OmniAir Consortium®, the leading industry association promoting interoperability and certification for ITS, Tolling, and Connected Vehicles, will be working with test equipment vendors and test laboratories to provide comprehensive conformance and interoperability testing of V2X devices at the upcoming European Plugfest, hosted by DEKRA at their Testing & Certification Laboratory and test track in Málaga, Spain.
OmniAir Plugfest events are the premier testing venues for Connected Vehicles. These week-long testing extravaganzas provide an opportunity to test V2X devices, in both lab and field environments. OmniAir Plugfests draw device manufacturers, Tier One Suppliers, chipset providers, OEMs, deploying agencies, and leading engineering firms from Asia, Europe, and North America.
“There is no better place to host OmniAir’s first European Plugfest then at DEKRA, our first OmniAir Authorized Test Laboratory (OATL) in Europe,” said Jason Conley, Executive Director for OmniAir. “We are excited to bring our testing event to Europe to promote global interoperability and certification for C-V2X and DSRC devices.”
“DEKRA is excited to host OmniAir’s European Plugfest and to open our state-of-the-art test track and laboratory to V2X device makers from around the world, said Thomas Jäger, Senior Vice President, Service Division Product Testing at DEKRA. “Participants will encounter and interact with real and simulated infrastructure elements including vehicles and buildings as they conduct location accuracy, conformance, and interoperability testing.”
