Figure 40: PRE-DRIVE C2X test trucks of Volvo Technology
For the tests done by Volvo Technology two trucks are used. The trucks are both
FH-12 models, one is a rigid with a box and one is a tractor for trailers. The Vehicles
are equipped with power supply system with consumption batteries that supplies all
the installed computers with continuous stable 12V and 24V DC power. The
communication is handles by a prototype unit from Delphi in one of the vehicles and
a Wave Box 2 from Renesas in the other. External antennas from Smarteq have
been mounted on the roof. The applications run on a Car PC connected via Ethernet
to a Router handling 3G connection, GPS and time synchronization. All computers
in the vehicles are running GNU/Linux.
The Car PC in one of the vehicle is connected to the CAN bus through a VGW
(Vehicle GateWay). The VGW is configurable of which signals it should collect from
CAN and send to the CarPC via USB. The truck without VGW has mostly been used
as a RSU (Road Side Unit) and as a test node for communication.
