Spirent思博倫宣布正式發布第一種WAVE-DSRC（車輛環境無線接入－專用短程通信）一致性測試解決方案，其中還包含一整套美國交通運輸部（USDOT）認證所需的測試。

 

2016年底，美國交通運輸部提出了一項規則建議，要求汽車製造商在所有新造輕型車輛上加入車輛間（V2V）通信技術。其目的是在整個行業中實現標準化的消息傳遞部署，使V2V設備在溝通時能夠“說相同的語言”。憑藉這種強制性的車輛間“交談”規定，可以實現諸多全新的碰撞規避應用，很可能每年避免數十萬起碰撞事故。

 

Spirent思博倫的TTsuite-WAVE-DSRC包含四個不同的協議一致性測試套裝，全部符合美國交通運輸部的認證操作理事會（COC）所規定的一致性測試規格。它可以實現完整的測試自動化，包括獨立適配的框架，並且可以利用多種插件實現擴展，滿足不斷變化的開發需求。

 

美國交通運輸部長Anthony Foxx曾在國家公路交通安全管理局（NHTSA）網站上指出：“我們將竭盡所能實現運輸技術挽救生命的潛力。這項期待已久的V2V規則將是這一進程中所邁出的新一步。一旦部署完成，V2V將提供360度的全方位道路態勢感知能力，並且將幫助我們加強車輛的安全性能。”

 

Spirent思博倫通信營銷及業務拓展總監Thomas Schulze表示：“思博倫很榮幸能夠提供現代化的車內及V2X網絡連接測試解決方案，為美國交通運輸部的活動提供支持。我們一直致力於改進未來駕駛的革新，確保以高質量的產品提供比以往任何時候都更安全、更便利以及更多信息娛樂選項。我們將盡力協助客戶加快自動化車輛的開發和部署。”

 

此次發布的全新產品專門面向供應或測試WAVE-DSRC ITS技術的企業。Spirent思博倫的TTworkbench是一種特性全面的集成式測試開發和執行環境（IDE），可提供多種豐富的功能，包括被測設備監測和模擬等，適用於所有汽車國際標準測試規格，包括OPEN聯盟、AUTOSAR和Avnu汽車測試規格等。

 

Spirent Communications Plc (LSE: SPT), an industry leader in test and measurement, today announced the release of the first WAVE-DSRC (Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments - Dedicated Short-Range Communications) conformance test solution that includes a set of tests required for U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) certification.

 

In late 2016, the USDOT proposed a rule that would require automakers to include vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) technologies in all new light-duty vehicles. The purpose is to make V2V devices “speak the same language” through standardized messaging deployed throughout the industry. Mandating that vehicles “talk” to each other enables a multitude of new crash-avoidance applications that could prevent hundreds of thousands of crashes each year.

 

Spirent’s TTsuite-WAVE-DSRC consists of four different protocol conformance test suites as per the USDOT Certification Operating Council (COC) conformance test specifications. It enables full test automation, includes frameworks for individual adaptation, and it is extensible with many plug-ins to meet constantly changing development requirements.

 

“We are carrying the ball as far as we can to realize the potential of transportation technology to save lives,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx on on the NHTSA website. “This long promised V2V rule is the next step in that progression. Once deployed, V2V will provide 360-degree situational awareness on the road and will help us enhance vehicle safety.”

 

“Spirent is proud to support the activities of the U.S. Department of Transportation with modern solutions for testing in-vehicle and V2X connectivity. Our engagement helps to improve the future of driving by ensuring high-quality products that provide more safety, more convenience and more infotainment options than ever before.  We are committed to assisting our customers accelerate the development and deployment of automated vehicles”, says Thomas Schulze, Director of Marketing and Business Development.

 

This new product release is targeted at companies supplying or testing WAVE-DSRC ITS technology. Spirent ‘s TTworkbench is a full-featured integrated test development and execution environment (IDE) that offers a variety of functions including DUT monitoring and simulation. It includes support for all of the Automotive international standard test specifications, including the OPEN Alliance, AUTOSAR and Avnu Automotive test specifications.
