Inter-vehicle communication is an essential part of any intelligent transportation system (ITS). It allows vehicles to share surrounding road traffic information to support safe driving and road traffic management. Current systems use spread spectrum (SS) techniques: direct sequence (DS) or frequency hopping (FH). This paper proposes an implementation of a hybrid system in which DSSS and FHSS techniques are combined to provide performance and scalability improvements over a system that uses either of the SS techniques. Also this paper presents a theoretical analysis showing the improvement in the overall system capacity of the proposed system and the results of the computer simulations conducted. The results show that given an equal bandwidth, the hybrid system out performed the DS or FH systems. It showed superior bit error rate (BER) performance and scalability.
