Abstract:
Within the next few years, cars will be able to communicate with their surrounding infrastructure, with other cars and even drive autonomously. This allows a new generation of applications to improve security and a better use of space and resources. One of these applications is represented by the Clustered Swarm algorithm. The Clustered Swarm algorithm is a live swarm based algorithm for vehicles which pursues the aim of a global traffic optimisation by performing a massive load balancing of all road participants to improve the individual routes of each user. Hereby it represents a potential solution for the traffic jam problem. This paper introduces the current communication protocol used by the Clustered Swarm algorithm which is designed to ensure the integrity of the data, as well as to reduce the amount of transmitted data to enable the use of current and future vehicle-to-vehicle technologies such as the IEEE 802.11p standard.
