OmniAir Consortium®, the leading industry association promoting interoperability and certification for ITS, tolling, and connected vehicles, announces the Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), Basic Safety Message (BSM) Conformance and Performance Field Test Tool developed by Wayties, Inc., has earned OmniAir Qualified Test Equipment (OQTE) status.

The Wayties location accuracy tool performs data analysis and reporting in a simple, portable package. The tool generates summary reports with conformance status for each test case and provides detailed testing data, including plots, logs, and raw data.

“We are pleased to add the Wayties location accuracy tool to our growing list of OmniAir® Qualified Test Equipment to support OmniAir’s independent, third-party testing and certification programs,” said Jason Conley, Executive Director of OmniAir. “Test tools like this one play a vital role in the testing and certification of V2X safety devices.”

This tool will play an integral role in the upcoming OmniAir Ohio Plugfest field tests, November 8-12.

OmniAir Certification for V2X devices assures automotive OEMs, Tier One suppliers, and deploying agencies that OmniAir Certified devices conform with industry standards and meet minimum performance and interoperability requirements.

OmniAir’s OQET program assesses and qualifies test equipment, systems, and test tools used in the industry. Only those test systems and equipment that successfully pass OmniAir’s rigorous audit process become a qualified product and are eligible for use by OmniAir Authorized Test Laboratories for certification testing.

OmniAir Consortium certified devices, qualified test equipment/tools, and authorized test laboratories can be found and verified, including Southwest Research Institute’s major test system, in our certified products catalog located at: www.omniair.org/certified-products/.
