Driving a vehicle is one of the most dangerous activities that people do almost every day. Many innovations in vehicle construction in recent decades have therefore served to increase the safety of road users. Future active safety systems, through the use of vehicle-to-vehicle communication, will be able to extend the driver's range of perception and thus achieve a new level of operator and vehicle safety. Although there is a natural need for information about the surrounding traffic in a vehicle, today there is no system which, based on vehicle-vehicle communication in a permanent process, enables an exchange of temporally and locally relevant status data between these road users. The algorithm shown in this article makes it possible, with efficient use of the given radio resource, to close the gap between the global view of centrally recorded and prepared traffic condition data and the locally limited personal perception of the driver.
