DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communications)

Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) is a wireless technology designed for high-speed communication between vehicles and infrastructure, like traffic lights and road signs. It operates in a specific radio frequency band, enabling fast, low-latency data exchange, which is crucial for safety and traffic management. DSRC is particularly important for applications such as vehicle-to-vehicle communication, where cars share information about their speed and direction to prevent accidents, and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication, which helps improve traffic flow and reduce congestion. In essence, DSRC enhances road safety and efficiency by enabling real-time communication.
