Vector as a Partner in Car2x Development

Vector can support you in these new technologies, based on its many years of experience with development and measurement tools for communication systems in vehicles and mature software components.

CANoe, the proven development tool for simulation, monitoring and testing, now supports radio communication based on WLAN IEEE 802.11p. As a user you benefit from:

• Parallel processing of WLAN with CAN, FlexRay, LIN, MOST and others. This creates a communicative connection between the vehicle world with its internal bus systems and the outside world
• Display, logging and filtering of WLAN frames
• A key aspect of WLAN communication is the protocols that are used. In the end, however, it is the actual and target variables– referred to as signals – that are transmitted which determine the behavior of functions. Here CANoe places great emphasis on universal representation and makes full use of the analogy to signals transmitted via CAN, FlexRay, etc.
• Interactive sending of packets via the Ethernet Packet Builder
• Program-controlled sending of packets via CAPL. This lets you create simulations and test fixtures.
• Optional integration of a map display to represent Road Side Units and a vehicle. This produces the relationship between signals and the driving situation.
• For IEEE 802.11p RF communication, CANoe.IP needs a hardware interface module. Modules available on the market from various manufacturers can be integrated for this purpose. LinkBird from NEC Electronics was used for the sample implementation. Interfacing to the modules of other manufacturers is also planned.

CANoe.IP for IEEE 802.11p may need to be tuned to your requirements due to the continually advancing technology and the potential need for adaptation to the communication module. Talk to us.
