The 5GAA work item BRIDGE aims to determine how Communications Service Providers (CSPs) can support the C-ITS/V2X expectation of Road Operators in the near future to encourage and accelerate the deployment of C-ITS use cases on the road.

Following on from a series of discussions with European Road Operator strategists, a set of four exemplary C-ITS use cases was identified with a view to understanding what might be required from CSPs to achieve the above-mentioned objective. Additionally, a set of possible network requirements were defined and short-listed. Modelling showed that all of the use cases can be delivered on existing mobile networks today, assuming network coverage is sufficient for Road Operator requirements.

The ITS World Congress is held in Europe in the years where there is no ITS European Congress.
The Congresses provides the ideal opportunity for all stakeholders to come together, discuss and make the necessary contacts to move initiatives forward and to develop their business by exhibiting and demonstrating state of the art ITS solutions. The Congresses also showcase the latest ITS achievements from the city and region hosting the Congress, and can help increase awareness of ITS in the Host region itself.

The conference will take place on the occasion of the Transport, Telecommunications and Energy Council (4-5 Dec), and in the context of the substantial and ongoing work that the Commission is involved in around the Europe on the Move package, amongst others.

The programme will include Mr Hololei, Director-General for Transport and Mobility, European Commission and Mr Hartog (Head of Unit for Smart Mobility and Living, DG CONNECT).

The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) will again join the ITS World Congress, the global flagship event for intelligent transportation systems, taking place in Los Angeles from September 18 to 22. This occasion will bring together policymakers, researchers, and industry representatives from all over the world to explore this year’s central theme, “Transformation by Transportation”. 

The ITS World Congress is coming back to the United States and gathering the entire mobility ecosystem to provide all attendees with an exciting opportunity to discover, connect, and learn. The 5G Automotive Association is pleased to join; to that end, the team has curated a comprehensive programme for the kick-off day – Monday, September 19. 5GAA’s initiatives are set to bring journalists, industry members, public authorities and road operators closer to the association’s work and the latest advances of our members in C-V2X technologies. 

5GAA’s plans at the ITSWC include:  

• Showcasing our latest developments at the 5GAA booth, #419, in the main Exhibit Hall 
• Scheduling 1-to-1 meetings with our experts to discuss industry progress, innovation developments and members’ technology advances 
• Guided tours for media, industry, and government officials

5GAA Speaking Session at ITSWC2022 

The “Connected Driving: C-V2X on the Road” conference will also take place on September 19 from 1 to 3 PM (PDT) at the Education Hall, featuring two panel discussions with top-level guests: 

1. C-V2X for Safety Services 

Today’s C-V2X safety services, such as traffic signal pre-emption and road hazard information, save lives. Our panel will cover the importance of the 30 MHz allocation in the U.S. for current usage, but also the need to secure 40 MHz additional spectrum for advanced V2X safety services.

2. Mobility Benefits

V2X deployment is advancing globally, enabling the creation of unprecedented information to aid Traffic Management and Operations. The emergence of C-V2X supports widespread deployment of mobility services, and represents a win-win for traffic operations, industry, and, most importantly, people/
