With the evolution of advanced wireless communication technologies, tremendous efforts have been invested in vehicular networking, particularly the construction of a vehicle-to-vehicle communication system that supports high speed and mobility. In vehicle-to-vehicle communication environment, vehicles constantly exchange information using wireless technology. This paper aims to propose a vehicle-to-vehicle communication system and validate the feasibility of the system on a suburban road in China. Two vehicles were used equipped with IEEE 802.11p based DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communications) device to construct a vehicle-to-vehicle communication platform. The system architecture consisting of hardware and software was described in details. Then, communication characteristics such as RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator), latency and PLR (packet loss rate) were analyzed. Additionally, GPS-related information (such as ground speed and location) was obtained through field test on a suburban road in Shanghai and Taicang City. The test results demonstrate satisfactory performance of the proposed system.

Many systems can be represented by networks as a set of nodes joined together by links indicating interaction. Recently studies have suggested that a lot of real networks are scale-free, such as the WWW, social networks, etc. In this paper, discoveries of scale-free characteristics are reported on the network constructed from the real urban transit system data in Beijing. It is shown that the connectivity distribution of the transit network decays as a power-law, and the exponent λ is about equal to 2.24 from the simulation graph. Based on the scale-free network topology structure of the transit network, if only transit "hub nodes" are controlled well, the transit network can resist random failures (such as traffic congestion, traffic accidents, etc.) successfully.
