Realizing Collective Perception in the Artery Simulation Framework

Vehicles equipped with V2X communication technology are expected to be launched within a year. These vehicles will be shipped with a basic set of applications attributed to Cooperative Awareness (CA) and Decentralized Environmental Notification (DEN) services. Yet, research and standardization of advanced services is under way, e. g., to realize a Collective Perception of vehicles: With local perception sensors such as radar sensors continuously capturing the surroundings, previous research has shown the significant benefit of sharing such detected objects with other V2X-capable vehicles. In this paper, we present the current advancements compared to previous research as well as open research questions regarding the standardization process of a Collective Perception service in the European Telecommunications Standards Institute as well as its evaluation in the established simulation framework Artery.
