Technical Report: Safety Treatment in Connected and Automated Driving Functions, Phase 2

Technical Report: Safety Treatment in Connected and Automated Driving Functions, Phase 2

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.

Online Session – Enhancing Public Trust: Misbehaviour Detection and Remediation in V2X Networks

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.

Automated Valet Parking Technology Assessment and Use Case Implementation Description

Automated Valet Parking Technology Assessment and Use Case Implementation Description

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.

Celebrating 5 years of digital transformations
and innovative mobility solutions
meeting today’s challenges.

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.

Official Announcement: 5GAA Members and USDOT Partner for Live C-V2X Demonstrations

Official Announcement: 5GAA Members and USDOT Partner for Live C-V2X Demonstrations

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. 

Gearing Towards Advanced V2X Use Cases: the impact of ETSI Release 2 standards

Gearing Towards Advanced V2X Use Cases: the impact of ETSI Release 2 standards

In partnership with 5GAA and with the support of the European Commission and European Free Trade Association, DEKRA is hosting the 4th ETSI C-V2X Plugtests™ event at Parque Tecnológico in Málaga, Spain from 10-13 September.

During the week, ETSI and DEKRA will enable On-Board-Units (OBUs), Roadside-Units (RSUs) and Public Key Infrastructure (PKIs) vendors to run interoperability test sessions to assess the level of interoperability of their implementation and validate the understanding of the standards. This edition of the Plugtests will focus on direct communication between devices using ETSI TC ITS Release 2 standards, including Collective Perception Services (CPS) and Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs).

5GAA will organise a half-day workshop on 11 September to bring together some key players in the C-V2X ecosystem and discuss the impact of ETSI Release 2 standards. The speakers will provide insights on the future of C-V2X for the automotive industries, while the workshop’s technical agenda will demonstrate progress made on 5G-V2X Direct, ETSI Release 2 messages and security.

C-V2X Use Cases and Service Level Requirements (Vols. I, II and III)

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.

Friends of 5GAA

5GAA’s members have created a work-stream dedicated to addressing issues of interest and concern to the Infrastructure Owners-Operators and Road Authorities community.

With multiple engagement platforms and tailored content, US IOOs and the overall road infrastructure operators community can learn more about the superior safety benefits of C-V2X technology and engage with a growing ecosystem of telecom providers, chipset makers, and auto OEMs to identify synergies, opportunities, and potential business models to accelerate and streamline deployment of this life-saving technology.

Membership will allow 5GAA, road operators community to continue the productive conversations initiated e.g. with US IOOs during the C-V2X Workshop for North American Transportation Planning and North American Road Operators in Washington D.C (April 2018), where 5GAA presented a vision for a connected future (here) or European National Road Administrations (NRAs) and road infrastructure operators during a similar C-V2X Workshop and Demonstration in Paris, France (July 2018).
