V2I Technology and Energy Efficient Solution using Zigbee

Vehicle communication provide useful information from networks to vehicle such as road traffic, car accident and road construction to avoid delays and accidents. It also provide useful information from vehicle to information networks for usage in road traffic calculation and accident warning, and help in better traffic management for Intelligent Transportation System. In this paper, we overview the communication as it is probably the next generation communication for vehicles to communicate. We propose the prototypes of the road side equipment (RSE) and the on-board equipment (OBE) for communication between vehicles and road side stations based on and Zigbee wireless technologies. The experiments and results of the prototype under various vehicle operation tests are shown. The results have shown the possibility of using Zigbee as the communication protocol and device for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to infrastructure (V2I) communications.
