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.

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.

Intersection Safety via Infrastructure Sensor-Sharing

Intersection Safety via Infrastructure Sensor-Sharing

Intersections are a hotspot for traffic fatalities and injuries globally, with nearly a quarter of U.S. traffic fatalities and half of all injuries occurring in these high-risk areas. To address this, the 5GAA has developed a technical report on the ‘InterSafe Service,’ an approach leveraging infrastructure sensor-sharing to increase intersection safety for all road users, especially Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs) like pedestrians and cyclists.

This report explores key use cases, system requirements, and deployment options for integrating Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication technologies with infrastructure sensors. It outlines a framework for developing interoperable, standardised solutions that can operate efficiently within existing Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) spectrums. Crucially, the service is designed to deliver safety benefits even during the early stages of V2X adoption, when only a fraction of vehicles are equipped with these technologies.

The document also provides recommendations for global standards organisations, such as SAE International and ETSI, to expedite the development of system-level profiles. By fostering collaboration across stakeholders, the InterSafe Service has the potential to significantly reduce intersection-related incidents and accelerate the adoption of life-saving technologies worldwide.
