How to Integrate V2X with Third-Party Simulators

Connect Existing Simulation Environments to V2X

V2X HIL testing may need to operate as part of a larger traffic, vehicle-dynamics, or real-time hardware-in-the-loop simulation. The documented architecture provides integration options that connect supported third-party environments with the V2X test workflow. Traffic and vehicle-dynamics simulators can provide scenario state, position, and motion information while the V2X environment handles application-layer communication with the physical DUT. Engineers can use this arrangement when an existing simulation environment already represents vehicle behavior or traffic conditions and needs to exchange information with the V2X test system. This allows the V2X portion of the test to participate in a broader closed-loop validation architecture instead of requiring every scenario function to originate inside a standalone V2X environment.

The configuration guide identifies supported traffic and vehicle-dynamics integrations including IPG CarMaker, AVSimulation SCANeR, Siemens Simcenter Prescan, dSPACE Aurelion, VTD, and alternative 3D modeling software. It separately identifies integration with real-time HIL environments such as Vector CANoe HIL, dSPACE HIL, NI VeriStand HIL, IPG XPack4 HIL, and CarSim HIL. Different integration software is used depending on the type of external environment. During a test, the external simulator can drive scenario or vehicle-state information while the V2X HIL environment exchanges application messages with the physical DUT. Additional systems may require custom integration, so V2X simulator integration should be described as support for documented platforms rather than universal third-party compatibility.

V2X Simulator Integration Solution

Connect a supported traffic, vehicle-dynamics, or real-time HIL environment to the V2X test system and use the external simulator to supply scenario or vehicle-state information. The V2X HIL environment then handles the application-layer interaction with the physical DUT while the documented integration software links the two systems. Traffic and vehicle-dynamics integration is available for listed simulation platforms, and a separate integration option is provided for supported real-time HIL systems. Engineers can therefore incorporate existing simulation infrastructure into a V2X HIL workflow rather than reproducing all vehicle or traffic behavior inside the V2X environment. The configuration guide names specific supported platforms and notes that other systems may require custom integration, so the solution should be presented as documented third-party integration rather than compatibility with every available simulator.
