5GAA Online Session: Improving Positioning and Situational Awareness through Connected Sensors
The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) presents a new Technical Report titled “Enhanced Positioning Accuracy and Coherent Situational Awareness by Connected Sensors and Positioning as a Service.” The report provides an overview of positioning technologies for Connected Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) and explores how complementary positioning solutions can work together to enhance accuracy and reliability.
Developed under the ConSens (Connected Sensors) Work Item, the report examines how cooperative information exchange between vehicles, networks, and infrastructure can enable new and improved localization techniques. It introduces a new service concept allowing traffic participants to request positioning improvement services from the 5G network and infrastructure, described in conjunction with a digital twin approach for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). The report also presents implementation examples and assesses potential business models for such services.

China Brings Connected Vehicles to Life in Shanghai: Advancing C-V2X Deployment including 5G-Advanced
Shanghai, 23 October 2025 — In Jiading, Shanghai, the 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) and Shanghai International Automobile City (SIAC) co-hosted the “C-V2X Implementation in China and International Cooperation” Conference. The full-day event brought together global experts for high-level strategic discussions and live demonstrations, highlighting China’s rapid progress in C-V2X innovation while fostering dialogue across the international connected mobility ecosystem and showcasing the capabilities powered by 5G-Advanced (5G-A)
“The Shanghai conference and demonstrations highlighted China’s proactive role in advancing C-V2X technologies. It is particularly significant as it showcases leadership and innovation that drive progress across the entire global ecosystem,” said 5GAA Director General Christof Schmidt.
Attendees witnessed live demonstrations of cutting-edge C-V2X technologies. China IMT-2020（5G）Promotion Group C-V2X Working Group and SIAC presented the “Four Layers Demonstrations”, which included scenarios such as sudden cut-outs by preceding vehicles, work-zone alerts, and connected-assisted driving. These tests highlighted how advanced onboard units can receive real-time data from multiple vehicles ahead, enabling rapid adjustments and improving safety. Additionally, demonstrations also showcased how C-V2X enhances vehicle awareness under challenging weather conditions.
In parallel, SIAC, AUMOVIO and China Unicom showcased C-V2X vehicle networking applications based on 5G-A network. Leveraging the 5G-A network, cross-operator real-time sensor information sharing between vehicles and on-demand information distribution between vehicles and infrastructure are achieved. The system supports typical application scenarios such as front-object detection, blind spot communication, and emergency collaboration. With end-to-end latency below 20ms, it meets the stringent low latency and high reliability requirements of C-V2X applications.
“We are honoured to co-host this international forum with 5GAA,” said Gang Chen, Chairman of Shanghai International Automobile City. “As China’s first national pilot zone for intelligent and connected vehicles, SIAC is actively contributing China’s practical experience and fostering global industrial synergy through our deep involvement in prestigious international organisations such as 5GAA and VDA. We are committed to building an open, integrated, and globally influential industrial ecosystem, accelerating the alignment and mutual recognition of Chinese solutions with international standards, and sharing ‘China’s Wisdom’ and the ‘Shanghai Model’ with the world. We look forward to joining hands with global partners in pioneering a new chapter for intelligent and connected mobility,” he said.
The C-V2X Chinese Solutions and International Cooperation Conference marked a milestone in advancing global dialogue on connected mobility. By combining strategic discussions with practical demonstrations, the event reaffirmed the shared commitment of 5GAA and SIAC to driving forward C-V2X innovation and international cooperation.

5GAA Statement of Intent: How Industry Should Approach the Subject of Dataspaces
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.

C-V2X Use Cases and Service Level Requirements (Vols. I, II and III)
This updated document series from the 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) provides a comprehensive framework for defining and analysing C-V2X use cases and their associated Service Level Requirements (SLRs). It builds upon previous work, refining methodologies for describing use case scenarios, considering factors like road environments and involved actors.
Published in three volumes, each of them includes a curated set of C-V2X use cases, respectively detailed with specific SLRs. These use cases serve as a valuable resource for 5GAA work groups, guiding the development of C-V2X solutions, informing standardisation efforts, and supporting the creation of robust business cases for deployment.
5GAA Members to Demonstrate Latest C-V2X Tech in Berlin
The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) will host a technology demonstration event in Berlin on 24 October, showcasing the potential of Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) technology to redefine mobility across Europe. The event will take place with 5GAA members, leaders from the automotive, telecommunications and technology sectors; it will feature over 10 indoor and outdoor demonstrations that address both critical safety and advanced applications.
C-V2X leverages cellular networks to connect vehicles with each other, infrastructure, and pedestrians, aiming to enhance safety and convenience on the roads. This technology has gained momentum globally, with favourable legislative frameworks in Europe, the U.S. and beyond, and commitment from automakers. This signifies a robust ecosystem that is ready to leverage a huge amount of already existing connected vehicles and deploying further C-V2X solutions at scale.
In countries like Germany, traffic accidents remain a significant concern, with the country alone recording 2.5 million incidents in 2023 and pedestrian safety a growing issue. It is also estimated that up to 40% of traffic in German urban centres stems from drivers searching for parking. C-V2X is positioned to address these challenges.
The Berlin demo event will build upon the 5GAA demonstrations held last year in Detroit, which revolved around vulnerable road user protection. This year, the focus will shift to showcasing similar and new use cases in a European environment, utilising existing European mobile infrastructure.
The event will be preceded by the 5GAA conference titled “Scaling Up Connected Mobility: What’s Next for Germany and Europe?” This combined event offers a unique platform for attendees to engage with industry leaders and stakeholders.
