Abstract
Intelligent transportation and autonomous mobility solutions rely on cooperative awareness developed by exchanging proximity and mobility data among road users. To maintain pervasive awareness on roads, all vehicles and vulnerable road users must be identified, either cooperatively, where road users equipped with wireless capabilities of Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) radios can communicate with one another, or passively, where users without V2X capabilities are detected by means other than V2X communications. This necessitates the establishment of a communications channel among all V2X-enabled road users, regardless of whether their underlying V2X technology is compatible or not. At the same time, for cooperative awareness to realize its full potential, non-V2X-enabled road users must also be communicated with where possible or, leastwise, be identified passively. However, the question is whether current V2X technologies can provide such a welcoming heterogeneous road environment for all parties, including varying V2X-enabled and non-V2X-enabled road users? This paper investigates the roles of a propositional concept named Augmenting V2X Roadside Unit (A-RSU) in enabling heterogeneous vehicular networks to support and benefit from pervasive cooperative awareness. To this end, this paper explores the efficacy of A-RSU in establishing pervasive cooperative awareness and investigates the capabilities of the available communication networks using secondary data. The primary findings suggest that A-RSU is a viable solution for accommodating all types of road users regardless of their V2X capabilities.
