A Tool for V2X Infrastructure Placement

V2X technology sees an increasing rollout all over Europe, for instance as part of the C-Roads initiative. These rollouts are put into operation with implementing several use cases like Traffic Signal Priority request (TSP) for public transport or emergency vehicles or the provision of Green-Light Optimized Speed Advisory (GLOSA). Depending on the use case, the placement of V2X communication equipment, like Road-Side Units (RSUs), is essential for successful implementation of services. In this paper, a tool for V2X planning is introduced, which allows the efficient and fast estimation of V2X communication ranges especially in densely developedareas, reducing the need for costly measurement campaigns. Predicted data is compared with the results of a real-world measurement campaign in the city of Chemnitz, Germany.
