RealtimeV2X: Hard Real-Time Precision for Connected Automotive Communications
RealtimeV2X explores hard real-time execution environments, lock-free queues, and Time-Sensitive Networking to ensure safety-critical V2X packets meet strict actuation deadlines.

Guaranteeing Worst-Case Execution Times from Antenna to Brake Actuator
In automated collision avoidance, packet arrival jitter directly delays brake activation. RealtimeV2X provides architectural blueprints for PREEMPT_RT Linux, microkernels, and deterministic network switches inside the zonal vehicle gateway.
Core Engineering Areas
- Deterministic Sidelink Scheduling — Architecting CPU core affinities and priority inversion mitigation to guarantee microsecond packet processing.
- TSN & Time-Aware Shapers — Configuring deterministic gate control lists to isolate critical safety packets from infotainment cross-traffic.
- Zero-Copy Packet Processing — Eliminating kernel context switches and memory copy bottlenecks in high-frequency safety telemetry pipelines.
