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 Technology Reaches U.S. Milestone with the First “Day One Deployment District” at the ITS World Congress 2025
- 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.

A Framework for Dynamic Trustworthiness Assessment in Cooperative and Automated Vehicles
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.

Mobile Edge Computing Use Cases, Initial Test Specifications and Evaluation Methodology Review
This second Technical Report (TR) edition provides an updated set of Use Case requirements, and a new evaluation methodology review for deployment potential using Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) infra-structure. The work is based on Use Cases (UC) and requirements developed by 5G Automotive Association’s Work Group 1 (WG1) and other organisations, such as the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) MEC and China’s IMT 2020 PG.
Down-selection and analysis of UCs are outlined in this TR according to different objectives and criteria, including the technology’s feasibility and demonstrated capabilities, its evaluated performance, its proven business potential, etc. For this, a vehicle Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) perspective on UCs is featured because the end application is consumed on the vehicle side. Additional requirements, such as end-to-end (E2E) security schemes, should also be considered.
The newly introduced evaluation methodology presented in this TR is examined through discussion of examples and best practices. The aim of this approach is to help OEM’s better evaluate how/when to deploy vehicle features on-board, in MEC, or in a central cloud. A discussion of the relevant criteria to be considered, and the related technical or business issues for these criteria, is given to guide the reader through the evaluation methodology.

The first version was published in July 2021, and can be found here.
Credential Management Supporting V2X Commercial Deployments
Currently, for V2X direct communication, there is no available common policy (certificate policy for Public Key Infrastructure, or PKI, operators) for Security Credential Management System (SCMS) in the U.S. or Canada. A few SCMS providers created their own policies, which are not only incomplete but there are no published common policy documents feasible for SCMS PKI operation, hindering the widespread adoption of the technology. The Government of Canada sponsored an effort which resulted in a model for consideration.
A common Certificate Policy (CP) would help facilitate an ecosystem supporting interoperability and shared trust for V2X direct communication. The European Union addresses this issue by taking a central regulatory role, creating the CP, Security Policy (SP) and C-ITS Point of Contact (CPOC) documents that govern a V2X PKI for direct communication. North America need not duplicate what has been done elsewhere, though an accepted policy will build a greater ecosystem and support V2X direct deployment among a diverse set of automakers and other transport agencies.
The Certificate Policy Proposal contributing to this Work Item (WI) evolved into a Technical Report (TR) that develops a clear CP leveraging global best practices for security PKI and practical experience securing V2X direct communication, as well as common processes to facilitate an approach to SCMS.
For V2X mobile network communication, certificates are needed to authenticate interconnected backend systems and to protect communication between the systems. This Technical Report also elaborates on how to handle those certificates.
