Short summary
Connected cars will be equipped with several wireless transmission technologies. The corresponding exposure of the general public will be significantly influenced by these technologies and must be correctly evaluated. A new measurement procedure suitable for the European vehicle communication standard ITS-G5 together with exposure measurements performed in different cars are described. In comparison with WiFi and Bluetooth, ITS-G5 generated the highest exposure inside a car.
