Abstract
Traffic safety has been one of the most primary social problems puzzling big cities over the world. It is widely believed that connected vehicle technology will tackle this problem. To achieve that, we installed RSE (Road Side Equipment) in urban road environment to communicate with OBE (On Board Equipment) through DSRC (dedicated short-range communication) to organize a DSRC network system. However, as a fundamental communication device, RSE may lose connections, which will have impacts on the quality of collected data and finally this might lead to failures of traffic applications. Therefore, it is necessary to validate the connection status of DSRC network environment. In this paper, based on analyzing non-continuous DSRC network system, a field test method for connected vehicle technology (CVT) application is proposed to verify whether such a network system is in good condition to ensure normal usages of traffic applications or not. Then, a case study in the field is conducted to evaluate the validities of some important parameters (i.e., latency, distance, and speed). We draw a conclusion that the network system was available for CVT application; but was desired to be improved.
