Vehicle-to-Network-to-Everything (V2N2X) Communications: Architecture, Solution Blueprint, and Use Case Implementation Examples

Vehicle-to-Network-to-Everything (V2N2X) Communications: Architecture, Solution Blueprint, and Use Case Implementation Examples

This technical report builds on the 5GAA white paper “Road traffic operation in a digital age” and guides stakeholders on implementing various vehicle-to-everything (V2X) applications using cellular networks and information sharing structures between backend systems.

It presents an application-level reference blueprint architecture and introduces an “information sharing domain” to enable scalable digital data exchange among stakeholders such as vehicle manufacturers, service providers, and infrastructure operators. The report details how to implement V2X applications that enhance safety and mobility, with examples including traffic event and signal information sharing, emergency vehicle approaching alerts, automated valet parking, and vulnerable road user protection. It also explains different implementation options for these applications within vehicles, distinguishing between OEM-controlled, OEM-supported, and OEM-independent apps.

Additionally, it describes proven solutions and references initial deployments like C-Roads and Talking Traffic, highlighting their effectiveness in accelerating V2X service adoption. Ecosystem stakeholders are encouraged to use this document as a guide for deploying V2X services using cellular networks and information sharing, with the potential to address more demanding use cases through enhanced cellular network capabilities.

Road Traffic Operation in a Digital Age: A Holistic Cross-Stakeholder Approach

Road Traffic Operation in a Digital Age: A Holistic Cross-Stakeholder Approach

The societal ambitions of zero fatalities and climate neutrality in road transportation, as well as future ambitions of automated driving require a new approach to the handling of road traffic information. The key stakeholders of the ecosystem, global automotive OEMs, service providers (SPs) and infrastructure owner-operators (IOOs), need new digital methods of operating and interworking.

This white paper proposes a transformative approach for automotive stakeholders, emphasizing scalable digital data exchange and a federated architecture to manage road traffic information efficiently. The architecture ensures bidirectional communication, delivering static, semi-static, and near real-time data for safe and efficient transportation. The paper concludes with recommendations for a National Roadway Digital Strategy, federated information-sharing structures, and aligned investments. Emphasising the integration of technologies and data-driven decision-making, it aligns with 5GAA’s mission to propel road traffic operations into the digital age.

Berlin real-world use cases demonstrate game-changing C-V2X technology

Berlin real-world use cases demonstrate game-changing C-V2X technology

On 25 October 2024 , the 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) demonstrated the latest innovations in the Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) technology family to help achieve “Vision Zero” for all road users. The demonstrations illustrated the potential of 5G-V2X to enable new use cases integrated across multiple automakers, service providers, and mobile network operators.

For the very first time, 5GAA demonstrated 5G-V2X Direct technology integration in Audi and BMW vehicles with the support of 5GAA members Autotalks, Bosch, Commsignia, and Fraunhofer FOKUS. This demonstration illustrated how technology can alert drivers about pedestrians and cyclists even before they can see them, leveraging sensors and a camera feed from other vehicles. The demonstrations showed the high bandwidth and low latency performance characteristics of 5G-V2X Direct using ETSI Release 2 messages.

5GAA members Bosch, Commsignia, Deutsche Telekom, Ericsson, Keysight Technologies, LG Electronics, Mercedes-Benz and Vodafone, and the Coalition for Cyclist Safety, showcased ready-to-deploy, interoperable applications to increase awareness of vulnerable road users and emergency vehicles on public roads in central Berlin. Safety awareness alerts were delivered via 4G and 5G networks with low latency thanks to Multi-Access-Edge Computing and precise positioning, as verified by Anritsu’s performance measurements. ETSI-standardised messages were shared in real time between apps from various service providers.

In Germany and across Europe, the ecosystem is ready to leverage the tens of millions of vehicles already connected via mobile networks and is now geared for the 2nd generation technology with 5G-V2X including direct communications,” said 5GAA Chairman Christoph Voigt.

Autotalks and Bosch, together with Commsignia, demonstrated the benefits of collective perception related to vulnerable road users. Ettifos, Keysight Technologies, Rohde & Schwarz and SEA Datentechnik also exhibited 5G-V2X Direct interoperability and conformity solutions and radio performance verification.

To show that C-V2X is about both safety and efficiency, Audi, supported by Commsignia and Autotalks, demonstrated a use case for “cooperative parking” based on 5G-V2X Direct.

In line with 5GAA’s Visionary 2030 Roadmap, 5G is continuously being deployed in many car models and 5G-V2X Direct is expected to be mass-deployed in commercial vehicle models as early as 2026. This week’s event underlined the continuous commitment of major European automakers to 5G-V2X following 5GAA’s Open Statement[1] in 2023.
