This is achieved through simulation of realistic traffic and V2V communication by using recent ETSI ITS standards including different GeoNetworking message dissemination mechanisms. The results show, that an increasing traffic on the network channel has a negative effect on the safety of a platooning application, but it can be compensated by using more conservative configuration parameters. This impact is increasing slightly for lower vehicle spacing, stronger for longer platoons and drastically for lower beacon rates.enplatooningcooperative adaptive cruise controlCACCIntelligent Transport SystemITSCooperative Intelligent Transport SystemC-ITSgeonetworkingETSI ITSVehicle-to-VehicleV2Vvehicle to vehicle communicationcorrelation analysisstring stabilitybeacon ratespacingchannel loadchannel busy ratioCBR621master thesis
