• Abstract: This paper introduces a probabilistic framework and hybrid validation methodology for V2X-enabled Collective Perception (CP) in complex traffic scenarios. The proposed Bayesian fusion algorithm extends the perceptual horizon of connected and autonomous vehicles by integrating heterogeneous sensor observations from multiple agents into a shared probabilistic occupancy grid. Each cell of this grid encapsulates both occupancy likelihood and uncertainty, enabling explainable and trustworthy situational awareness beyond the ego vehicle's field of view. To bridge the gap between simulation and real-world evaluation, a hybrid testing framework is developed, combining CARLA-based virtual environments with vehicle-in-the-loop experimentation. Experimental results in a roundabout scenario demonstrate a 260 percent increase in field-of-view coverage and a rise in occupied-cell recall from 0.82 (ego-only) to 0.94 (six-agent CP) under nominal localization conditions. Overall, the proposed approach provides a reproducible and interpretable foundation for validating CP systems, supporting the safe and certifiable deployment of cooperative autonomous vehicles.
