Abstract— Testing real world Vehicle to X communication (V2X) based applications is expensive and can be dangerous with security-relevant applications. This article describes a model car test bed for research and developing automotive V2X-based applications. With this test bed, V2X-based applications can be tested quickly and efficiently. The article describes the test bed infrastructure with its components. To demonstrate how V2X applications can be investigated with this test bed an exemplary application is presented.
