In Japan, the traffic accidents rate is not considered high. However, there is always a plan to further reduce the number by utilizing high technology communication involves among vehicles. The MIC (Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communication) in Japan has just decided to allocate 700MHz frequency span as part of the effort to tackle the traffic accident’s casualty rate in its nation. Currently the 700MHz is occupied for analog TV broadcasting in Japan. However since the trend is moving from analog to digital TV broadcasting, the bandwidth allocation will be freed up in year 2012 to give way for the Inter-vehicle communication system to take place.
By utilizing this new communication technology, all vehicles in the road will have capability to send and receive RF (Radio Frequency) signals in such that proper safety distance among vehicles can be maintained. Not only that, it is believed to be able to broadcast traffic information among vehicles so that the drivers will be able to avoid heading to the congested destination. Just imagine, the future of auto vehicle driving can be realized depending on how intelligent the in-vehicle control system technology is. 
There will be experimental test on the inter-vehicle communication being rolled out in Japan on 2008. This is to ensure that no interference to any RF sensitive device and proper system test can be conducted before the actual implementation. Once after the vehicles are capable to communicate among each other, we should foresee more sophisticated technology being involved to enable vehicle to infrastructure communication.
In collaboration with University of Massachusetts and University of Washington, Microsoft has developed a new Wi-Fi wireless technology that is suitable to be used in vehicles Internet and VOIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) calls. Named as Vi-Fi (Vehicle Wi-Fi), it is an improved version of existing Wi-Fi technology that is claimed to be able to provide stable signal for seamless connectivity on the move. In existing Wi-Fi networks, the coverage for each base station is limited and as you travel across different zone (or coverage area), there will be “Hard handoffs” happened from time to time that cause signal fluctuation depending on the environment condition as well as how fast the vehicle moves. With the new Vi-Fi wireless technology, Microsoft claimed that the network client in the vehicle is now capable to hop to multiple base stations simultaneously for improved network stability. It is based on complicated algorithm that can calculate the received signal strength to identify if it is main base station or auxiliary station so that the hoping issue can be resolved with few ‘back-up’ auxiliary base stations at the same time. 
Microsoft has deployed and tested this new wireless technology and so far seems to be satisfied with it. Hopefully this will be a good alternative solution replacing existing cellular broadband network and change the way on how people surfs net while traveling on the road.
