Accelerate the understanding and adoption of VRU protection services enabled by C-V2X

The 5GAA work item VRU-PRO aims to increase our understanding of the implementations of Vulnerable Road Users (VRU) use cases based on recommendations highlighted in 5GAA’s VRU White Paper published in 2020.
During a set of activities carried out between 2020 and 2021, participating 5GAA members were divided in groups, which focused on targeted proof-of-concepts, demos and deployment activities. The outcome of these activities demonstrated how diverse approaches using V2X can increase safety for pedestrian, roadworkers, cyclists, e-bikes, mopeds, e-scooters and other powered two-wheelers. The learnings acquired are already feeding concrete plans to scale up deployment in different parts of the world.
5GAA’s next steps on VRU will focus on large-scale demos on interoperability of VRU solutions and applications, and in-depth studies on VRU Awareness Messaging (VAM) and Personal Safety Messaging (PSM) standardisation.
