Abstract: This paper proposes the creation of a platform agnostic Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) communication system that combines a GPS module, XBee-PRO 900HP ® and Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ Single Board Computer (SBC) to create a low-cost V2V solution. The choice of XBee® enables the use of Digi Internationals’ proprietary DigiMesh® protocol, which creates an ad-hoc mesh network. Using the XBee® devices data (longitude, latitude, speed, heading) obtained from the GPS modules can be shared between the vehicles (nodes). For testing purposes, the system was programmed in python with a local SQLite database used to store the obtained data. This approach allows basic V2V communication between devices with different operating systems if a compatible XBee® device is attached to the SBC.
Keywords: Vehicle to Vehicle Communication, XBee®; DigiMesh®; Python.
