【 摘 要 】

The connected vehicles are the future of transportation. Road can be much safer when vehicles are able to communicate about the traffic and road conditions to its surrounding vehicles or if they can “talk” to each other. A smooth communication among vehicles can be helpful in terms of road safety in case of sudden speed breaks, bumps, slow moving traffic, poor visibility conditions such as fog and, importantly, wrong way traffic. Our work suggests potential applications of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication for improving road safety in Pakistan. We have considered one such unsignalized intersection point at main University Road, Karachi and presented an approach to make this road safer for vehicles and pedestrians using V2V technology.
