Detroit, October 23 – A coalition of industry leaders, including the 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) and Crash Avoidance Metrics Partners (CAMP LLC), has released a comprehensive guidance aimed at infrastructure owners and operators for the deployment of Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) technology, specifically focused on C-V2X direct communication at 5.9 GHz in the United States (US). 

The guidance, developed by 5GAA, benefitted from essential input from ITS ecosystem stakeholders and partners, including the Utah Department of Transportation, National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), OmniAir, the Intelligent Transportation Society of America (ITS America), and researchers from the University of Michigan.

The document is a valuable reference for “Day One” C-V2X deployment by gathering established requirements and new considerations, and it provides compatible guidance for several Day 1s, ranging from road infrastructure owner-operators seeking early deployment based on waivers, through Day 1 where automakers deploy. The primary target audience includes road Infrastructure Owners and Operators (IOOs), who are pivotal in taking up C-V2X technology for transportation safety and efficiency. 

The 5GAA guidance report focuses on C-V2X direct communications and streamlines this complex field into commonly understood profiles, simplifying deployment timelines, and ensuring effective communication between vehicles and infrastructure.  

It also provides findings from various guidelines, standards, and deployment projects to offer a straightforward guide for Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) connectivity required for Day One Connected Vehicle (CV) applications. In addition, it includes guidance and a profile on the messages that can be sent.  

The complementary nature of both modes of communication (C-V2X and V2N) can deliver a richer experience for end-to-end use cases by leveraging both local short-range and cloud-based long-range connectivity. 

Key highlights of the report include: 

• Clarifying expectations for a swift V2X roadside unit deployment, providing concise and accessible materials for all participants in safe traffic communications. 

• Identifying a limited but crucial set of messages, interoperability needs, and performance requirements to expedite deployments, ensuring an orderly and safety-critical message set. 
• Providing SAE J3161 communication profiles and parameters, creating a standard set of rules for optimal channel access and message usage. 

The report aims to establish V2X communications that support interoperability and data integrity, delivering the necessary performance for various Day One applications. It also offers insights into potential Day Two messages, preparing the V2X community for the next deployment stage.

This Technical Report and guide originated from a coalition of Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) deployment stakeholders, first recruited from the Crash Avoidance Metrics Partners (CAMP) and the 5G Automotive Association (5GAA). This group rapidly grew to include the Utah Department of Transportation, the National Electrical Manufacturers; infrastructure owners and operators, NEMA, OmniAir, ITS America, and University of Michigan researchers.

The guide aims to provide “Day One” with a simple reference. It focuses mostly on IOOs for roads, reflecting a collective opinion that was initially influenced by the Original Equipment for vehicles, IOOs and their suppliers, traffic equipment makers, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and others who want to usher the safety and efficiency benefits expected from the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS).

This document focuses on V2X solutions using C-V2X direct communications. Read the full report here.

Panel Discussion – Set the automotive industry in motion with 5G and vehicle-to-everything (V2X)

• Discover how 5G will enhance road safety with vehicle-to-vehicle communications whilst adhering to new government requirements

• Identify how 5G will truly enable the autonomous vehicle and the impact it will have on network infrastructure going forward

• Gain real understanding into the shift from vehicle-to-grid to V2X and the resulting opportunities which will arise

• Managing automotive data when everything is connected: where does ownership lie?

 

The present document focuses on the issue of trustworthiness in relation to position information exchanged in the context of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication. In order to start the analysis, this work has been focusing on Day-1 applications to understand the problem in the context of the current standard.

The document provides an overview of the current standards related to positioning, including the integrity of the position and confidence levels, and reviews the definitions and metrics used so far. It then provides an analysis of the gaps in the current/available V2X standard related to the confident use of such positioning information.

The landscape of existing positioning techniques is constantly evolving to promote safe driving. In particular, automotive use cases can be very diverse. New features introduced in wireless standards or new technologies are not necessarily always focused on automotive use cases and would require specific evaluation scenarios.

Moreover, the positioning performance depends on various factors. This technical report aims to identify and evaluate a selection of evolving and emerging technologies for positioning in line with the 5GAA roadmap for automotive use cases.
