Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE)

Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) is a technology that enables vehicles to communicate with each other and roadside infrastructure using wireless signals. It supports safe and efficient transportation by allowing cars to share information such as traffic conditions, accidents, or road hazards in real time. WAVE operates over specific radio frequencies designed for low-latency and reliable communication, facilitating applications like collision avoidance, traffic management, and future connected vehicle services. Essentially, it creates a local wireless network that enhances safety, traffic flow, and supports the development of intelligent transportation systems.
