Abstract
Cooperative Vehicular Maneuvering (CVM) significantly improves traffic safety and efficiency, but relies on wireless information exchange between cooperating vehicles. As wireless links are unreliable and the communication resources are limited, the performance of CVM degrades depending on the communication quality. We propose a novel model to represent the imperfectness of communication, formalize CVM at an intersection, and evaluate the performance degradation of CVM under varying communication conditions. From our analytical perspective, we can derive the requirements for maneuver coordination. Our results provide a valuable resource for the design of future communication technologies and dissemination strategies.
