Background

• Connected Vehicle Trade Association (CVTA) and the Center

for Automotive Research (CAR) were awarded $3.15 million

to develop the Connected Vehicle Proving Center• The goal is to link wireless enabled roads, proving grounds

and test tracks, independent bench test laboratories and

traffic management centers with a centralized data

processing, evaluation, and training center through the

CVPC.

• An additional $6+ million of in-kind contributions were

provided by industry, including:• $1.2 million NAVTEQ map database

• $1 million QNX embedded systems development tools

• 24x7x365 Call Center support, nationwide M2M cellular coverage

• Data collection, analysis and simulation tools

• Wireless network diagnostic tools, and others

Connected Vehicle Proving Center

An independent national center for wireless

vehicular products and applications

development,

testing

and evaluation.

For commercial, research and government.

A test house of choice for

compliance

and interoperability.

Wireless networks

© Connected Vehicle Proving Center, April 23, 2009 5

(1) “In a LAN environment, all signals are conducted over fixed,

well-defined and “electrically stable” network of cables. This is in

stark contrast to wireless networks, where signals are transmitted

using radio frequency (RF) technology.

(2) Radio frequency waves propagate outwardly in all directions

from their source, and are very sensitive to disruption or

interference.

(3) The quality of the transmitted signal varies over time and space,

even if the source and destination remain fixed.

(4) The path between the source and destination also has a very

significant impact on the quality of the resulting communication.

(5) Open propagation of data means that anyone can receive the

data, even those not “connected” to the network, making security a

far bigger issue for WLANs.”WildPackets, Wireless LAN analysis, White Paper

Wireless Vehicular Testing is uniquely complicated…

1. It is Wireless:

• Can not be seen or touched (RF)

• Integrative (multiple interfaces, antennas, standards)

• Dynamic, topography dependent

2. It is Wireless and Vehicular

• Complicated, traffic scenario based

• Difficult automotive industry requirements (ex: HMI, High speed)

• Dependencies with In-Vehicle networks (ex: CAN, ODBx)

• Autonomous and cooperative

3. It is Wireless Vehicular Applications/Systems:

• Specifically challenging when related to safety (ex. Real time)

• Ad-hoc fast morphing network

• Security, interoperability

From Concept To Solution

From Radio To Integrated System

CVPC is working to provide “end to end” value


Testing Laboratory Requirements

Example features:Configurable: Various communications options (DSRC, WiMax, Wi-Fi, Seamless, etc.). “Golden” reference and specific equipment. Simulated.

Diagnostics tools: Radio communication measurement, network sniffing and tracking, wireless network probing

Debugging tools: System and/or application logging, recording, playback and analysis

Testing tools: Test planning, Test sequencing, Auto-execution, Test and results logging, Fault identification, integrated

Configurable central computing platform: Host applications, Data-bases, Backhaul, private/competitive or collaboratively

Security and privacy

From complete SYSTEM testing (vehicles are end nodes) to testing

of a technology or a component (i.e. a DSRC stack)
