Local Interactions for Cooperative ITS
Jean‐Marie Bonnin, Christophe Couturier · 2024
Services based on ephemeral local interactions are not yet frequent if potential partner discovery mechanisms present in many wireless technologies are excluded. Once the discovery is made, direct interactions are used to establish a connection and offer a service. This chapter reviews the properties of services relying on this type of interaction and demonstrated the benefit of relying on them in the field of cooperative ITS. It presents the concept of ephemeral local interactions, giving examples of services based entirely on this type of interaction. The chapter describes how the first services that will be deployed in the context of cooperative ITS (awareness) are based on this type of interaction and the advantages/constraints of this approach. Finally, the chapter explores the place infrastructure holds in the implementation of services, based on ephemeral local interactions.
