Development of a Cost-Effective V2X Test-Bed to Study the Characteristics of Vehicular Networks
摘要
In recent years autonomous driving and efficient traffic management have become pivotal areas of focus, amplifying the research on Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication technology. However, most research on V2X has relied heavily on computer simulations due to the scarcity and high costs of practical hardware test-beds, often failing to capture real-world complexities. This research presents a novel, low-cost V2X test-bed developed using commodity hardware components, offering a platform for studying V2X communication. The proposed test-bed, which integrates On-Board Units (OBUs) and Roadside Units (RSUs), demonstrates its ability to achieve latency and packet loss that meet relevant standards through extensive experiments under various V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle) and V2I (Vehicle-to-Infrastructure) scenarios.
