V2X CONNECTIVITY DEMANDS IN THE E/E ARCHITECTURES OF INTELLIGENT VEHICLES

The connection of vehicles with other vehicles and the environment is a strong trend. Connectivity offers many advantages, especially for increasing traffic security. However, differing standards and added costs act to slow down implementation. TE Connectivity describes the aspects, which have to be addressed for faster and easier implementation when integrating V2X into a vehicle.

ENABLE ANTICIPATORY DRIVING

The term Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) describes a vehicle’s communication with surrounding and interacting road users and infrastructures. V2X enables the automatic exchange of real-time information. New traffic applications such as traffic safety, environmental protection or autonomous driving build strongly on this technology. In today’s vehicles, modern Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) already collect a wide range of environmental data by means of sensors.

V2X now expands these capabilities to also include None-Line-of-Sights (NLOS) scenarios that cannot be detected by lidar, radar or cameras, thus enabling pre-defined applications, so-called V2X applications, for safety-relevant scenarios such as road work warnings, electronic emergency brake lights or emergency vehicle warnings. In these applications, V2X enables the exchange of information with other vehicles and infrastructures, which cannot (yet) be detected visually by the vehicles. The resulting time advantage can prevent accidents and save lives in critical traffic situations.
