A new approach to evaluate experimental communications system tests is presented. Initial inter-vehicle communications test trials were performed. The equipment and the test scenarios are presented. The common approach of a histogram-based performance evaluation which considers the message loss ratio and the link interrupt ratio is compared to a new integral-based estimation method. Several test driving scenarios, including overtaking and oncoming traffic, are carried out, and the results are presented in histogram form and in integral-based form.
