- In this paper, we present a hardware and software testbed designed for evaluating vehicle-to-everything (V2X) usecases. From platooning to remote driving, there are many proposals to use V2X communication to solve sustainability or safety issues in transport networks. However, researchers mostly evaluate their proposals in only simulation studies, since setting up real, full-scale field tests can often be prohibitively expensive or time-consuming. The open-sourced Small Vehicles for Autonomy (SVEA) testbed is built around a communication software stack and a 1/10th-scale automated vehicle platform suitable for both cost-effective and time-efficient experimentation with V2X use-cases. The testbed is designed to support evaluation in a wide range of conditions, such as heterogeneous networks or vehicle fleets. To illustrate the suitability of the SVEA testbed for studying V2X use-cases, we detail and implement three use-cases: platooning, adaptive speed regulation from a road-side infrastructure camera, and remote-driving by a human operator sitting in a control tower. Finally, we conclude the paper with a discussion on the use of the platform so far and future development plans.
