Design of Real Network Hardware In-Loop Simulation Test Platform for Internet of Vehicles Testing

Abstract

Based on the function and performance testing requirements of Internet of Vehicles, a design scheme for automatic simulation test and verification platform for the Internet of Vehicles based on cellular networks and real network in-loop is proposed. First, the overall structure of the simulation test platform and the specific function of each component are presented. The main and functional components of the real cellular network simulation subsystem are then discussed. Finally, two typical application test scenarios are designed and presented; namely, vehicle remote-startup delay test based on a cloud platform and Internet of Vehicles local performance test of different frequency cell switching in a dynamic scenario. Experimental results verify that the simulation test platform can meet the test verification, performance evaluation, and troubleshooting requirements of the Internet of Vehicles function. It is important to improve the application experience of intelligent connected vehicles and the Internet of Vehicles.

Design of a Collaborative Vehicle Formation Control Simulation Test System

“…However, research and development staff need to deploy vehicle-to-connection infrastructure and terminal equipment on a large scale when testing in the actual road environment, and in order to ensure the safe and reliable operation of intelligent connected vehicles in various road traffic situations, a large number of tests and validations need to be carried out in different road environments, such as urban, high-speed, and rural environments [6], and the overly large number of test scenarios and the lengthy testing time will consume a huge amount of manpower and material resources. As an important part of the development of Internet of Vehicles technology, vehicle networking in-the-loop simulation test technology can effectively reduce the test cost and improve the test efficiency, which is of great significance for the evaluation of the communication performance of V2X communication equipment, application algorithm validation and testing of Internet of Vehicles technology [7,8].…”
