V2X Communication Engineering: Building C-V2X and DSRC Systems for Connected Vehicles

Build V2X Systems That Save Lives and Meet 2026 MandatesV2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) communication is rapidly transitioning from a research concept to a strict regulatory requirement. With 2026 EU mandates and US DOT infrastructure grants already in motion, OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers are racing to integrate C-V2X into production ECU stacks. Engineers who master the complete V2X stack are in unprecedented demand.V2X Communication Engineering is the definitive, hands-on implementation guide for the modern C-V2X technology stack. Moving beyond theoretical policy discussions, this book dives deep into 3GPP Release 16/17 specifications, delivering engineering-level insights for building connected vehicle networks.What You Will Learn: - C-V2X vs DSRC: Technical comparisons and why C-V2X emerged as the standard.- PC5 Sidelink Protocol: Master Mode 2 resource allocation and timing for safety-critical messages.- V2X Message Sets: Detailed encoding examples for BSM, SPAT, MAP, RSA, and PSM.- Hardware Engineering: On-Board Unit (OBU) design and Roadside Unit (RSU) urban deployment strategies.- Security & PKI: Certificate enrollment, pseudonym management, and misbehavior detection (SCMS).- Regulatory Compliance: Essential checklists for 2026 EU type approval and US federal grant standards.- ADAS Integration: Fusing V2X perception data with camera, radar, and lidar for autonomous driving.Whether you are integrating C-V2X into an ECU, deploying RSUs along a smart corridor, or passing conformance testing, this book provides the practical blueprints you need. Stay ahead of the 5G NR-V2X curve and build the future of connected, autonomous transportation today.
