5GAA to Host Live C-V2X Demonstrations and a Symposium for Members in Málaga, Spain
On October 20th, 2022, the 5G Automotive Association will meet with members in Málaga for a symposium on “5GAA’s achievements and the C-V2X ecosystem”, followed by more than 15 C-V2X live demonstrations taking place at the DEKRA facilities.
Between October 17 and 20, the 5G Automotive Association will travel to Malaga, Spain, for an internal meeting week. On Thursday, October 20, DEKRA will welcome 5GAA at its testing centre in Parque Tecnológico de Andalucía, where they will host a members’ symposium and several live demonstrations.
The symposium will bring members together with EU road traffic authorities, operators and other ecosystem stakeholders. The programme includes a presentation and exchange around the new C-V2X 2030 Roadmap and a sample of essential 5GAA Work Items completed over the past year. For the closing remarks, the association is honoured to welcome H.E. Mr. Roberto Sánchez, Spain’s Secretary of State for Telecommunications and Digital Infrastructures. The road operators will then be invited to join a round table hosted by 5GAA Board representatives.
In the afternoon, attendees can witness the demonstrations organised by 5GAA, showcasing some of the latest developments for 5G and C-V2X technologies. This unique experience will feature 16 live indoor and outdoor demos, proving that 5GAA members do not cease to innovate and deliver cutting-edge solutions for connected and automated mobility. The list of confirmed participants includes, amongst others, Autotalks, Huawei, Continental, Deutsche Telekom, Keysight, Molex and Anritsu.

Federal Funding Opportunity for Wireless Technology: Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Grant Program
Through September 15, 2022, a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) from the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) will be open for Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grants in FY22. It’s an opportunity for companies to apply for a part of $1 billion per year in FY22-26 grants to prevent roadway deaths and serious injuries.
The timing is fortuitous. Newly released traffic crash estimates from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) show that traffic fatality rates in 2021 are the highest since 2005. NHTSA projects a final tally of 42,915 lives lost during 2021 in traffic crashes nationwide.
Making transportation safer and more equitable
To support its goals, the SS4A program funds activities that will help lower fatalities on U.S. roads and highways. The program is also an opportunity to fund regional, local and Tribal initiatives aimed at making transportation equitable for all road users.
Equity is an important element in underserved communities, which are disproportionately affected by fatalities among vulnerable road users (VRUs). These users include pedestrians, cyclists and the growing number people using micro-mobility options such as e-bikes and scooters.
Underserved communities also have higher vehicular traffic volumes, trucking routes and major arterial roads. They are characterized by intersections that are unsafe or impassable by foot or bike, and an overall lower level and quality of walking and cycling infrastructure. NHTSA’s projections for 2021 show alarming increases in fatalities for pedestrians (13 percent), motorcyclists (9 percent) and bicyclists (5 percent), making the SS4A funding opportunity even more fortuitous for VRUs.
Applying C-V2X technology to prevent road fatalities
Many roadway deaths are preventable. Cellular-vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) is a wireless technology that allows vehicles to communicate directly with each other (V2V), with roadside infrastructure (V2I) and potentially with pedestrians (V2P). C-V2X supports information sharing to facilitate applications that enhance safety for all road users.
NHTSA believes that safety applications supported by V2V and V2I could eliminate or mitigate the severity of up to 80 percent of non-impaired crashes. Also, connected vehicle technology is on the National Transportation Safety Board’s Most Wanted List of transportation safety improvements.
The following use cases illustrate the immediate impact of safety applications that use C-V2X technology:
- Red-light violation warning (RLVW)
More than half of all fatal and injury crashes happen at intersections (source). The most common cause of all urban crashes, drivers running red lights result in an average of seven fatalities and more than 1,000 injuries per day at signalized intersections across the country (source).
- Intersection movement assist (IMA)
Similar to RLVW, IMA safety applications can alert other drivers when someone is running a red light so they can take action to stop before entering the intersection. - Spot weather warnings
Inclement weather, which can result in road hazards such as icy patches on highways, are not easily detected by LIDAR sensors. Infrastructure-to-vehicle (I2V) applications can send a warning to approaching vehicles, reducing the potential for sharp drops in speed that can result in road incidents. - Traffic signal pre-emption
Aimed at shortening emergency response times to help save lives, this use case allows vehicles like ambulances and fire trucks to remotely trigger a green light. Related V2V applications share this information with nearby vehicles so drivers can take action to move out of the way, reducing congestion along the route to improve safety for first responders and road users alike. - School zone safety
C-V2X alerts drivers when they are entering an active school zone and notifies them of the reduced speed limit. Future applications might include automatically slowing vehicles as they approach an active school zone.
See more use cases below.
What you can’t see can hurt you, and C-V2X plays a critical safety role because it allows the vehicle to see more than the driver can see. Regular sensors keep vehicles safe in immediate surroundings; C-V2X provides more robust signaling to help vehicles see around blind corners and many other types of obstructions. It connects vehicles and roadside infrastructure that are not in each other’s line of sight and allows them to share information about traffic conditions.
How C-V2X fits with SS4A
SS4A accepts both Action Plan Grants and Implementation Grants, with the latter drawing upon the foundation of the former. The program calls out four selection criteria:
- Safety impact
- Equity, engagement, collaboration
- Effective practices and strategies
- Climate and sustainability, and economic competitiveness
Two notable considerations are project readiness and funds to underserved communities.
USDOT lists several sample activities for Implementation Grants that align closely with C-V2X, including these:
- Deploying advanced transportation technologies, such as the installation of connected intersection-based safety solutions and vehicle-to-infrastructure advisory speed limit systems (e.g., intelligent speed assistance — see above)
- Evaluating and improving the safety of intersections by considering innovative design changes, improved delineation, and advanced warning
- Creating safe routes to school and public transit services through multiple activities that lead to people safely walking and biking in underserved communities.
- Promoting the adoption of innovative technologies or strategies for the safety and protection of VRUs in high-traffic areas where commercial motor vehicles (CMVs), pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists interact.
Next steps
As part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, SS4A is a discretionary program with $5 billion in appropriated funds over the next 5 years. A related opportunity opening up in late 2022 is the $500 million Strengthening Mobility and Revolutionizing Transportation (SMART) Grants from USDOT. Both SS4A and SMART provide a path to federal funding to build novel uses of C-V2X and 5G technologies into the nation’s infrastructure. To provide more visibility for industry stakeholders, USDOT has published a full list of funding opportunities with anticipated dates for 2022.
Applications built around C-V2X can help make intersections safer and reduce fatalities due to speeding in the use cases shown above, as well as in these:
- At-grade rail crossings — alerting emergency vehicles that a rail crossing is closed, enabling early rerouting and avoiding delays in life-saving calls
- Pedestrian crossings — detecting when a VRU is in the crosswalk ahead and warning approaching drivers to proceed with caution
- Incident clearance and response — sending alerts to drivers as they approach an emergency vehicle stopped in or along the roadway ahead, thereby helping to prevent secondary crashes
- Wrong-way driving — detecting drivers who go the wrong way on on-ramps and highways, then alerting the driver, nearby drivers, and law enforcement
These applications can also help make transportation equitable in underserved communities, fulfilling another important goal of SS4A.
