Abstract
Cooperative Cyber-Physical Devices (Co-CPS) are reaching into the most diverse areas and pose new integration challenges. For cooperative autonomous machines, safety and reliability must be guaranteed without human presence. Among these, Cooperative Vehicular Platooning (Co-VP) applications offer an exciting promise, as they allow to improve road occupation, reduce accidents, and provide fuel savings. The high complexity and safety-critical characteristics of these applications requires them to be validated, to ensure their reliability before being applied in real scenarios, notably regarding their underlying communication transactions.
This paper presents an architecture for validating a Co-VP system via Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) integration of IEEE 802.11 communications and co-simulation support of a 3D simulator. We present it in a scenario of communication according to the ETSI ITS model and information exchange frequencies between the vehicles. Through these scenarios that mimic realistic conditions of Co-VP applications, we observe the impact of such variations on the number of messages received, network delay, and lateral and longitudinal platoon errors.
