5GAA Conference – US V2X Vision: Bridging Gaps and Accelerating Deployment in the US
The 5G Automotive Association is pleased to announce our upcoming Conference, “US V2X Vision: Bridging Gaps and Accelerating Deployment in the US”, taking place in Washington DC.
The event is scheduled for 9 AM – 12 PM (EST) on 6 February 2025, at the National Press Club. This conference will provide a great platform for discussion with high-level speakers and industry stakeholders.
With the US V2X National Plan and the FCC’s adoption of the Second Report and Order on the use of 5.9 GHz band in November 2024, the US is making significant progress towards realising the National V2X Deployment Plan vision. 5GAA is looking forward to supporting this process and discussing the successes of V2X deployments and the road ahead.
The conference will outline existing achievements and ongoing deployments, as well as priorities for the next administration in the field of connected transportation.

Interoperability testing
Testing certification in the C-V2X ecosystem
The growth of connected vehicles and infrastructure is becoming apparent throughout the world. C-V2X is constantly evolving, and it is necessary to ensure that all stakeholders (e.g. telecommunication and automotive sectors) are working together to ensure that connected mobility is safer and more efficient. Hence, it is important to ensure that the public and policy-makers trust the technology. 5GAA aims to support regional certification bodies to guarantee safe and reliable intelligent transport systems globally. 5GAA is dedicated to giving the C-V2X ecosystem players a voice in reviewing and developing the certification framework. On top of mandatory regulatory requirements (e.g. Radio Equipment Directive in the EU or FCC rules in the US), a number of organisations offer certification programs based on agreed industry standards which are equally critical to guarantee compliance and ensure interoperability. Such certification programs also facilitate global/regional harmonisation thus helping to reduce testing costs and accelerating time to market.
GCF C-V2X certification program
GCF is a non-profit, global membership-driven organisation that promotes mobile and IoT certification programs for conformity to agreed standards of interoperability. Since 2018, 5GAA has partnered with GCF on a C-V2X certification programme for the radio layer – with an initial focus on LTE PC5 Side Link in Mode 4, upon which global application and services can be built. The program was launched in July 2021. The program allows companies and organisations to certify their C-V2X capable products for short-range functionality, allowing direct communications between V2V and V2I equipment. The program, based on lab conformance testing, is available to both GCF members and non-members. GCF and 5GAA members continue to collaborate within the Connected Vehicles Work Stream (CVWS) to develop and manage the C-V2X Certification Program.

OmniAir Connected Vehicle Certification
OmniAir Consortium is a leading industry association based in the USA which promotes interoperability and certification for connected vehicles, ITS, and transportation payment systems. Their members include public agencies, private companies, research institutions, and independent test labs. OmniAir aims to provide the opportunity to work collaboratively to develop and determine the requirements for national certification programs. Since 2019, 5GAA has partnered with OmniAir to collaborate on conformance assessment and interoperability testing of C-V2X devices and solutions. A “Joint Steering Committee” was established in 2022 between the two partner organizations to help advance cooperation on technical matters and projects of interest to both organizations (i.e., testing and certification). OmniAir’s Connected Vehicle Certification program allows members to measure compliance and ensure interoperability among products and services that support OmniAir’s specifications. Companies completing the certification may display the OmniAir® Certified logo to demonstrate to consumers, customers and partners that they have created a high-quality, interoperable device that is known to work with other OmniAir-certified devices. /p>
Ecosystem partner
The expertise of our members allows 5GAA to secure its position in the certification discussions in all parts of the world. 5GAA wants to continue supporting the organisations in the C-V2X ecosystem to ensure that the best products are placed on the market.
How 5GAA is working on the future of V2X communication
Video interview by TelecomTV.
Our CTO Maxime Flament discusses the organisation’s technical work in advancing 5G standards for the automotive sector. He highlights the current applications of 5G in vehicles, including telematics and safety features, and envisions a future with enhanced automation and reliability. Flament also explains the complementary approaches of network-based vehicle-to-everything (V2X) and the emerging 5G-V2X Direct specifications, and how the 5GAA is facilitating the collaboration between the telecom and automotive industries to integrate and harmonise these solutions to enable safer and smarter transportation.

Online Session – Enhancing Public Trust: Misbehaviour Detection and Remediation in V2X Networks
The 5G Automotive Association is pleased to invite you to our online session, “Enhancing Public Trust: Misbehaviour Detection and Remediation in V2X Networks“.
Misbehaviour detection in connected vehicles refers to the identification of transmitted data which is either wilfully or inadvertently incorrect within the V2X network. 5GAA previously hosted an online session on the intricacies of the Misbehaviour Management System. This upcoming session explores the most recent work done on the operational aspects of misbehaviour detection, specifically the remediation options that will better protect the public and their confidence in V2X.

5GAA leverages today’s and tomorrow’s mobility solutions
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), roughly 1.25 million road traffic fatalities worldwide in 2013, with another 20–50 million injured or disabled through traffic accidents. Vehicles sharing information make transportation safer, greener, and more enjoyable are at our doorstep. The technologies associated with this concept are collectively known as Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITS). The impact on road safety alone is sufficiently significant to make C-ITS a priority.

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.
