N2  - This paper presents an evaluation of the effectiveness of a cooperative Intelligent Transport System (C-ITS) to reduce rear-end crashes. Two complementary simulation techniques are used to demonstrate the benefits of the C-ITS. Traffic (VEINS) and sensor (SiVIC) simulations use realistic data related to traffic and roads in Brisbane's Pacific Motorway; driver's reaction time; and injury severity to evaluate benefits. The results of our simulations show that C-ITS could reduce rear-end crash risk by providing several seconds of additional warning to drivers. <br><br>KEYWORDS: Rear-end crashes, Cooperative ITS, Traffic simulation.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
