With the rapid development of autonomous driving technology, collaborative communication between vehicles becomes more and more important. As a new vehicle communication technology, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2X) technology realizes the information exchange between vehicles and vehicles, vehicles and infrastructure through vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-road collaboration (V2I), and effectively improves road traffic safety and efficiency. In V2X technology, cellular-based vehicle networking (Cellular V2X, referred to as C-V2X) relies on it
The popularization of V2X technology is accelerating, and the development prospect is broad
As a key technology for intelligent connected vehicles, the development of V2X technology has gone through several key stages.
V2X technology facilitates advanced autonomous driving
In the complex traffic environment of the city, the camera recognition of autonomous vehicles can provide real-time information, but there are blind spots in obscured or complex road conditions (such as intersections), which cannot ensure accuracy. In contrast, V2X communication has the advantages of high real-time and immunity from occlusion, which can make up for the shortcomings of the former, and the high-quality signal provided by V2X is crucial for high-level autonomous driving at L3 level and above. For mid - to low-end vehicles, V2X can provide more basic driver assistance functions such as navigation and collision warning to improve driving safety.
Therefore, V2X communication technology has become an important means to solve the limited range of bicycle sensors, and is also an important part of the realization of highly autonomous driving.
However, when adding V2X functionality to existing smart driving software, developers face limitations in scene construction, traffic light setting, and the inability to automatically generate V2X messages from high-precision maps. This is due to the fact that existing simulation tools for autonomous driving test scenarios lack certain key features and rely on AD hoc and less automated solutions.
As V2X technology continues to evolve, close collaboration between vehicle, road, and cloud will become particularly important. It is difficult for any party to complete the construction of the V2X system independently, and the cooperation of the industry has become a key force to promote the landing of this technology.
Just as Zero-beam technology, which plays an innovator and pioneer in the field of V2X production vehicle end applications, is enhancing the environmental perception and decision-making ability of autonomous vehicles through V2X technology, using real-time data exchange between vehicles and vehicles (V2V), vehicles and infrastructure (V2I), and vehicles and networks (V2N) to achieve over-the-horizon traffic information acquisition. This overcomes the limitations of traditional sensors in bad weather or obstructed sight. By integrating V2X communication modules, autonomous driving systems can predict and prevent potential traffic risks, optimize driving strategies, and improve road safety and traffic efficiency through collaborative decision-making between vehicles and between vehicles and traffic signal systems.
Optimize collision warning at urban intersections with V2X communication
In the process of enhancing and accelerating autonomous driving, Zero-Beam Technology is supported by MathWorks products and technical services to efficiently develop collision warning simulation scenarios for vehicles at intersections. The intersection is a very typical scene of intelligent driving blind area, which can play the function of V2X blindness well. By using MathWorks Simulink test bed model and RoadRunner scenario simulation, Zero Beam Technology can simulate the complex situation including V2X system in the actual traffic environment, test each module of the autonomous driving system, ensure full verification of functions, and reduce risks in practical applications.

As a design, test and simulation tool for V2X functions in the autonomous driving fusion scenario, RoadRunner is mainly used to create static and dynamic scenes, such as complex road network, traffic signals, vehicles, pedestrians and other environmental elements. RoadRunner itself can support the import and export of different high-precision maps. Building on this foundation, MathWorks and Zero Beam developed several new features for V2X based intelligent connected vehicle applications, including automated processing based on high-definition map information, configuration and interaction of traffic light timing signals, and more. RoadRunner provides a useful tool to automatically generate maps and SPaT messages from HD maps, greatly improving the efficiency of SIL (software-in-the-loop) testing. When the industrial computer equipped with the RoadRunner SIL test environment is connected to the test instrument, automated HIL testing can be performed.
In this system, Simulink is responsible for the calculation and control of intelligent driving functions and produces output results based on inputs. Through information exchange between Simulink and RoadRunner, the simulation environment can interact with the actual algorithm to simulate the dynamic behavior and decision-making process of the vehicle.

In addition, the two parties are focusing on the development of traffic-light related features, specifically on how V2X communications interact with the timing signals of traffic lights. Through these developments, vehicles can know in advance the status of traffic lights at the intersection ahead, so that they can take appropriate measures in time.Conclusion
The collaboration between MathWorks and Zero-Beam Technologies leverages their respective strengths to create an efficient and reliable V2X simulation platform for intersection collision prediction. The platform not only provides important support for the development and implementation of V2X technology, but also lays a solid foundation for the popularization of intelligent driving. Looking ahead, with falling hardware costs and increased policy support, the market penetration of V2X technology will increase significantly in 2025 and the three to five years after that, so let's wait and see.
