WAVE (Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments) uses dedicated short-range communications (DSRC) technology to enable high-speed vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication. It has applications in intelligent transportation systems for vehicle safety and Internet access. A WAVE system consists of roadside units (RSUs) that broadcast information to onboard units (OBUs) in passing vehicles. OBUs listen for safety information on a default control channel and can join local wireless networks called WAVE basic service sets to receive additional information on other channels.
