Quote of a selected V2X customer

The close cooperation with our partners S.E.A. and NI enables us to validate and verify our V2X devices corresponding to the expected high-quality level of Continental.
The implementation of the V2X communication, RF-measurement and channel emulation for the 802.11p/DSRC and C-V2X on their software and hardware provide us access to the V2X technology and unique test features very early in the technology development.
The SDR based communication implementation and cooperation with S.E.A. ensures that we are able to react to new requirements in short time.
Overall the availability of V2X on the open NI platform enable us to be a leader in the V2X technology.

    Our product family

    Modular test systems and developer tools for every V2X application

    • RF-Conformance Test

      The fully integrated conformance test system allows automated measurements and conformance tests up to 24 GHz for 802.11p, LTE-V and 5G-NR. GNSS emulation is integrated. Ready-to-execute OmniAir, ETSI and 3GPP conformance test catalogs are available. Extension with channel emulation based on SDR are available. The C-V2X test system is certified by OmniAir.

      RF-Conformance Test Systems
    • Icon Automatisierungssoftware

      Protocol & Application Test

      Emulation of all required signals by interactive or automated test execution in open- or closed-loop HIL. V2X, automotive bus (CAN, Automotive Ethernet) and GNSS are emulated based on scenario simulation. EU, US and China standards are supported. The integrated SDR for V2X enables emulation of congestion, RF-effects and channel emulation. A Day 1 test catalog is available.

      Functional Test Systems

    • Monitoring & Logging

      Compact and mobile systems for field and drive testing. Concurrent monitoring and recording of C-V2X (LTE-V) and 802.11p or C-V2X (5G-NR). In parallel, observation of RF-quality. RF-parameters for each message are contained in PCAP-messages for Wireshark. Data acquired by the logger can be used for replay by the Protocol and Application test system in the lab.

    V2X Technology – Safe and Efficient Traffic

    V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything)

    V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) communications is going to transform the mobility industry to improve the safety and efficiency of vehicles and autonomous systems. “Everything” in V2X refers to any traffic participant like vehicles, pedestrians, bikes and others, as well as traffic signs, traffic lights and other infrastructure.

    The core functionality of the V2X technology is continuous information exchange between all traffic members about their current status and actual events by wireless communication – either by direct exchange or using communication infrastructure like mobile networks. Unlike other sensors for autonomous vehicles (cameras, radar, LiDAR) V2X can provide information which is non-line-of-sight and independent of weather conditions. Therefore, V2X communication will be essential for level 4 and level 5 autonomous vehicles.

    Low latency and fast change of communications partners is a crucial requirement which is solved by direct communication between the traffic nodes. The additional application of mobile networks can support V2X in the future. Communication between multiple partners makes it essential that V2X interfaces are conformed to communication standards and RF-regulations. The competing V2X communication standards are implemented alternatively by 802.11p based on IEEE Wi-Fi standards or 4G/5G cellular technology (LTE-V, 5G-NR) based on the 3GPP communication standards. Both communication standards are derivatives of existing technologies, which are specifically designed for the demands of the traffic application.

    The information exchanged and the reaction to specific situations (called use cases) require standards for data structures and behavioral models. These higher levels of communication are defined in different standards for the major regions of the world, e.g. US, Europe and China.

    Extensive tests of V2X components and software on all different technical levels are essential for reaching the final goal of increased safety and save lives in the future.
