real world. The requirements for applying the V2V communication system to an urban area will be different when implemented within other areas. Therefore, the objectives of this research are focused on analyzing the implementation of the ITS V2V cooperative awareness communication based on local traffic motion constraints in the non-US and non-EU country. This research is accomplished by utilizing the survey-based and simulation-based method. As a case study, this research considers to utilized local traffic motion constraints based on a geographical map, road characteristics, and urban mobility at Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) neighborhood in Penang, Malaysia. The simulation results show that the deployment of V2V cooperative awareness communication by considering several local motion constraints has several impacts on the quality of urban travel mobility. The efficiency of travel time could be increased by approximately 19.40 %, and the average of vehicles speed is possible improved until 1.10 m/s. The existence of local traffic motion constraints is very fundamental to create a realistic vehicular mobility model for the deployment of ITS V2V cooperative awareness communication in future development.
