Tata Elxsi, a design and technology services provider, announced the adoption of the V2X test system by CAICT, a research institute under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China.

Tata Elxsi developed this test system in partnership with Spirent, a provider of test solutions for automotive networking and communications.

V2X provides comprehensive test environment for testing and performance benchmarking of V2X applications, in various stages of the development cycle, right from early research up to pre-production.

The V2X Test System, developed by Tata Elxsi, enables multi-standards compliance testing using a single solution. This system has the capability to emulate over 100 OBUs and RSUs on a single hardware, enabling repeatable testing of complex scenarios.

The integrated V2X test bed uses a combination of Tata Elxsi’s V2X Emulator software and Spirent’s advanced solutions for GNSS and radio channel simulation. V2X test bed offers the ability to bring real-world traffic scenarios into the lab and significantly reduces costs and time associated with field testing.

Testing engineers can emulate various driving scenarios under a variety of terrain, Wireless Channel and atmospheric conditions. The V2X test bed supports both WAVE-DSRC (US, Asia) and ITS-G5 (Europe) standards.

“V2X technology is gaining interest among global OEMs & Tier-1 companies for delivering safer driving experience,” said Nitin Pai, senior vice president – Marketing at Tata Elxsi.

V2X communication will contribute significantly to making the autonomous car a safe and secure reality.

“The U.S. DOT’s newly issued regulation proposal mandating V2V communication for light vehicles is another confirmation of this widely accepted fact,” said Peter Tan, VP Sales, Greater China and East Asia at Spirent.
