Abstract
The focus of this paper is to study the throughput and jitter performances of the IEEE 802.11-2012 standard based solution for monitoring young kart racing drivers. At the low-level of kart racing, the speed of a kart is about 80 km/h. The PropSim channel emulator is applied to study performance of standard compliant radios in a vehicular environment. We will also study the impact of interference and shadowing on the system performance. The results indicate that it is feasible to use low-cost radios based on the IEEE 802.11 standards for this specific application if the need for bandwidth is not in Mbps.
