Abstract: There is provided a cooperative driving control method based on a vehicle security status. The cooperative driving method according to an embodiment includes: identifying a security status of a cooperative driving target vehicle; determining a cooperative driving strategy according to the identified security status; and controlling driving according to the determined cooperative driving strategy. Accordingly, cooperative driving may be performed or excluded based on a security status of a target vehicle, so that an accident may be prevented from being caused by cooperative driving with a problematic vehicle, and safety of a driver and an occupant may be guaranteed.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for controlling congestion in communications between an RSE and multiple OBEs in a DSRC system. In certain embodiments, a system and method for controlling congestion in communications between an RSE and multiple OBEs includes determining a priority level for each of multiple OBEs with respect to reserving a channel between each OBE and an RSE. Based on this determination, each OBE is assigned a waiting period based on their respective priority levels. The OBEs then send requests to reserve a channel to the RSE after waiting the assigned waiting periods.
