Solution: Cooperative-ITS• Low latency wireless communications:

– Between vehicles (V2V)

– Between vehicles & smart infrastructure (V2I)

• 5.9 GHz DSRC

– Dedicated spectrum

– Low latency for safety

– Low interference potential

• 3G/4G Wireless

– Side-by-side with DSRC

– Non-safety critical applications
