5G is getting roll-out and is considered a significant technology for autonomous vehicles to communicate and navigate. Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) is looking into wireless technologies such as 5G, LTE, and WiFi to leverage them for railways (5GRAIL) (5GRai). In this paper, a sandbox for emulating coexistence scenarios for railway and road communication infrastructure is presented. A concrete case is presented for demonstrative purposes and for validation of the proposal, detailing the different considered elements: a topological setup, SDN-based traffic slicing and hand-over functionality, and traffic generation.
