Vehicle-to-vehicle communication (V2VC) promises to be a next major step towards safe and efficient road traffic. This contribution presents a V2V communication system on FPGA-basis. It provides a flexible and modular hardware framework for various software-implemented V2V applications and routing algorithms. Exploiting the benefits of reconfigurable hardware the system manages to provide hardware acceleration for security processing and data preprocessing while at the same time being adaptive to traffic situations, different environment and evolving standards and applications. We present the overall structure of the system, detail modules and communication system and present special mechanisms used to exploit FPGA benefits. Finally we give results concerning performance values and resource usage.
