Vehicle to Everything (V2x) Communications Technology for Smart Mobility in Malaysia: A Comprehensive Review

Abstract

Vehicle to Everything (V2X) communication technology assesses the potential as the new phenomenon for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in the context of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P), and vehicle-to-network (V2N). Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) is the conventional vehicular communication standard for ITS. The cellular network based on 4G/5G for ITS deployment has become a competitor to DSRC. Recent advancements in technologies have motivated the research community to develop a hybrid DSRC, and cellular networks approach to support reliable ITS applications. Nevertheless, as new techniques come forward, the technical and regulatory challenges may also vary across countries. Given that the existing comparative studies have not been covered as a whole, we evaluated the V2X communication technology to classify the adaptability of DSRC, cellular networks, and hybrid methods. The study also includes available V2X technology platforms and products. In addition, the challenges of deployments are also depicted in this study. The outcome indicates that many automotive industries and telecommunication providers recognize V2X substantial effect on ITS. The work is underway to decide which capabilities will be added since this is a long-term benefit for our future transportation.

Application and growth of long-range communications technology in vehicular communications

“…It is one of the four main constituents of V2X, which also includes vehicle to infrastructures (V2I), vehicle to pedestrians (V2P), and vehicle to network (V2N) [4]- [6]. Communication between vehicles is achieved using different communication technologies, including dedicated short-range communication (DSRC), long-range communications (LoRa), and cellular networks (LTE/5G) [7]- [9]. With the push of governmental forces, V2V is moving closer to reality.…”

“…For M2M applications which require high data rate transmissions, the IEEE802.11ab and cellular-based technology are proposed instead of the LPWA network [11]. Similarly, a narrative review on V2X technology platforms and solutions as well as challenges was conducted with the aim to evaluate the adaptability of DSRC, cellular networks and hybrid methods in the V2X communication and its effect on ITS [7]. In addition, a summary of the primary V2V benefits linked to driver safety, with an emphasis on the most recent improvements in these systems is available from [6].…”
