Communication between vehicles and infrastructure—commonly referred to as Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X)—is set to revolutionize the way we manage traffic, interact with pedestrians, and respond to environmental conditions. By enabling seamless data exchange between vehicles, traffic signals, road sensors, and even smartphones, V2X technology paves the way for a more intelligent, responsive, and safe transportation ecosystem. This paradigm shift will transform urban planning, reduce congestion, lower emissions, and significantly improve road safety for all users of the transportation network.
“Networking Vehicles to Everything” serves as a comprehensive, state-of-the-art resource for those deeply engaged in the development and deployment of vehicular automation technologies. It explores the integration of diverse technologies—from wireless communications and edge computing to sensor fusion and control algorithms—into a unified framework that supports autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles.
This in-depth guide examines a wide array of essential topics, including:
-
Key technical and regulatory challenges in establishing a robust V2X ecosystem,
-
Case studies illustrating real-world implementation and deployment scenarios,
-
Ongoing standardization efforts from leading bodies such as IEEE, ETSI, and 3GPP,
-
Product development cycles and hardware/software integration complexities,
-
Emerging trends like software-defined vehicles, millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication, and the use of advanced control theory in real-time traffic decision-making.
Readers will gain a detailed understanding of the institutional landscape shaping this technology, including governmental bodies, international standardization organizations, automotive OEMs, and telecommunications giants. The text offers a clear explanation of the current technological rivalry—most notably between IEEE 802.11p (Dedicated Short Range Communications, or DSRC) and 3GPP’s LTE-V2X/5G NR-V2X—which are vying for dominance in what is expected to become a multi-billion-dollar global market.
Beyond the technical details, the book also explores broader implications, such as:
-
The socio-economic impact of V2X adoption,
-
Cybersecurity and privacy concerns in connected vehicle networks,
-
Potential use cases in both urban and rural settings,
-
The role of AI and machine learning in predictive traffic management and vehicle behavior,
-
The transition path from human-driven to fully autonomous transportation systems.
Whether you’re an engineer, policymaker, researcher, or business strategist, this resource will equip you with the insights needed to navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of vehicular connectivity and automation. It presents not only the state of the field today but also a forward-looking vision of the transformative potential of connected mobility. More information…
SAE J1939 Starter Kit and Network Simulator
Our JCOM.J1939 Starter Kit and Network Simulator is designed to allow the experienced engineer and the beginner to experiment with SAE J1939 data communication without the need to connect to a real-world J1939 network, i.e., a diesel engine. It may sound obvious, but you need at least two nodes to establish a network. That fact applies especially to CAN/J1939, where the CAN controller shuts down after transmitting data without receiving a response. Therefore, our jCOM.J1939 Starter Kit and Network Simulator consists of two J1939 nodes, namely our jCOM.J1939.USB, an SAE J1939 ECU Simulator Board with USB Port.
The jCOM.J1939.USB gateway board is a high-performance, low-latency vehicle network adapter for SAE J1939 applications. The board supports the full SAE J1939 protocol according to J1939/81 Network Management (Address Claiming) and J1939/21 Transport Protocol (TP).
