Analysis and Test of C-ITS Communication

Verify Your Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) With Proven Software and Measurement Hardware

To verify and test the communication of your Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) Vector offers proven software, measurement hardware and supports you with consulting or project work.

Analyze, test or simulate the V2X communication messages such as those from traffic lights, emergency vehicles, roadworks warning trailers, public transport prioritization.

Application Areas

To analyze and test C-ITS communication and applications, Vector analysis and test tools support all necessary protocols and application messages. With a range of sample configurations, you can start analyzing and testing your application immediately.

Examples for Typical C-ITS Applications:

  • Roadworks warning trailers (DENM and others)
  • Traffic light systems (MAPEM/SPATEM/SREM/SSEM/CPM)
  • Green light assistant and red-light warning (MAPEM/SPATEM) 
  • Virtual traffic signage (IVIM)
  • Public transport prioritization (MAPEM/SREM/SSEM)
  • Retrofitted vehicles (emergency vehicle, recovery vehicle, bus, tram, etc. – CAM/DENM/SREM)
  • Emergency vehicle preemption (MAPEM/SREM/SSEM)
  • VRUs like bicycles, e-scooters, motorcycles, etc. (CAM/DENM)
  • Agricultural machines (CAM/DENM and individual application messages)
  • Probe vehicle data (CAM/DENM)
  • Virtual test traffic light system, e.g. at the exit of a public transport depot

When testing C-ITS communication, a measurement and analysis tool supports you with the following essential tasks:

  • Record V2X radio communication
  • Analyze all V2X messages including all protocol layers
  • Visually check V2X stations and V2X events on a map
  • Customize measurement windows

Save a lot of time and effort with this functionality:

  • Automated conformity checks of the protocol layers and application messages ensure interoperability
  • Specific functionality for checking the security mechanisms
  • Functionality to help isolate the cause of the error
The Vector Solution

These tasks are efficiently supported by CANalyzer.Car2x together with VN4610 measurement hardware for the ITS-G5 wireless standard. 
The cube:tap measurement hardware is available for projects with C-V2X.

Advanced Analysis and Test of C-ITS Services

In addition to the standard analysis capabilities of a test tool, the possibilities of advanced analysis and stimulation are of central importance when testing C-ITS services.

With the help of an integrated programming environment individual evaluations and test functions can be implemented. Data and results can be displayed in measurement windows (e.g. in the map window) and on configurable panels. The advantages are:

  • Various test configurations for different analyses and tests
  • Tests can be carried out on individual data or calculated results
  • User interface can be customized for specific topics so that it can also be operated by "non-experts"

When testing C-ITS services, it is also necessary to bring the application into a testable state. Here, the corresponding V2X communication is created based on test scenarios and thus stimulates the application.
A corresponding simulation capability of the test tool offers many advantages compared to testing with real vehicles:

  • Little to no impact on real traffic
  • Execution of test cases that are - logistically and related to the time schedule - difficult with real vehicles
  • Significant reduction in the duration of individual test cases
  • Reproducibility of test cases
  • Significant increase in the depth of testing and thus the quality of C-ITS services
  • Efforts for the temporary modification and operation of (test) vehicles are largely eliminated
  • Independent test execution for individual components - e.g. a traffic light system can be tested without an available bus.
