The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) will host a technology demonstration event in Berlin on 24 October, showcasing the potential of Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) technology to redefine mobility across Europe. The event will take place with 5GAA members, leaders from the automotive, telecommunications and technology sectors; it will feature over 10 indoor and outdoor demonstrations that address both critical safety and advanced applications.

C-V2X leverages cellular networks to connect vehicles with each other, infrastructure, and pedestrians, aiming to enhance safety and convenience on the roads. This technology has gained momentum globally, with favourable legislative frameworks in Europe, the U.S. and beyond, and commitment from automakers. This signifies a robust ecosystem that is ready to leverage a huge amount of already existing connected vehicles and deploying further C-V2X solutions at scale.

In countries like Germany, traffic accidents remain a significant concern, with the country alone recording 2.5 million incidents in 2023 and pedestrian safety a growing issue. It is also estimated that up to 40% of traffic in German urban centres stems from drivers searching for parking. C-V2X is positioned to address these challenges.

The Berlin demo event will build upon the 5GAA demonstrations held last year in Detroit, which revolved around vulnerable road user protection. This year, the focus will shift to showcasing similar and new use cases in a European environment, utilising existing European mobile infrastructure.

The event will be preceded by the 5GAA conference titled “Scaling Up Connected Mobility: What’s Next for Germany and Europe?” This combined event offers a unique platform for attendees to engage with industry leaders and stakeholders.

Uncrewed ground robots (UGRs), such as delivery bots and road maintenance machines, are rapidly being tested and deployed worldwide. These robots operate autonomously on roads and sidewalks, performing tasks like deliveries and road cleaning. Countries such as the U.S., Korea, and Japan are already establishing regulations to integrate UGRs safely into public spaces.

While UGRs are becoming more common, their interaction with current intelligent transportation systems (ITS) is still evolving. Most ITS standards focus on vehicles carrying people, so UGRs, which introduce new safety and visibility challenges, have not been fully addressed.

Many UGRs will connect via 4G/5G networks for fleet management, but questions remain about how autonomous or remotely controlled they will be. Integrating UGRs into C-V2X (Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything) communication could enhance safety by improving interaction with other vehicles, pedestrians, and infrastructure, paving the way for safer and more efficient roads.

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.

The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) has published a landmark technical report outlining a clear vision for integrating Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) as a complementary layer to Terrestrial Networks (TN), enhancing coverage and services for connected vehicles.

The report presents a comprehensive roadmap for NTN deployment, identifying key phases for narrowband, wideband, and broadband data rates. It also proposes specific antenna parameters for automotive NTN user equipment, optimising performance and cost-effectiveness. Key recommendations from the report include alignment with global mobile standards, deployment of Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellations, and focus on optimising user terminal parameters and costs.

By integrating NTN connectivity, the automotive and telecommunications industries can work together to realise the vision of space-connected vehicles on our roads.

On 11 September, the 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) will host its workshop ‘Gearing Towards Advanced V2X Use Cases: the impact of ETSI Release 2 standards’ at the ETSI C-V2X Plugtests hosted by DEKRA with the support of the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association.

During this half-day workshop, 5GAA aims to convene key players in the C-V2X ecosystem. The workshop will feature presentations and discussions on the impact of ETSI Release 2 standards, offering insights into the future of C-V2X for the automotive industry. The technical agenda will highlight advancements in 5G-V2X Direct, ETSI Release 2 messages, and security.

With five presentations followed by an open discussion, ecosystem stakeholders will have the opportunity to discuss the impact of ETSI Release 2 standards – including Collective Perception Services (CPS) and Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs).
