Incorporation of advanced info-communication technologies into vehicular environment currently captures a large attention by numerous investigators, telecommunications operators, traffic safety regulatory institutions, car industry manufacturers and other interested participants. In this paper, we overview of some prospective wireless communication technologies, such as the DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communications) and advanced LTE (Long Term Evolution) mobile communication systems, which are considered as two promising candidates to support future traffic safety applications in vehicular environment is presented. The communication requirements of some active traffic safety applications are pointed. A summary of various types of communications for intelligent VCS (Vehicular Communication System) applications is given. Some future directions and challenging issues for implementing traffic safety applications are also discussed. Our goal is to demonstrate the growing impact and importance of modern communication technologies in achieving future traffic accident-free roads.
