Køretøjtilnetværk

Køretøjtilnetværk, often abbreviated as V2N, refers to a communication infrastructure that enables vehicles to exchange data with a network. This network can encompass various entities, including road infrastructure, other vehicles, pedestrians, and cloud-based services. The primary goal of V2N is to enhance road safety, optimize traffic flow, and improve the overall driving experience through the exchange of real-time information.

V2N systems typically rely on wireless communication technologies such as dedicated short-range communications (DSRC) or cellular networks (like 4G and 5G). The data transmitted can include a wide range of information. Vehicles can broadcast their position, speed, and intended direction to other vehicles and infrastructure. Roadside units can share information about traffic conditions, speed limits, upcoming hazards, and available parking spaces. This communication allows for proactive decision-making by both drivers and automated systems.

Benefits of V2N technology are numerous. It can warn drivers of potential collisions, such as vehicles approaching blind intersections or sudden braking ahead. It can also facilitate adaptive traffic signal control, reducing congestion and travel times. Furthermore, V2N supports the development of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and ultimately autonomous driving by providing a richer contextual understanding of the driving environment. While still evolving, V2N is a key component in the vision for smarter and safer transportation systems.
