Overtaking such vehicles through the use of the opposite
direction traffic lane is thus a challenging task, and all the
information that can support the decision of the driver in
starting this maneuver is very useful. Drivers of such large
and vision-obstructing vehicles are aware of such difficulty
and we often observe their cooperation through hand-waving
or actuation of turn signals to inform the driver behind that
it is safe to overtake. VANETs allow replacing this unreliable
driver-to-driver communication by automated vehicleto-
vehicle communication carried out through wireless technologies
such as the Dedicated Short Range Communication
(DSRC) protocol [2], supporting a co-ADAS for the overtaking
maneuver that leverages the dissemination of windshieldinstalled
cameras in modern vehicles.
