Experimental Evaluation of V2X Connectivity Technologies with V2X Channel Models

A new concept of on-demand automatic electric vehicles able to circulate on roads and tracks is under development to revitalize secondary railway lines: the FLEXMOVE project. The operation of this new system requires a dynamic, flexible, and safe supervision system. Such a supervision system will be based on an information exchange between vehicles, level crossing, infrastructure and hubs. ITS-G5, LoRa, LTE, and 5G NR are potential wireless technologies that could be deployed to guarantee connectivity. In these conditions, it is important to evaluate the foreseen key performance indicators to support the different services. This paper presents an in-lab experimental evaluation of Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) connectivity technologies with V2X channel models.
