Validation of a virtual test environment for C2X communication under radio jamming conditions In this paper, we propose a novel car2x communication security testing methodology in the physical layer of wireless systems. The approach is dedicated to automated testing of autonomous vehicles and it is essential for such complex systems operation, especially with regard to safety and security issues. It is based on scenariodriven testing in virtual and real test environments created from collected or simulated data. The presented approach is dedicated for reducing the time and costs of testing and generates a number of potential situations to examine the autonomous system behavior with regard to the wireless communication security. The conducted test results compare some exemplary scenarios, which involve 802.11p C2X communication in presence of intentional interferences, which are realized in different configurations: SiL, HiL and infield measurements.

Interference Tests of ITSG5 VehicletoVehicle Communication Networks with Virtual Drive Tests Automotive communication systems have become a hot topic in the research field, especially with a focus towards connected vehicles. The potential of connected and automated driving promises an enormous increase of road safety and traffic efficiency. With this purpose, dedicated short range communication standards (e.g. ITSG5) have been developed. These standards share spectral resources among all communication partners, which necessitates an evaluation of inband interference. As one potentially powerful evaluation approach, the road and radio environment can be emulated instead of being accessed through fieldoperational tests, with major advantages like repeatability and convenience aspects. This paper describes a testing framework that employs a virtualdrive test approach for the evaluation of the performance of ITSG5 equipment. According to the concept of virtualdrive testing, the road and radio environments have been emulated with regards to a realworld drive track. Packet loss measurements are presented for the evaluation of interference effects present in the communication. The results indicate that the virtualdrive test approach is suitable for testing automotive communication systems.
