Taking place across 24, 25 & 27 May, the Asia Pacific Spectrum Management Conference will provide an online platform for stakeholders to come together and discuss topical issues relating to the management and coordination of spectrum policy across the region.

During the 3 days attendees will have the opportunity to get involved and engage through interactive sessions, one-to-one and group networking, technology demonstrations, a virtual exhibition area and much more.

Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) create a complex, dynamic network, where the safety and behaviour of each ‘node’ or vehicle directly affects the efficiency and safety of the entire system. These systems are vulnerable to untrustworthy actors for various reasons. Therefore, a method to assess and quantify the trustworthiness of shared data is necessary. This will establish trust between cooperating nodes, enabling them to work in collaboration.

This 5GAA white paper proposes a framework for trust assessment within CAVs. By first defining key terms related to trust and trustworthiness, it establishes a foundation for building trust between these vehicles. It then creates a taxonomy for classifying different trust relationships.

Furthermore, the paper details a list of trustworthiness properties crucial for Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) and CAVs. These properties serve as the foundation for real-time trust assessments. The paper emphasises the importance of verifiable evidence supporting these assessments, even when dealing with inherent uncertainties within the evidence itself.

Stellantis is a leading global automaker and mobility provider that offers clean, connected, affordable and safe mobility solutions.

The rise of connected vehicles and vehicle-to-vehicle communication necessitates a unified measurement procedure for their communication antennas. This would streamline development and ensure consistent conformity assessments across regions.

The 5GAA alliance, fostering collaboration between the automotive and telecom sectors, has developed a methodology specifically for testing vehicular communication antennas (those permanently mounted on vehicles). This methodology can act as a commonly agreed test procedure for antenna communication subsystems, improving the accuracy of conformity assurance procedures for these critical systems.

In essence, this methodology serves as a tool to optimise antenna testing and provide validation measures that account for the unique form factors and characteristics of each vehicle.

Cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) technology is a game-changer for automotive and transportation safety and services, helping to make mobility smarter, safer and more sustainable for all road users, including pedestrians.

C-V2X relies on both mobile and direct communications to enable seamless communication between vehicles, road infrastructure, and other road users, unlocking a wide range of life-saving, fuel-saving and time-saving applications. From real-time collision warnings and lane merge assistance to enhanced traffic management, pedestrian safety and automated valet parking, the C-V2X use cases shown in the video demonstrate the transformative power of connected vehicles and road infrastructure. Whether navigating urban environments or cruising along highways or country roads, C-V2X empowers smarter, safer, and more efficient journeys.

Vehicle manufacturers and road and traffic infrastructure managers are already investing in the tech that is turning these visions into reality world-wide.

Uniting the automotive, technology and communications industries in common cause, the 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) is helping to drive the development and deployment of C-V2X technology as it evolves.

U-blox creates wireless semiconductors and modules for consumer, automotive and industrial markets.

5GAA’s Meeting is taking place virtually from 26 July – August 2 2021.

 

The 5GAA is proud to present the first-of-its-kind update to our comprehensive overview of cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) devices! Since our initial report in 2021, the C-V2X landscape has continued to evolve rapidly. This new edition reflects this progress, providing a fresh look at the devices currently available on the market or nearing release. This information is especially valuable for those in the transportation industry, infrastructure development, and road safety initiatives.

The report, compiled through extensive research of publicly available information, provides a clear picture of the evolving C-V2X device landscape. It highlights various types of available devices and those on the horizon. Please note that, in its current from, the document excludes factory-installed telematics/V2X boxes directly contracted by automakers.
