Figure 32. Diagram. Infrastructure kit integrated connection diagram with C-V2X and CAVERS.

This diagram demonstrates the Connected and Automated Vehicle education (CAVe)-in-a-box infrastructure kit connection with Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) and Connected and Automated Vehicle Education Research Software (CAVERS). A box labeled “Infrastructure Kit” represents the CAVe-in-a-box infrastructure kit. A Power over Ethernet (PoE) injector, traffic signal controller, network switch, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) Hub Edge device, Wi-Fi router with LTE modem, and power strip are all enclosed in the box. Outside of the box are a C-V2X roadside unit, signal head, and computer labeled with CAVERS.

The C-V2X roadside unit outside of the infrastructure kit is connected to the PoE injector with a 48 volt (V) 2 amp (A) Ethernet cable with power. The PoE injector is connected to the network switch with an Ethernet cable, as well as the power strip with a coaxial power connector. The signal head outside of the infrastructure kit is connected to the traffic signal controller with a 120V 60 hertz (Hz) Speakon 8-pin connector. The traffic signal controller is connected to the network switch with a Ethernet cable and is connected to the power strip with a 120V 60Hz NEMA TS2 connector. The V2X Hub Edge device is connected to the network switch with an Ethernet cable and to the power strip with a 5V 2A coaxial power connector. The Wi-Fi router with LTE modem is connected to the network switch with a Ethernet cable as well as the power strip with a 12V 1.5A coaxial power connector. The network switch is connected to the power strip with a 12V 0.8A coaxial power connector. All the components, except for the traffic signal controller, have an alternating current (AC) to direct current power adapter plugged into the power strip. The power strip is plugged into a 120V 60Hz power source, represented by a wall socket graphic. The computer outside the infrastructure kit and the Wi-Fi router with LTE modem are sending information to each other, indicated by a double-sided arrow. The NEMA TS2 connector that connects the traffic signal controller to the power strip plugs into the power strip via a 120V AC plug.
