PARIS — July 11, 2018 – The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA), the BMW Group, Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F), and Groupe PSA — in association with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated, and Savari, Inc. — announced today Europe’s first live demonstration of C-V2X direct communication technology operating across vehicles from multiple auto manufacturers. The live demonstration also featured a live showcase of C-V2X direct communication technology operating between passenger cars, motorcycles, and roadside infrastructure. C-V2X is a global solution for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication in support of improved automotive safety, automated driving and traffic efficiency.
The demonstration exhibited the road safety and traffic efficiency benefits of using C-V2X for Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) collision avoidance, as well as Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) connectivity to traffic signals and Traffic Management Centers (TMC). C-V2X was operated using real-time direct communications over ITS spectrum and demonstrated its ability to work without cellular network coverage, and underscores its commercial readiness for industry deployment as early as 2020. Superior performance and cost-effectiveness compared to other V2X technologies, along with forward-compatibility with 5G, make C-V2X direct communications a preferred solution for C-ITS applications.
Six demonstrations were shown including Emergency Electronic Brake Light, Intersection Collision Warning, Across Traffic Turn Collision Risk Warning, Slow Vehicle Warning and Stationary Vehicle Warning, Signal Phase and Timing / Signal Violation Warning and Vulnerable Road User (pedestrian) Warning. The vehicles involved included two-wheel e-scooters provided by BMW Group, and automotive passenger vehicles provided by Ford, Groupe PSA, and BMW Group, all of which were equipped with C-V2X direct communication technology using the Qualcomm® 9150 C-V2X chipset solution. V2X software stack and application software, along with roadside infrastructure, were provided by industry leader, Savari.
C-V2X is globally supported by a broad automotive ecosystem, which includes the fast growing 5GAA organization. The 5GAA involves over 90 global members comprised of many leading automakers, Tier-1 suppliers, software developers, mobile operators, semiconductor companies, test equipment vendors, telecom suppliers, traffic signal suppliers and road operators.
Cellular modems will be key to the C-V2X deployment in vehicles to support telematics, eCall, connected infotainment and delivering useful driving/traffic/parking information. As C-V2X direct communication functionality is integrated into the cellular modem, C-V2X solutions are expected to be more cost-efficient and economical over competing technologies, and benefit from accelerated attach rates. C-V2X direct communication field validations are currently underway in Germany, France, Korea, China, Japan and the U.S.
C-V2X currently stands as the only V2X technology based on globally recognized 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) specifications, with ongoing evolution designed to offer forward compatibility with 5G. C-V2X also leverages and reuses the upper layer protocols defined by the automotive industry, including the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) organization. C-V2X includes two complementary transmission modes:
- Direct communication as shown in this demonstration for V2V and V2I use cases
- V2N network communication, which leverages mobile operators for connectivity and delivers cloud-based services, including automated crash notification (ACN, as mandated by eCall), hazard warnings, weather conditions, green light optimal speed advisory (GLOSA), parking spot location, and remote tele-operation to support automated driving, to name a few.
“This demonstration builds on the successful C-V2X showcase we organised with our members Audi, Ford and Qualcomm in Washington DC in April” said Christoph Voigt, Chairman of 5GAA.
“We are excited to witness the growing momentum behind this life-saving technology and to see our members working together to deploy C-V2X, and to make it hit the road as soon as possible.”
“The BMW Group introduced the first C-ITS use cases already in 2013 with the market introduction of the BMW i3. Today most of envisaged C-ITS use-cases are already institutionalized. With the implementation of C-V2X, the BMW Group accomplishes the last set of the puzzle with a practical path to C-ITS showing quick benefits,” said Christoph Grote, Senior Vice President Electronics, BMW Group.
“With its ability to safely and securely connect vehicles, along with its evolution into 5G, C-V2X is integral to Ford’s vision for future transportation in which all cars and infrastructure talk to each other,” said Thomas Lukaszewicz, Manager Automated Driving, Ford of Europe. “We are very encouraged by preliminary test results in Europe and elsewhere which support our belief that C-V2X direct communications has superior V2X communication capabilities.”
“We’re moving forward with seamless communication between cars and their environment for enhancing road safety, as well as our customers’ safety,” said Carla Gohin, Group PSA’s Vice President for Research and Advanced Engineering. “Following the first European C-V2X direct communications demonstration we hosted with Qualcomm Technologies last March, we’re pleased to work with leading automotive and technology companies today to highlight that C-V2X interoperability is a reality.”
“This demonstration of interoperability between multiple automakers is not only another milestone achieved towards C-V2X deployment but also further validates the commercial viability and global compatibility of C-V2X direct communications for connected vehicles,” said Enrico Salvatori, senior vice president & president, Qualcomm Europe, and MEA. “We look forward in continuing to work alongside leaders in the automotive industry, like the 5GAA, BMW Group, Ford, Groupe PSA and Savari, to help advance the automotive industry’s shift towards a safer, connected and more autonomous future.”
“As one of the V2X pioneers, our company is extremely pleased to continue to help enable the next step in the V2X revolution that we helped start back in 2008,” said Ravi Puvvala, CEO of Savari. “For the last year and a half, the Savari team has worked diligently alongside the dedicated C-V2X engineers in the 5GAA partnership. The resulting string of increasingly impressive demonstrations is continuing to convince the world that C-V2X will soon be deployed around the world.”

