Design and Implementation of a Low-Cost ESP32-Based Measurement Station for V2X Messages
Context
The adoption of V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) communication is growing steadily. Current production vehicles such as the VW ID series already use the technology and actively transmit messages that share, for example, the vehicle's position. Procuring compatible hardware in small quantities is expensive. At the same time, open-source projects use low-cost ESP32 modules to receive V2X messages. The goal of this thesis is to design, implement and test a low-cost measurement station that receives and decodes V2X messages using an ESP32. Finally, the limitations and possible extensions of the station will be investigated.
Targets
- Research on the state of the art and open-source projects for V2X reception using ESP32
- Design of a measurement station for receiving and decoding V2X messages using an ESP32
- Prototype implementation of the measurement station and acceptance testing
- Investigation of the limitations and potential extensions of the measurement station
Prerequisites
- Programming skills in C/C++ (Python is a plus)
- Interest in embedded systems and vehicle communication
- Ability to work independently
