The rapid digitalisation of the automotive and mobility sectors has made the way we think about “data” increasingly important. Around the world, governments, industry consortia, and technology providers are developing frameworks known as “dataspaces” to manage and share data across sectors. Yet, for connected vehicles and intelligent transport systems, data alone is not enough: what matters is transforming raw data into meaningful, contextualised information that can be delivered where and when it is needed.

In the following paper, 5GAA aims to clarify the preferred conceptual approach that the automotive industry would like to take when it comes to dataspaces and their evolution toward “Information Networks”. More specifically, this short paper will detail the language that should be used, the different types of operations and the impact that these have, including best practices, as well as the commonalities and regional differences.

These discussions are not new within 5GAA, and the scope of this paper is global and does not prioritise any one region or country, but instead is designed to provide 5GAA and its members with a clear message that can be easily communicated to the relevant international organisations, ministries, regulators, and policymakers from across Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific.

• The 5GAA Day One Deployment Guide was instrumental in enabling the largest C-V2X deployment during the “Day One Deployment District” in Atlanta.
• 5GAA members demonstrated real-world C-V2X applications showing immediate public value and nationwide scalability.

ATLANTA, U.S. – 3 September 2025 — The U.S. connected vehicle ecosystem took a major step forward as Atlanta became home to the nation’s first “Day One Deployment District” for Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) technology. The 5GAA Vehicle-to-Infrastructure Communications Day One Deployment Guide was instrumental as a benchmark for C-V2X roadside infrastructure installations such as those earning the spotlight at the ITS World Congress 2025 for the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) and the permanent enhancements for the downtown district.

5GAA members played a key role in showcasing ready-now applications for C-V2X technology in a live urban traffic environment and the clear potential for deployment in other states and cities.

This milestone comes at a moment when vulnerable road user traffic fatalities remain near the highest levels ever recorded, and with traffic congestion costing the U.S. economy more than $36 billion[1] annually. With an estimated nationwide deployment cost of $6.5 billion, as estimated in the ITS America National V2X Deployment Plan, C-V2X offers a powerful solution to enhance road safety.

“Day One Deployment District” also builds a bridge for establishing the C-V2X ecosystem in Atlanta, as OEMs progress from pilot projects toward production-ready architectures. Live demonstrations by 5GAA members and other industry leaders illustrated how C-V2X can offer immediate public value through:

• Faster emergency response with traffic signal preemption and real-time alerts
• Enhancing safety for vulnerable road users
• Lower local agency expenses, reducing costs for school buses and public fleets
• Streamlining tolling and parking through seamless digital transactions

John F. Kwant, Executive Director Americas, 5GAA, said, “Atlanta’s Day One Deployment District proves that C-V2X is ready for prime time. As the global cross-industry association for connected vehicle technologies, 5GAA has worked with its members, public agencies, and technology leaders to turn C-V2X deployment guides into reality. This milestone shows what’s possible when we align standards, infrastructure, and industry commitment”.

With the “Day One Deployment District” anchoring C-V2X in Atlanta, opportunities will also emerge for streamlined revenue streams for local agencies and toll operators. The deployment confirms the State of Georgia’s position as a champion of connected-transportation innovation.

[1] The Economic and Societal Impact of Motor Vehicle Crashes, 2019 (Revised): https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/813403.pdf

Connected and Automated Vehicles are expected to make critical decisions based on data from external sources, yet current approaches to security and safety do not address a fundamental question: How much can the content of this data be trusted?

This White Paper tackles this largely unsolved problem by introducing a dynamic trust assessment framework centred on Actual Trustworthiness Level and Required Trustworthiness Level – metrics that quantify the residual uncertainty about whether external data or system behavior can be trusted based on available evidence and how much trust is needed to meet the operational and safety requirements of the current context. This methodology is intentionally designed to be generic, allowing for different implementations that adapt to evolving operational and organizational contexts. A detailed Automated Emergency Braking use case illustrates how the methodology can be instantiated in a real-world scenario.

The Paper concludes by identifying open standardization gaps and proposing directions for future harmonization of trust assessment in cooperative and connected mobility ecosystems.

The 5G Automotive Association is organising the online session “Securing North American V2X Deployments: Introducing the 5GAA SCMS Certificate Policy”.

• Date & Time:  Tuesday, 9 September 2025
• Location: 8:00 am PT / 11:00 am EDT / 5:00 pm CEST

As connected vehicle and smart transportation deployments begin to take shape across the US and Canada, trust and security in C-V2X communications are becoming foundational to enabling a wide range of applications.

Experts from 5GAA, BMW Group, Qualcomm, and Microsec V2X PKI Inc. are joining this online session to present:

• How C-V2X communications can enhance road safety, support connected and automated mobility, and enable future transportation services, including the critical role of security in ensuring these capabilities function.
• The technical architecture and operational model of SCMS Certificate Policy, and how the policy enables secure V2I message exchange across public and private deployments, facilitates cross-OEM interoperability, and fosters a competitive ecosystem of SCMS providers and vehicle platforms.

Agenda

• Opening Remarks: BMW Perspective on V2X Momentum and Security Foundations (Joachim Göthel)
• Technical Deep Dive: SCMS Certificate Policy, Interoperability and Ecosystem Enablement (William Whyte & Peter Lorinczy)
• Q&A

Motivations for C-V2X include augmenting automated vehicles with non-line-of-sight awareness and cooperative intention sharing, supporting V2X-based tolling over the 5.9 GHz ITS spectrum, enhancing road safety and protection of vulnerable road users (VRUs), and improving traffic efficiency. V2X messages—such as Basic Safety Messages (BSMs), Signal Phase and Timing (SPaT), and Cooperative Perception Messages (CPMs)—require robust security to ensure message integrity and authenticity.

These messages unlock a variety of use cases that depend on trusted and anonymous communications between vehicles, infrastructure, and other road users.

To support these needs, 5GAA has released its SCMS Certificate Policy, a set of rules tailored to the North American ecosystem. Developed by 5GAA Working Group 7 on Cybersecurity, the policy reflects input from automakers, suppliers, semiconductor leaders, PKI providers, telecom infrastructure vendors, and broader industry stakeholders—including feedback from transportation agencies and industry organisations.

Whether you are a policymaker, technology developer, or part of the transportation ecosystem, this is your opportunity to connect with these industry leaders and better understand the security foundations of North American C-V2X deployments.
