DSRC - Technology for Safer Driving !

What is DSRC?

DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communications) is a two-way short- to- medium-range wireless communications capability that permits very high data transmission critical in communications-based active safety applications. In Report and Order FCC-03-324, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) allocated 75 MHz of spectrum in the 5.9 GHz band for use by Intelligent Transportations Systems (ITS) vehicle safety and mobility applications.

Range – Up to 1000 m
Data Rate – 6 to 27 Mbps
Channels – 7 Licensed Channels
802.11p – aka Wireless Access for the Vehicular Environment (WAVE)

The U.S. DOT’s commitment to DSRC for active safety communications contributes to safer driving. Vehicle safety applications that use vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications need secure, wireless interface dependability in extreme weather conditions, and short time delays; all of which are facilitated by DSRC.
Who Can Use DSRC Manufacturer Technologies?
DSRC manufacturer technologies can be used by application developers, device manufacturers, and representatives from telecommunications, automotive and consumer electronics among other industries whose products are used to communicate and send alerts to infrastructure, vehicle, or traveler’s individual communication devices.
DSRC was developed with the following objectives:

·         Collision avoidance
·         Provides high reliability when needed
·         Provide safety message verification and privacy.
·         Prioritize safety applications
·         Warnings on blind spots
·         Do not pass warnings
·         Traffic data collection
·         Parking payment
·         Rail intersection warning
·         Safety inspection
·         Electronic toll collection
·         Unexpected decelerating
·         Synchronization of the adaptive cruise control
·         Rollover warning
·         Collision Warning
·         Incoming vehicle warning
·         Clearing commercial vehicles
·         In-vehicle display of road signs and billboards

How is DSRC being used?

It is anticipated that DSRC will be used for both vehicle-to-vehicle communications as well as vehicle-to-infrastructure communications. The spectrum is seen as particularly useful for V2x communications because it can support very low-latency, secure transmissions; fast network acquisition and in general, the ability to handle rapid and frequent handovers that are inherent in a vehicle environment; as well as being highly robust in adverse weather conditions. ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems) also notes that it is tolerant of multi-path transmission.
Why was DSRC developed and to what benefit?

DSRC was developed with a primary goal of enabling technologies that support safety applications and communication between vehicle-based devices and infrastructure to reduce collisions. DSRC is the only short-range wireless alternative today that provides:
  • Designated licensed bandwidth: For secure, reliable communications to take place. It is primarily allocated for vehicle safety applications by FCC Report and Order FCC 03-324.
  • Fast Network Acquisition: Active safety applications require the immediate establishment of communication and frequent updates.
  • Low Latency: Active safety applications must recognize each other and transmit messages to each other in milliseconds without delay.
  • High Reliability when Required: Active safety applications require a high level of link reliability. DSRC works in high vehicle speed mobility conditions and delivers performance immune to extreme weather conditions (e.g. rain, fog, snow, etc.).
  • Priority for Safety Applications: Safety applications on DSRC are given priority over non-safety applications.
  • Interoperability: DSRC ensures interoperability, which is the key to successful deployment of      active safety applications, using widely accepted standards. It supports both V2V and V2I communications.
  • Security and Privacy: DSRC provides safety message authentication and privacy.

Li-Fi - A Future Connectivity !!

What is Li-Fi? Light Fidelity or  Li-Fi   is a Visible Light Communications (VLC) system running wireless communications travelling at very high speeds. Li-Fi uses common household LED (light emitting diodes) lightbulbs to enable data transfer, boasting speeds of up to 224 gigabits per second . The term Li-Fi was coined by University of Edinburgh Professor Harald Haas during a TED Talk in 2011. Haas envisioned light bulbs that could act as wireless routers. How it works? Li-Fi and Wi-Fi are quite similar as both transmit data electromagnetically. However, Wi-Fi uses radio waves while Li-Fi runs on visible light . As we now know, Li-Fi is a Visible Light Communications (VLC) system. This means that it accommodates a photo-detector to receive light signals and a signal processing element to convert the data into 'stream-able' content. Visible Spectrum An LED lightbulb is a semi-conductor light source meaning that the constant current of elect

What is Machine 2 Machine (M2M)? How its work and Challenges?

Machine-to-machine communication, or M2M, is exactly as it sounds: two machines “communicating,” or exchanging data, without human interfacing or interaction. This includes serial connection, powerline connection (PLC), or wireless communications in the industrial Internet of Things (IoT). Switching over to wireless has made M2M communication much easier and enabled more applications to be connected. As businesses have realized the value of M2M, it has taken on a new name: the Internet of Things (IoT) . IoT and M2M have similar promises: to fundamentally change the way the world operates. Just like IoT, M2M allows virtually any sensor to communicate, which opens up the påossibility of systems monitoring themselves and automatically responding to changes in the environment, with a much reduced need for human involvement. M2M and IoT are almost synonymous—the exception is IoT (the newer term) typically refers to wireless communications, whereas M2M can refer to any two ma

LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging)

What is LIDAR? LiDAR  (Light Detection and Ranging)   is fundamentally a distance technology. An airborne LiDAR system actively sends light energy to the ground. This light emitted is known as a pulse . The LiDAR measures reflected light back to the sensor. This reflected light is known as a return . So pulses of light travel to the ground. They return and are detected by the sensor giving the range (a variable distance) to the Earth. This is how LiDAR earned its name – Light Detection and Ranging .  LIDAR systems allow scientists and mapping professionals to examine both natural and manmade environments with accuracy, precision , and flexibility. NOAA scientists are using LIDAR to produce more accurate shoreline maps, make digital elevation models for use in geographic information systems, to assist in emergency response operations, and in many other applications. Currently we are using two types of LiDAR - Ariborne LiDAR and Ground-Based LiDAR. Airborne
