Poster: Informing V2I Deployment Decisions Using Commercial Hardware-in-the-loop Testing

Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) technologies are seeing significant growth as an element of smart cities and a more-interconnected digital world in the Internet of Things (IoT). As governing bodies like State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) contemplate Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) deployments, they need to know what V2I devices will perform best, both in general and in their specific jurisdictions. In this paper, we develop a method to test commercial, off-the-shelf (COTS) Cellular-V2X (C-V2X) roadside equipment (RSE) as a way to inform government deployment; this includes indoor and outdoor tests for thoroughness. While this method needs to be refined, it provides a strong basis for future DOTs to determine which devices will best meet their deployment needs.
