  Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications is a concept that has been around
for the past decade. It involves communication between vehicles and other types
of infrastructure. This application is exceptionally useful for emergency
services such as ambulances, fire trucks etc. This is because an emergency
vehicle can communicate with the traffic light infrastructure and make it give
the green signal thereby allowing vehicle to pass quickly. This is useful
because it alerts other cars and pedestrians on the road when an emergency
vehicle is present. In this paper, a V2X communications system in an urban
setting will be simulated using MATLAB and the Automated Driving Toolbox. The
purpose of simulation in MATLAB is to test if vehicle to vehicle communication
is affected by buildings and other infrastructure. The first Simulation is
constructed using the Automated driving simulator. In this simulation clover
highway is constructed and cars are added to mimic a busy highway. The second
simulation involves several nodes being programmed in MATLAB and intersecting
at various points to simulate an overpass highway. The end goal of this project
to successfully simulate a V2X communications system with additional components
added within the program to represent additional cars and infrastructure.
