Abstract: This state-of-the-art survey addresses wireless communication vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle to-infrastructure. With infrastructure is here meant roadside equipment. Today, wireless links\nare used for e.g. collecting tolls, telephony, traffic congestion warnings (TCM), positioning\n(GPS). Wireless communication can also be used within safety, efficiency and infotainment\nareas. The purpose of this report is to make a survey of the available open project related\ninformation and summarize it. The considered projects were located in Europe, USA and\nJapan.\nFinally a total of 79 projects were considered significant. The approach for getting an\noverview of these projects was to combine project descriptions (i.e. project explicit views)\nwith project classification metrics (i.e. project implicit views). It is believed that this approach\nresults in a representative state-of-the-art overview of wireless communication vehicle-to-vehicle\nand vehicle-to-infrastructure projects.\nIn this report links are also given to a number of related organisations (about a hundred).\nApart from the projects as such it is possible to see differences in Europe, USA and Japan\nusing the surveyed projects. There is a strong governmental support in USA and Japan. In\nEurope governmental support is indirect via the European Commission and the picture is\nmore heterogeneous with many different countries involved. As it seems this is reflected in\n\n* The higher number of projects in Europe compared to USA and Japan.\n* More overlapping projects in Europe compared to USA and Japan. Several projects seem to address the same issues.\n\nIn Europe, maybe the projects Coopers, Safespot and CVIS will become the central projects\nsince all three are large projects with many important participants and addressing many\napplication areas.
