  The development of safety applications for Connected Automated Vehicles
requires testing in many different scenarios. However, the recreation of test
scenarios for evaluating safety applications is a very challenging task. This
is mainly due to the randomness in communication, difficulty in recreating
vehicle movements precisely, and safety concerns for certain scenarios. We
propose to develop a standalone Remote Vehicle Emulator that can reproduce V2V
messages of remote vehicles from simulations or previous tests. This is
expected to accelerate the development cycle significantly. Remote Vehicle
Emulator is a unique and easily configurable emulation cum simulation setup to
allow Software in the Loop (SIL) testing of connected vehicle applications
realistically and safely. It will help in tailoring numerous test scenarios,
expediting algorithm development and validation, and increasing the probability
of finding failure modes. This, in turn, will help improve the quality of
safety applications while saving testing time and reducing cost.
