Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) is a wireless communication technology designed for automotive applications. It enables vehicles to communicate with each other and with roadside infrastructure, enhancing safety and traffic management. Operating in the 5.9 GHz band, DSRC supports low-latency communication, making it suitable for real-time applications like collision avoidance and traffic signal timing.
DSRC is part of the broader Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication ecosystem, which includes Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communications. This technology aims to improve road safety, reduce traffic congestion, and facilitate the development of smart transportation systems.
