Abstract

In the framework of PROMETHEUS, Renault, Thomson and PSA have launched with the support of the French government, the study and development of a communication system allowing data transmission between a cluster of vehicles. In this paper the the traffic circumstances are described where such transmission might improve driving safety. A description is given of the main features of the system, which can accommodate up to one hundred vehicles without any need of central management or synchronization.
