The global rule checks if V2X systems work during signal interference. It helps make driving safe with connected vehicles that talk to roads and each other.
Keysight Technologies and the Korea Automotive Technology Institute have jointly developed a new global testing standard—ISO/TR 17716:2025—to help manufacturers ensure their vehicle-to-everything (V2X) systems can withstand electromagnetic interference (EMI). This is a major step toward improving the safety and reliability of connected and autonomous vehicles.
The standard provides detailed guidance for radiated immunity testing of V2X components, addressing gaps in existing protocols that often fail to evaluate communication performance under EMI conditions. Reliable V2X operation is essential to maintain real-time data exchange between vehicles and surrounding infrastructure, especially in environments with high electromagnetic noise.
The collaboration brings together Keysight’s deep experience in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing and KATECH’s expertise in developing V2X systems. Through extensive validation and testing, the partners developed procedures to assess how V2X components perform when exposed to EMI—ensuring they continue to function safely.
V2X technology enables two-way communication between a vehicle and surrounding elements such as traffic signals, other vehicles, and infrastructure. As connected and automated driving becomes more widespread, ensuring these systems are immune to EMI is critical for public safety and system integrity.
“Working closely with KATECH, we are excited to deliver a consistent tool chain for V2X testing solutions that will set new test environments and testing procedures during the automotive immunity test,” said Thomas Goetzl, Vice President and General Manager of Keysight’s Automotive and Energy Solutions, “This partnership underscores our commitment to providing comprehensive testing solutions that meet the stringent requirements of V2X standards, ultimately contributing to safer and more reliable connected vehicles.”
“The link communication connection and V2X scenario simulation are considered to make the V2X functions, and their communications operate normally during the automotive immunity testing. In this regard, Keysight’s solutions are very useful in the V2X and EMC testing fields,” said Hyok Lee, Executive Principal Researcher at KATECH. “We are confident that this partnership will drive significant advancements in the automotive industry, ensuring the highest standards of safety and performance.”
