ABSTRACT

The overall function of ITS is to improve decision-making, often in real time, improving the operation of the entire transport system. This can go from systems with intelligent route planning implemented to avoid some specific type of traffic in certain areas [1], to keeping track of the position of the vehicle for infrastructure assessment [2], to systems designed to aid with the prevention of collisions between the vehicles [3,4]. For this study, the research focuses on evaluating the use of smartphones as an intermediate step to accelerate the implementation of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), which could be used to prevent collisions.
