OmniAir Consortium®, the leading industry association promoting interoperability and certification for ITS, tolling, and connected vehicles, announces it will host the OmniAir® Ann Arbor Plugfest, the week of May 23-27 in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
OmniAir Plugfests are the premier testing event for connected vehicles, bringing together leading automotive OEMs, device manufacturers, test laboratories, and test equipment providers for a week-long testing event.
The OmniAir Ann Arbor Plugfest will be 100% in-person, with bench conformance, interoperability, security, and field testing for C-V2X radios and modules. We will also build on our V2X safety application testing peformed at last year’s OmniAir Plugfests in Ohio and Michigan.
The University of Michigan’s
Mcity Test Facility in Ann Arbor, Michigan will host both bench testing at their new test laboratory, as well as field testing at Mcity’s connected and automated vehicle test environment.
“We are excited to bring OmniAir Plugfests back to the great state of Michigan,” said Jason Conley, Executive Director at OmniAir Consortium. “Mcity features state-of-the-art facilities for Connected and Automated (CAV) testing and is the perfect venue to help OmniAir and our members advance certification testing for life-saving V2X technologies.”
The primary objective of the Ann Arbor Plugfest is to collectively test devices to evaluate the readiness of C-V2X devices and test equipment based on OmniAir’s Release 1 test cases. These test cases were developed for OmniAir’s C-V2X certification program for roadside units (RSU) and onboard units (OBU). Last year OmniAir launched the world’s first comprehensive certification program for C-V2X devices.
The OmniAir Ann Arbor Plugfest will offer the following testing for conformance, interoperability, and security in both laboratory and field environments.
- Radio Bench testing including more comprehensive overnight offering for LTE-V2X (C-V2X PC5)
- Upper Layer Conformance and Protocol Bench Testing for OBU & RSU devices, testing against OmniAir specifications for LTE-V2X (C-V2X PC5)
- BSM Performance & Location Accuracy Bench Testing for LTE-V2X (C-V2X PC5)
- NTCIP 1218 SMNPv3 Evaluation Trial
- BSM Application Drive Comparison Live Field Testing for LTE-V2X (C-V2X PC5)
- SCMS Security Certificate Testing and Multi-source Certificate Interoperability Testing
