V2X

V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) communication enables vehicles to wirelessly exchange data with other vehicles (V2V), infrastructure (V2I), pedestrians (V2P), and networks (V2N), using technologies such as IEEE 802.11p (ITS-G5/DSRC) and Cellular-V2X (C-V2X). These radio standards support both short-range direct communication and long-range network-based interaction. Although V2X applications were initially developed for IEEE 802.11p, they have since been adapted to support C-V2X, enabling broader connectivity through cellular networks. V2X communication holds strong potential for advancing automated driving and traffic efficiency. It allows vehicles to share real-time data on position, speed, hazards, and intended maneuvers, enhancing situational awareness and safety—even beyond line-of-sight. Infrastructure elements like traffic lights and road signs can provide dynamic updates to support informed decision-making. V2X communication also supports traffic optimization through vehicle platooning, adaptive signal control, and data-driven infrastructure planning, contributing to safer, more efficient, and sustainable mobility. The V2X communication category is intended to provide engineering guidelines for industrial product development, addressing key considerations throughout the system development process and the vehicle lifecycle. It covers essential such as data security, trustworthiness, application suitability, co-existence, interoperability, and backwards-compatibility.
