Abstract

Wireless communication between road users is essential for environmental perception, reasoning, and mission planning to enable fully autonomous vehicles, and thus improve road safety and transport efficiency. To enable collaborative driving, the concept of vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) has long been introduced to the industry. Within the last two decades, several communication standards have been developed based on IEEE 802.11p and cellular standards, namely Dedicated Short-Range Communication (DSRC), Intelligent Transportation System G5 (ITS-G5), and Cellular- and New Radio- Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X and NR-V2X). However, while there exists a high quantity of available publications concerning V2X and the analysis of the different standards, only few surveys exist that summarize these results. Furthermore, to our knowledge, no survey that provides an analysis about possible future trends and challenges for the global implementation of V2Xexists. Thus, this contribution provides a detailed survey on Vehicle-to-Everything communication standards, their performance, current and future applications, and associated challenges. Based on our research, we have identified several research gaps and provide a picture about the possible future of the Vehicle-to-Everything communication domain.
