The 27^th 5GAA Virtual Meeting Week will take place Online, between 10 -14 July 2023.

The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) has the pleasure to invite you to our workshop for transportation leaders at the ITS European Congress in Lisbon.

5GAA will once again gather members, infrastructure & road managers, transport operators and the whole mobility ecosystem for a fruitful discussion on May 23rd, during the ITS European Congress. This opportunity will focus on continuing the exchange around 5GAA’S 2030 roadmap and your vision for the future of transportation.

🕒 Time: 09:30 AM – 10:30 AM, local time

📅 Date: May 23rd

📍 Location: Room 3A

IMPORTANT:
Please note that the original timing of the session has been modified to allow participants to attend other crucial sessions in the Day`s Programme.

Edge computing is an important topic in the vehicle-to-everything (V2X) field, as many use cases require ultimate latency and reliability as well as significant data exchange from and between vehicles and infrastructure. The support of specific performance requirements is key for the realisation of those use cases. When such requirements are not fulfilled by the underlying network and infrastructure, the application may require closed-loop adaptation in order to cope with the potential undesired effects, which may also include poor user experience, limited support of selected features or indeed service unavailability.

This Technical Report provides an analysis of how predictive edge analytics can be generated and delivered in distributed mobile edge computing (MEC) deployments. In particular, when such deployments involve multiple mobile network operators (MNO), original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and additional third parties such as service providers, application developers, internet provider (IP) interconnect operators and road transport authorities (RTA), the generation and delivery of such predictive edge analytics is not a trivial task and may require interaction across different stakeholders.

This new 5GAA Technical Report presents the results of the 5GAA Work Items Use Case Implementation Description Phase II (UCID II) and Automated Valet Parking (AVP) using solutions based on cellular public networks, Standalone Non-Public Networks (SNPN) and short-range PC5 Direct Communication technologies.

In addition to high-level and detailed communication sequences of the AVP Type-2 use case, the implementation considerations for cellular public network-based solutions, SNPN-based solutions and PC5 Direct Communication are also elaborated considering AVP service deployment requirements.

Washington, DC, April 25 – The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) applauds the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for its decision to permit initial deployments of Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (“C-V2X”) technology in the 5.9 GHz band.

“Today’s action by the FCC is an important milestone on the road towards widespread deployment of life-saving C-V2X technology in the United States,” said John F. Kwant, Executive Director, Americas for 5GAA. “These initial deployments of C-V2X technology will allow road users to begin to benefit from this state-of-the-art vehicle safety technology. 5GAA and its member companies appreciate the FCC’s efforts in this important proceeding, and we look forward to working with the FCC to ensure swift action on the other pending waiver requests to deploy C-V2X for roadway safety use-cases.”

In December 2021, a group of automakers, state departments of transportation, and equipment manufacturers jointly filed a Waiver Request asking the FCC to waive its 5.9 GHz band rules to permit them to immediately deploy C-V2X technology. In addition to the Utah and Virginia state departments of transportation, signatories to the filing included 5GAA members Ford, Audi, Jaguar Land Rover, Applied Information, Cohda Wireless, Commsignia, Danlaw, HARMAN and Panasonic. The request identified a wide range of deployment plans—from vehicular deployments to widescale road infrastructure installments—that public and private stakeholders are ready to implement.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimated that 42,795 people died in motor vehicle traffic crashes in 2022, a fatality rate that remains flat but after two years of dramatic increases. Many of these deaths are avoidable with broad deployment of roadway safety technologies like C-V2X. Indeed, NHTSA has previously estimated that safety applications enabled by V2X could eliminate or mitigate the severity of more than 80 percent of light vehicle crashes. As traffic fatalities rapidly increase, the FCC’s action allows investment and innovation in C-V2X safety applications that can help reverse this troubling trend.
