Vanetza

Vanetza is an open-source implementation of the ETSI C-ITS protocol suite. This comprises the following protocols and features among others:

• GeoNetworking (GN)
• Basic Transport Protocol (BTP)
• Decentralized Congestion Control (DCC)
• Security
• Support for ASN.1 messages (Facilities) such as CAM and DENM

Though originally designed to operate on ITS-G5 channels in a Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) using IEEE 802.11p, Vanetza and its components can be combined with other communication technologies as well, e.g. GeoNetworking over IP multicast or C-V2X.

How to build

Building Vanetza is accomplished by the CMake build system. Hence, CMake needs to be available on the build host. You can find more details on prerequisites and steps for compilation on our website.

Documentation

Continuous Integration

We strive for quality in our code base. New commits and pull requests are regularly checked by our unit tests in a container environment. At the moment, the three latest Ubuntu LTS versions are run on GitHub’s Actions infrastructure.

Authors

Development of Vanetza started as research project at Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt. Since 2024, nfiniity GmbH has been sponsoring the active development. Maintenance is coordinated by Raphael Riebl. Contributions are happily accepted.
