Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments
Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) refers to communication technologies that enable vehicles to connect with each other and with infrastructure, such as traffic lights and road signs. This connectivity enhances road safety, traffic management, and overall driving experience by allowing real-time data exchange.
WAVE systems typically use Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) or Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) technologies. These systems facilitate applications like collision avoidance, traffic signal timing adjustments, and navigation assistance, ultimately contributing to smarter and safer transportation networks.
