Abstract

This paper presents the implementation of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication on an autonomous vehicle. The V2X system consists of a set of traffic lights for crossroad, cars and a road side unit (RSU) whereas the autonomous vehicle consists of an input data management system and controller for automated driving. In this project, we focus on connecting the vehicle to the network and utilizing the connectivity for non-critical message transmission. A mesh network is formed using star topology. The security of the mesh network is then enhanced with a mesh network password. Function of the RSU is to connect and act as a central unit that command the traffic light and other nodes of the network. RSU is the only unit with the authority to give commands to infrastructure of the network, for example, the traffic light. Under normal condition, the traffic light will act based on preset setting. With input from pedestrian through android application, or emergency request from autonomous vehicle, the RSU will give command and issue the traffic light to change the state.
