Korea has initiated a road infrastructure project for enhancing road traffic safety along its major road network by introducing dedicated short-range communication (DSRC). DSRC is based on IEEE 802.11p, and supports vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication.
Roadside units (RSUs) will be installed along major roads supporting road traffic safety and efficiency applications.
V2X has been discussed several times throughout past columns regarding, for example, the reduction of the available spectrum in the United States at 5.9 GHz but also because of new V2X technologies, which has made the automotive market hesitant to select technology.
Vehicle manufacturers need stable legal environments because of the long product development cycles (three to five years) and long expected lifetimes of vehicles (∼12 years on average).