5GAA | Safety of Life Study
The aim of this study is to explore the impact of different technical solutions for Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) communication solutions on EU road safety over time. Three different communication solutions are assessed independently and consist of:
- Cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) communication based on the evolved LTE technology as defined by 3GPP (a global cellular specifications body), divided into two solutions:
- LTE-PC5: Communication solution that uses direct-mode communication between vehicles, road users and infrastructure operating in ITS bands (e.g. ITS 5.9 GHz) independent of cellular network;
- LTE-Uu (cellular): Network-based communications interface (Uu) operating in the traditional mobile broadband licensed spectrum;
- 802.11p a Wi-Fi technology that supports Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communications based on IEEE 802.11p and uses direct-mode communication operating in the ITS band of 5.9 GHz.
For the purpose of this study, LTE-PC5 and LTE-Uu will be modelled separately. However, it should be noted that these would likely co-exist. When assessing the results presented in this study, it should be considered that in reality, these two technical solutions could complement each other.
A key motivation for introducing C-ITS is the major potential to help improve road safety and decrease the number, as well as the severity, of accidents. For this study we have focused on two specific C-ITS use cases with high accident reduction potential that are on the European Commission’s list of priority C-ITS services. The selected services address vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) and pedestrian/cyclist to vehicle (V2P) communications:
- Red signal violation/intersection safety;
- Vulnerable Road User (VRU) protection.
The approach taken in this study separately models the penetration of new vehicles with C-ITS through built-in systems and that of additional equipment in existing vehicles through the driver’s smartphone (referred to as retrofitting).
We consider, as a baseline, the existing statistics of road traffic fatalities in the EU and then evaluate the potential reduction in the number of fatalities resulting from the deployment of each technical solution.
The modelling framework is kept in line with a previous 5GAA study and considers:
- The likelihood that any two ITS stations (vehicles, VRUs, roadside units (RSUs)) involved in a potential accident will be equipped with the same C-ITS communication solution.
- The fraction of fatalities which could be addressed and mitigated by the considered C-ITS communication solution.
- The likelihood that data transmitted from an ITS station via a given C-ITS communication solution is successfully communicated to its intended recipient.
- The effectiveness of a received alert/warning message inappropriately affecting the behaviour of the driver of a vehicle travelling towards a potential accident.
To account for the uncertainty in predicting the extent of future deployment and reliability of C-ITS technologies, we have developed “high” and “low” scenarios showing the sensitivity to key input parameters.
Main results:
The aggregated results for both use cases (without the additional benefit arising from retrofitting of C ITS services through apps on smartphones used in vehicles) illustrate that in the high scenario LTE-Uu shows the highest benefits in terms of the number of avoided fatalities and serious injuries. By 2040 the number of fatalities and serious injuries avoided through the use of the LTE-Uu solution reaches 114,066, compared to 90,380 for LTE-PC5. For the 802.11p solution, the values are significantly lower at 27,144 as VRU protection is not supported through smartphones, leading to a low level of VRU protection (where VRUs are expected be equipped with C-ITS technology through their smartphones). Research carried out for this study showed that the integration of 802.11p into smartphones is highly unlikely; thus, the penetration in smartphones for this technical solution was set to zero.

C-ITSEU
The Delegated Act currently being drafted by the European Commission will have a significant impact on the future deployment of Cooperative Connected and Automated Mobility in Europe. It will regulate the deployment of Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS), which enable the communication between vehicles, infrastructure and with other road users.
5GAA is a proponent of Cellular-Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X), a unified technology platform for connected vehicles, including connectivity to vulnerable road users and infrastructure, encompassing LTE-V2X and 5G-V2X. C-V2X technology thus offers a direct evolution path to 5G.
As illustrated below, C-V2X includes both direct short-range communication in the 5.9 GHz ITS spectrum band (not requiring network coverage or subscription) and long-range communication in licensed spectrum allocated for 4G and 5G, into a single, cost-effective platform.

While 5GAA fully shares the European Commission’s objective to “make Europe a world leader in the deployment of connected and automated mobility”[1], 5GAA is very concerned that the Delegated Act will rule out C-V2X, the most recent technology for C-ITS.
5GAA strongly advocates for a forward-looking C-ITS regulatory framework, allowing technology neutrality and evolution. The future requirements should ensure an effective, cost-beneficial and proportionate regulatory framework, as per the Commission’s Better Regulation guidelines, ultimately improving road safety, traffic efficiency and air quality, while fostering innovation.
5GAA believes that the future Delegated Act should abide in all its dimensions by the technology neutrality principle to prevent unfair market distortion. This principle should be respected in letter and spirit: requirements, standards or specifications governing the deployment of C-ITS should be non-discriminatory, avoiding any technology lock-in.
The deployment of different connectivity solutions, including C-V2X, should be allowed and embraced by the Delegated Act, on par with any other technology.
