Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) Test Equipment has gained significant importance over the years as it provides fuel savings, traffic efficiency, and road safety

Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) is direct communication between a vehicle and any other entity which could affect, or could be directly affected by, that vehicle. It's a communication system that incorporates many more specific kinds of communication such as VDI (Vehicles Display Information), VDI II (Vehicles Diagnostic Information), Vehicle Tracking Information, Vehicle Information Management Systems, and Vehicle Command Signals. The Vehicle Information Management Systems (VIMS) will collect and store all information regarding a particular vehicle. They will then be transmitted to the necessary applications and control commands, such as GPS/RFID, vehicle diagnostics, OBD, Vehicle tracking, and much more.

A standard automotive vehicle-to-everything system is composed of a gateway device, which receives instructions from the test equipment to the various control panels. The gateway device normally operates with a computer and provides physical memory and processing power. The test equipment, which may be an automotive diagnostic scanner or a vehicle computer, reads the instructions from the gateway device and transmits them to the control panels, which are then read and interpreted by the software. The software controls the test equipment to execute the requested test cases, which usually consist of random tests of the following acceleration, deceleration, vehicle balance, steering control, transmission control, and fuel system operations.

As more automotive manufacturers utilize VDI in their production facilities, the test equipment market has expanded to include several different kinds of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) test equipment. In addition to the expanding automotive market for Vehicle-to-Everything solutions, the growing number of vehicles on the road also necessitates improved VDI capability. This is why many auto manufacturers are introducing new kinds of vehicle-to-everything test equipment solutions known as v2x technologies. Recently, in May 2021, Keysight Technologies Inc. collaborated with DEKRA, a German vehicle inspection company, to gain OmniAir recognition as an authorized test laboratory and test equipment provider for C-V2X device certification.
