Abstract
The combination of onboard sensors on vehicles with wireless communication has great advantages over the conventional driving systems in terms of safety and reliability. This technique is often called cooperative perception. Cooperative perception is expected to compensate for blind spots in dynamic maps, which are caused by obstacles. Few blind spots in dynamic maps can improve the safety and reliability of driving thanks to the additional information beyond the sensing of the onboard sensors. In this paper, we analyzed the required sensor data rate to be exchanged for the cooperative perception in order to enable a new level of safe and reliable automated driving in overtaking scenario. The required sensor data rate was calculated by the combination of recognition and vehicle movement to adopt realistic assumptions. In the end of the paper, we compared the required sensor data rate with the outage data rate realized by the conventional V2V communication and millimeter-wave communication. The results showed the indispensability of millimeter-wave communications in automated driving systems.
