Driving the Future
of Connected Mobility Solutions Together

The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) is comprised of the Executive Committee, the Board, the General Assembly, and the Working Groups. Together, the different bodies ensure the successful running and operations of the association.

General Assembly

The General Assembly ensures a diverse Board composition regarding geographic regions and industry sectors.

Board

The 5GAA Board supervises and advises the Executive Committee in all material respects, particularly concerning strategic considerations. The Board is composed of eighteen members, elected by the General Assembly every year, out of which:

– twelve seats are reserved to platinum members (the highest member category);
– six seats are reserved to candidates elected among the gold members.

5GAA Webinar: Comparing DSRC & C-V2X Technology

On 17 October at 5PM (CET) 5GAA sponsored an exclusive webinar on Talking Cars: Field Test Results Comparing DSRC & C-V2X Technology.

According to World Health Organization figures, more than 1.2 million casualties occur globally as a result of traffic incidents. As vehicles add more sensors to improve safety and advance the readiness of automated driving, vehicle-to-everything communications (V2X) are expected to significantly enhance road safety. As a result, global governments and industry (automotive and telecom) are carefully evaluating two different V2X technologies: IEEE 802.11p-based radio DSRC/ITS-G5 and 3GPP-based C-V2X. 802.11p is an older radio technology, based on specifications dating to 1999, and has been researched over the past decade, whereas C-V2X is a newer radio technology benefiting from many advances in communications.

This 5GAA-sponsored webinar will review how each of the technologies performed in an apples-to-apples comparison, executed by Ford and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc in US lab and field testing.

This webinar agenda included:

The reliability, communication range and latency of each V2X technology under the same test conditions
Performance comparison in congested environments
Resiliency of each technology to adverse deployment conditions, including interference

Speakers:

Steve Bell, Senior Analyst, Heavy Reading
Maxime Flament, CTO, 5GAA
Gautam Savarkar, Senior Director, Engineering, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc
Ivan Vukovic, Technical Specialist, Ford Motor Company
