Dedicated Short Range Communications Standards

Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) are specialized wireless standards designed for fast, reliable communication between vehicles and infrastructure, like traffic lights or road signs. Operating over a short distance with low latency, DSRC enables real-time data exchange to improve road safety, reduce traffic congestion, and support autonomous driving. It is similar to a private, secure Wi-Fi network for vehicles, ensuring quick responses for critical applications such as collision avoidance or emergency signaling. Overall, DSRC enhances transportation safety and efficiency by providing dedicated channels for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication.
