  26. Two Dynamic Antennas • 2 vehicles ~ various speeds, same direction • Distances up to 150 m, no packet loss

  27. Two Dynamic Antennas • Various speeds, same direction, ~150 m range • Cut-in SUV, no packet loss

  28. Two Dynamic Antennas • Sender vehicle and SUV brake to a stop • Lost packets are likely due to SUV obstruction

  29. Two Dynamic Antennas • Receiver passes sender braking from 30 – 0 mph • Packet loss at ~ 90 m

  30. Two Dynamic Antennas • Sender and receiver pass at 50 mph • ~50 msec, 400 bytes, no packet loss

  31. Two Dynamic Antennas • Sender and receiver pass at 30 mph • Packet loss at ~ 90 m

  32. Outline Overview of Hardware and Software • Test Equipment and Interface • Format of Data/Findings Test Track Testing • Test Track Facilities • Static Results • Dynamic Results • Multipath Considerations • Conclusions

  33. Multipath Considerations • Two-Ray Ground Multipath Model • Etotal = ED+ ER(ej) • Emin = ED– ER when  = π D: Direct Line of Sight R: Reflected Line of Sight

  34. Multipath Considerations • Null spot found through slow-rolling test • Loss of packets between ~ 87 m and 94 m West overpass LeSabre - receiver driving on the shoulder towards SUV. Facing East. SUV – sender stopped. Facing west Track entrance

  35. Multipath Considerations • Steady state test at ~ 92 m null spot • Almost complete loss of packets

  36. Test Track Conclusions • Single-sender, single-receiver DSRC under direct LoS conditions is robust for a variety of vehicle-vehicle and vehicle-infrastructure safety applications • Some degree of packet loss, as expected • Multipath transmissions • Vehicle obstructing LoS • Range, update rate, and latency requirements for the Task 3 safety applications should be feasible • Areas for future study include: • Transmission power variation • Multi-sender, multi-receiver scenarios
