Inter-vehicle communication system
First Claim
1. An inter-vehicle communication system configured to perform communication between a plurality of vehicles using dedicated short range communication (DSRC), the inter-vehicle communication system comprising:
- a DSRC communication unit configured to transmit vehicle information associated with an identification code of an own-vehicle and receive vehicle information associated with an identification code of another vehicle through the DSRC;
an optical communication unit including an optical transmitting unit and an optical receiving unit each configured to transmit the identification code of the own-vehicle and receive the identification code of the another vehicle, respectively, by performing communication between the own-vehicle and the another vehicle to which an optical signal is projected from the own-vehicle; and
an information detecting unit configured to compare the identification code of the another vehicle received by the optical communication unit with the identification code of the another vehicle associated with the vehicle information of the another vehicle received by the DSRC communication unit, and obtain the vehicle information of the another vehicle received by the DSRC communication unit when the identification code of the another vehicle received by the optical communication unit and the identification code of the another vehicle received by the DSRC communication unit are identical,wherein the optical transmitting unit and the optical receiving unit of the optical communication unit are integrally embedded in at least a head lamp and a rear lamp of the own-vehicle.

Abstract
The present disclosure provides an inter-vehicle communication system configured to detect a vehicle as a communication target of DSRC to properly establish an automatic driving system. In the inter-vehicle communication system configured to perform communication between a plurality of vehicles using DSRC, each of vehicles includes an identification code (ID) of the vehicle in information to be transmitted by a DSRC unit. Each vehicle includes: an individual communication unit (optical communication unit) for optical communication, which is configured to transmit/receive IDs of vehicles through communication between individual vehicles; and a unit configured to detect information having a corresponding ID by collating the ID received by the individual communication unit with the ID included in the information received by the DSRC unit. Through ID collation, a communication counterpart vehicle of DSRC is detected.
