Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) Test Equipment; Help Improve Road Safety and Traffic Efficiency

 

Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) is a technology that allows vehicles to communicate with moving parts of the traffic system around them. While vehicle-to-everything (V2X) test equipment are used to test V2X technology, widely implemented in the connected vehicles. V2X plays an important role in commercializing V2X technology, which helps to maximize the throughput of information and increases driver safety. Moreover, V2X plays an important role to ensure safety and security of the vehicle. Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) test equipment are used to test C-V2X protocol testing, GNSS simulation, conformance testing, RF measurements, transmitter accuracy, etc. of the devices installed in in the vehicle known as on-board unit.

V2X testing is done on a variety of systems, including mobile devices, wireless computers, and other electronic devices. V2X also incorporates other types of communication technologies, such as vehicle-to-device (V2D), vehicle-to-grid (V2G), vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P), vehicle-to-network (V2N), vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I). Moreover, vehicle-to-everything(V2X) test equipment allow vehicles to communicate with moving parts of the traffic system around them. However, different V2X applications require different communication performance requirements.

V2X communication involves the use of VHF frequencies to communicate between vehicles, other nearby vehicles, and other autonomous driving programs. VHF frequencies can also be used in the military applications such as communication with ground troops and aircraft. This type of system is usually used to communicate between two fixed points, but it can also be used to communicate between cars and other autonomous vehicles or other human-driven vehicles or human activity such as traffic. V2X is a growing area of technical and strategic interest and is expected to be one of the biggest fields of communications over the next decade.

In the recent past, both automobile manufacturers and government of various countries around the world focused on developing V2X technology to manage the traffic flow and improve the safety/security of the vehicle. For instance, in 2019, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued a notice to remove unnecessary regulatory barriers to the safe introduction of automated driving systems (ADS) vehicles in the United States.
