Presentation at VAE 2018

Our colleague Zsolt Szendrei presented the article “Zs. Szendrei , N. Varga, L. Bokor: A SUMO-based Hardware-in-the-Loop V2X Simulation Framework for Testing and Rapid Prototyping of Cooperative Vehicular Applications” on the 23rd of May 2018 at the 2nd International Conference on Vehicle and Automotive Engineering – 23-25 May 2018, University of Miskolc, Hungary (VAE 2018).

Abstract. Vehicle-to-Anything (V2X) technologies aim at providing globally standardized communication tools to efficiently transmit information between all players of the transportation ecosystem. Based on such extensive data exchange between traffic objects V2X helps to create an advanced domain of transportation called Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITS) where an ever-growing scale of cooperative vehicular applications/services facilitate enhanced safety and comfort on the road and lead towards fully automated transportation in the future. C-ITS relies on a complex architecture consisting of a cross-layer op-timized sophisticated protocol stack, hybrid radio access solutions, computing al-gorithms, decision schemes, special interfaces, internet-of-things (IoT) integra-tion, etc. Moreover, C-ITS and the support of cooperative use-cases demand high reliability, enhanced Quality of Service/Quality of Experience (QoS/QoE), and rock-solid hardware/software implementations working efficiently and securely even in the most complicated environments including extreme traffic circumstanc-es or unpredictable actions. Therefore, deliberate system testing is a crucial and strategic process, especially when we are closing to the wide-scale deployment phase of real-life C-ITS solutions. Our proposed hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) V2X simulation framework was designed to offer a cost-efficient and simple toolset for testing and rapid prototyping of cooperative vehicular solutions by partially replacing costly, time-consuming and oftentimes dangerous field tests with an easy to install, tabletop laboratory test- and development suite.

The honoured research plan was focusing on the emerging vehicular communication technologies of Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS). Congratulations!

5G V2X demonstration on Magyar Telekom’s 5G Verticals conference

Posted on September 10, 2017September 27, 2017 by László Bokor

Our colleagues Norbert Varga and László Bokor together with Péter Hegyi from Nokia Bell Labs demonstrated their latest results on simulation of multiple dynamic V2X communication / service provision environments in heterogeneous 5G telco cloud systems. The demonstration was held during Magyar Telekom’s 5G VERTICALS – NEXT GENERATION BUSINESS CONFERENCE and showcased 5G V2X communication scenarios where dynamic V2X communication / service provision environments are simultaneously available for connected/autonomous vehicles and other users with highly different communication characteristics and network usage profile. Advanced 5G features like network slicing, application scaling, hybrid multiaccess V2X communication and adaptive network function placement have been applied to demonstrate how use-cases of connected and autonomous vehicles can be efficiently supported in 5G telco cloud systems.
