Abstract :Vehicle-to-Vehicle insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(V2V); communication channel measurements were carried out in different environments such as urban, suburban, rural, highway, tunnel, and overpass. The roads in these environments have generally flat terrain. However, there are horizontal or vertical curve roads that have been little focused in the literature. In this study, we performed two V2V measurements on a vertical-curve road in a rural environment to show how received signal strength changes with the distance between the transmitter and the receiver. The path loss exponent of log-distance path loss model was calculated by using the least-square method. According to the results, the path loss exponents were estimated as 7.53 and 7.61 with 78% and 83% fitting performances for two measurements. In literature, however, the path loss exponent for different propagation environments was obtained up to 6.13, especially in the straight road. Thus, our findings show that the vertical curve roads cause 15-20 dB more attenuation in the received signal strength than the straight roads. As a result, the vertical curve roads should be investigated and included in existing wireless communication simulators to better model real measurements. The authors contend that this study will aid in improving the channel modeling of V2V communication.
