The silver-coated DSRC of antennas are used for short-range communication between vehicles (V2V) in intelligent transportation systems (ITS), including DSRC (Dedicated Short-Range Communication). It has silver as a conducting material for the antennas and offers several benefits including higher data rates, increased range, and improved reliability for V2V communication. Using multiple antennas in a silver-coated DSRC provides spatial diversity, reducing the effects of multipath fading and interference. The radiation pattern can also be focused in a specific direction to increase the signal strength. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous drivers into ITS is becoming increasingly important, and V2V communication is a crucial aspect of these systems. The use of a silver-coated DSRC can provide a reliable and efficient solution for DSRC communication in V2V communication, which is essential for the success of ITS. The increased data rates, range, and reliability facilitate the exchange of information between autonomous vehicles, enabling them to make more informed decisions and operate more safely on roads.
