Abstract

Many novel cooperative ITS systems are based on Vehicle-to-X communication. Cooperative road side infrastructure for development and test of applications is installed by several research projects. This paper describes an approach for measuring the achievable communication distances around an ITS Roadside Station as well as for post processing and visualizing the data. With these measurement results it is also possible to monitor changes of the communication distances due to hardware aging or environmental aspects.
