Abstract
Automated vehicles and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication open the window for sharing of sensor data. This paper aims to provide a systematic view of the delay chain involved. We implemented collective perception (CP) into two street legal automated driving demonstrators (ADDs) to provide insight into the components’ delay. The implementation allowed us to gather highly accurate Quality of Service (QoS) measurements for V2X communication in practical field environments and to gather a set of delay measurements for a working CP system, accompanied by scalability discussions. The results provide a basis for evaluating the delay impact of single components and the applicability of CP use cases from the perspective of time advantage.
