The environmental perception of an autonomous vehicle is primarily based on the performance and accuracy of its sensors. In addition, V2X-communications support, improve, and facilitate communication with surrounding vehicles and thus the decision-making process. The importance of inter-vehicular communication (V2V) becomes even more evident, regarding highway ramps and merging areas with high traffic density. A major challenge of the upcoming transition phase of vehicular autonomy is communication with other vehicles in a mixed traffic environment and in the presence of vehicles with lower levels of automation. This paper aims to investigate the possible vehicle-to-vehicle communication topologies between on-road vehicles in an uncertain mixed environment and in the presence of intelligent and conventional vehicles during on-ramp highway merge and presents a novel approach to enable non-connected vehicles with different levels of autonomy to form or join a platoon.
