The 5GAA Technical Report on Safety Treatment in Connected and Automated Driving (STiCAD II) documents the latest findings on enhancing safety in V2X-enabled automated driving. Building on the first STiCAD work item, this report explores additional use cases requiring safety treatment, such as sensor sharing and automated valet parking, and introduces a simplified functional safety analysis approach. A key focus is the mutual trust concept, covering technical, organisational, and certification aspects essential for reliable V2X communication. The report also examines potential standardisation contributions and network reliability enhancements.

The 5GAA Technical Report on Automated Valet Parking (AVP) Type-2 outlines the technological framework and implementation details for driverless parking systems. It explores the role of Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication, cellular public networks, Stand-alone Non-Public Networks (SNPN), and PC5 Direct Communication in enabling seamless and secure AVP operations. Key aspects include system architecture, interoperability, security, and deployment considerations. The report emphasises standardisation to ensure cross-vendor compatibility and provides recommendations for optimising network performance. Serving as a reference for automotive and telecommunications stakeholders, it offers actionable insights into scaling AVP solutions while addressing critical safety and operational challenges.

To support the transportation community in navigating the FCC’s Second Report and Order on the 5.9 GHz band, 5GAA has published a comprehensive FAQ document. This resource provides detailed guidance on the transition to Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) technology and the final operational rules by outlining key regulatory changes, technical specifications, and compliance timelines—addressing topics such as equipment authorization, licensing requirements for Onboard Units (OBUs) and Roadside Units (RSUs) and channelization standards. The document also includes step-by-step appendices for obtaining equipment authorization and RSU licensing.

The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) is pleased to support a joint demonstration of  Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) technology by the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) and several 5GAA members.  

The event will take place on February 5-6 at the Federal Highway Administration’s Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.

In partnership with 5GAA members Audi, Verizon and Autotalks, these live demonstrations will underscore the potential of C-V2X technology to protect all road users, improve traffic flow, and create a more unified transportation system. Participants will also witness how C-V2X direct and mobile network communications complement each other, with the potential to enable 360° awareness. 

This marks the first dedicated event of its kind and reaffirms the commitment from industry to support the USDOT in deploying lifesaving V2X technologies. The insights gathered from these demonstrations, as well as from 5GAA’s conference and concurrent roundtables, will inform the path forward for nationwide deployment. 

5GAA welcomes this opportunity to work alongside USDOT and key stakeholders, laying the groundwork for continued collaboration to drive innovation and accelerate mass-market adoption of C-V2X for safer, smarter mobility across the United States.
