The subject of the project is ICT anti-collision radar, which will reduce diametrically the number of collisions and crashes on roads and motorways. The proposed idea consist in speeding up the perception of a danger and in improvement of brake system operation via use of information-communication technology.

Road vehicles have too short sight in relation to their speed. Luxury vehicles use microwave radars for control their speed and mutual distance. If the extrapolated trajectories of two neighboring vehicles cross each other in the near time, the acoustic and mechanical alerts appear and the automatic brake takes action. This collision mitigation system (CMBS) operates over a distance of up to 120m and is very expensive. Another competitive system - SRCS-V2V - is also short range, very complex and too slow for effective control of dynamic processes during a collision.

In the current project an ICT active radar is proposed, which uses popular sensor networks of the series 802 and operates at the band, which is low sensitive to road infrastructure (5GHz). The vehicle being in danger emits a series of short warning packets, a part of which is received by distant vehicles located in a narrow sector behind. The inner operations are similar to CMBS. However, owing to the active principle of work and simple design, the distance of control is much higher and the price - much lower.

The simulations, carried out, point at diametrical reduction of collisions even at partial filing of the vehicles with ICT radar. A single device placed in the center of a column splits it in two parts and allows this way to avoid a huge collision. When 50% of radars are used, a distance missed to stop for typical scenario decreases from 46m to 8m, which shrinks the energetic factor by 33. At 100% of radar usage, no collision has to occur.

The fundamental role in the project plays the radio communications: it is repeatable, extremely fast and long range (over horizon ~1000m). The probability of reception of an individual packet in an interval of 0.1sec is of order of 0.5, but the overall probability of warning the distant vehicle exceeds four nines (.9999).
