V2V Communication
Vehicles communicate to coordinate driving. Enables platooning, intersection management, emergent swarm behavior.
Protocol
class V2VProtocol:
def broadcast_state(self):
"""Broadcast position, velocity, intent every 100ms"""
message = {
'id': self.vehicle_id,
'position': self.gps.get_position(),
'velocity': self.speed,
'heading': self.direction,
'intent': 'turning_left' # Planned action
}
self.dsrc.broadcast(message, range=300) # 300m range
def receive_neighbors(self):
"""Receive broadcasts from nearby vehicles"""
neighbors = self.dsrc.receive_all()
return [v for v in neighbors if v.distance < 300]
