V2X connectivity control unit

Enabling vehicles to communicate with one another and with their surroundings

When vehicles are connected to one another and are able to exchange information with the infrastructure, the accident risk is reduced and pollutant emissions go down. Vehicle-to-everything communication (V2X) helps improve traffic flow and is an important step on the road to automated driving. The new capabilities of future mobility will only be able to develop their full potential with a stable and reliable data connection.

enhanced safety

thanks to driver assistance beyond the line of sight and direct data exchange between vehicles and infrastructure

greater efficiency

Cooperative driving maneuvers and the ability to drive with foresight save fuel.

V2X communication is an important milestone on the road to automated driving and vision zero - a world free from road accidents.

optimal connection

Smart connection management and technology-agnostic connectivity always ensure an optimal connection.

V2X connectivity control unit

The hybrid V2X connectivity control unit (CCU) combines V2X capabilities with telematics data sharing in a single device. It connects the vehicle to other vehicles, the infrastructure (e.g. traffic signals), and the cloud. Thanks to the connection management system, it can seamlessly switch between various communication channels, like DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communication), C-V2X (Cellular V2X), Wi-Fi, and LTE.

Seeing more than human vision can capture

The tail end of a traffic jam behind the crest of a hill or a vehicle emerging suddenly from an obscured side street – there are plenty of situations on the road that are difficult for drivers to anticipate. Video and radar technologies, just like human vision, can also only help in situations in which they have a clear line of sight.

V2X communication enables vehicles to share data with one another as well as with their surroundings in real time. This allows road users to alert one another to critical driving situations and so help prevent accidents.

More use cases

Lane changing with the V2X CCU keeps the traffic flowing

V2X communication makes cooperative driving maneuvers possible, helping improve the traffic flow. Changing lanes, e.g. before entering a road construction site, often results in traffic jams and creates potentially hazardous situations. With V2X, these kinds of maneuvers can be performed much more easily and safely. A vehicle equipped with V2X technology from Bosch can indicate to other road users its intention to change lanes. The other vehicles driving in the right-hand lane – e.g. in a platoon – can then automatically open up a gap, enabling the vehicle to smoothly change lanes.

Platooning

V2X communication is essential for equipping vehicles with automated driving capabilities. In future, trucks will be able to team up to form a platoon, allowing them to drive in line together very closely. Acceleration, braking, and steering operations are all synchronized between the vehicles. With each vehicle in the platoon automatically traveling in the slipstream of the vehicle in front, fuel consumption is reduced significantly and safety on the freeway increases.

Always up to date thanks to cloud connectivity

The V2X CCU from Bosch establishes a secure and reliable connection between the vehicle and the cloud. It allows software updates (SOTA) to be downloaded anywhere and at any time. The connection to the cloud furthermore makes it possible to implement a whole range of services, including predictive diagnostics, fleet management, and community-based parking. And all that is needed for this is a single smart device.

Data and identity protection with ESCRYPT

ESCRYPT makes fully integrated automotive security solutions available, in particular also for secure V2X communication and FOTA.
The CycurV2X software development kit enables vehicle manufacturers, Tier 1 suppliers, and traffic infrastructure manufacturers to implement V2X security protocols in their embedded systems. CycurV2X provides a robust V2X security solution that reliably protects the data communication of vehicles and the infrastructure from being misused, manipulated, or spied upon.

Support for multiple standards enables V2X CCU deployment anywhere in the world

No single standard for V2X communication has as yet become established around the world. Cellular V2X (c-V2X) is a communication standard based on cellular networks. DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communication) is essentially based on Wi-Fi. Both have been developed especially for the requirements in the automotive sector.

The V2X CCU from Bosch, however, supports all the communication standards and is therefore well equipped for use anywhere in the world. We are furthermore working continuously in the areas of technology research, development, and standardization to ensure we can respond flexibly to new trends as well as implement future standards. Together with our partners, we carry out field trials all over the world.

Bosch and Veniam ensure seamless vehicle-to-everything connectivity

What is true for people is also true for cars: communication works best with a common language and a good connection. To enable connected and automated driving in the future, vehicles must be able to easily communicate with one another as well as with their surroundings. There is currently no globally standardized technical basis for this exchange of data, which is known as vehicle-to-everything communication, or V2X. Instead, vehicles will in future communicate using the wide variety of different standards implemented by countries and vehicle manufacturers around the world. “Bosch is taking a multi-standard approach when it comes to V2X. We have developed a universal connectivity unit capable of communicating using all of the transmission standards implemented in connected automobiles,” says Dr. Dirk Hoheisel, Member of the Board of Management at Robert Bosch GmbH.
