Road intersections are considered to be bottlenecks for urban transportation whose impacts are longer travel times and wasted human resources. In this paper we focus on vehicle to vehicle communications (V2V) that allow exchanging data between vehicles. Considering that vehicles are controlled by drivers (not autonomous), we do not pretend to take control of them, nor is the goal to avoid collision or improve safety, as is often done elsewhere. By eliminating the potential overlaps of vehicular trajectories coming from all opposing directions at an intersection, our aim is to demonstrate the potential of communication between vehicles in a complex roundabout and test the connexion strength of that network. We test it on a synthetic trace that reproduces a real traffic flow at a roundabout in Creteil (France).
