heal.abstract	Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are in the heart of current and future automotive research. Most of the current vehicular safety applications are based on sensors installed on the vehicle, e.g., radars and laserscanners. Due to the evolution of wireless networks, there is a tendency to exploit the cooperation among vehicles to enhance road safety through the related applications. Path prediction of a driver's own vehicle and other vehicles is crucial for road safety. Path prediction can assist the driver in having an enhanced perception of the road environment and of the intention of other neighboring drivers. In this paper, an advanced cooperative path prediction algorithm is presented. This algorithm gathers position, velocity, acceleration, heading, and yaw rate measurements from all connected vehicles to calculate their future paths. In addition, map data with regard to the road geometry and, in particularly, the road curvature are used to enhance the path prediction algorithm. Comparative results of the path prediction, with and without wireless communications, are discussed. In addition, the algorithm is adapted for use in the emergency-electronic-brake-lights application. The results of this adaptation are also presented. This paper is another contribution in highlighting the advantages and, at the same time, the challenges of using communications among road users. © 2006 IEEE.	en
