OmniAir Consortium®, the leading industry association promoting interoperability and certification for ITS, tolling, and connected vehicles, is excited to announce the completion of our latest V2X, Test Control Interface Version 3 (TCIv3).
Our latest publication introduces new elements for automating C-V2X testing and includes enhancements that support 802.11, 3GPP, 1609.x, J2945/1, and J3161/1 in addition to C-V2X test scripts. This version utilizes a standard protocol between test tools and devices that allows for controlled and repeatable testing.
TCIv3 is scalable and enables users to push “AT” commands and to change XML config files to C-V2X devices under test. These updates will help lower the overall cost of certification testing as the process is automated.
“Developing the latest OmniAir test control interface was a major endeavor,” said Mike Brown, Institute Engineer at Southwest Research Institute and OmniAir Connected Vehicle Techincal Working Group Chair. “The new version is designed to bring about a streamlined approach to testing and certifying life-saving V2X devices.”
There are a few items a device under test (DUT) vendor must do to enable TCIv3. The DUT must support an IPv6-based link (Ethernet, Board, USB, Wifi or Cellular), generate basic safety messages (BSM), read security credentials, and be able to download security credentials for at least one vendor.
OmniAir members have the exclusive right to implement TCIv3 into their test systems and V2X devices. It is also important for our members participating in Plugfest readiness testing events to incorporate the latest version. Those attending without TCIv3 will have limited manual testing available.
Members are encouraged to contact Aaron Moore, Technology Programs Manager for access to the Github and SharePoint sites.
