IEEE 802.11p

IEEE 802.11p is a wireless communication standard designed for vehicles and roadside infrastructure, enabling them to exchange information in real-time. It facilitates Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication, allowing vehicles to talk to each other and to traffic signals, signs, and other road elements. This technology enhances safety by providing timely alerts about hazards, traffic conditions, and accidents. Operating in a specific frequency band, IEEE 802.11p ensures quick and reliable connections, even at high speeds, promoting smarter transportation systems and contributing to the development of autonomous vehicles and intelligent transportation networks.
