Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research aims to develop a roadside ITS station that supports accurate and real-time V2X communication using a common method in harmony with international standard technologies of Japan, the United States, and Europe. The roadside ITS station was developed by combining Autoware, an open-source automated driving software, and OpenC2X, another open-source cooperative ITS software. This implementation was released as AutoC2X, which is also open source. To verify the roadside ITS station that can support automated driving, we conducted field experiments to evaluate the packet arrival rate and delay, and confirmed that real-time performance could be achieved.
