  • Publication number: 20210270615
    Abstract: A method of determining a moving path, which is determined by a mobile ITS (intelligent transport system) station, and an apparatus therefor are proposed. The mobile ITS station transmits a first message including at least one of (a) information on one or more predictive locations and (b) a kinematic predictive value at the one or more predictive locations in consideration of a first predictive moving path of the mobile ITS station, receives anticipated traffic information, which is generated in consideration of the first message, via a second message, and determines whether to change the first predictive moving path with a second predictive moving path based on the anticipated traffic information received via the second message.
