Malaga, 20 October 2022 – C-V2X technology revolutionizes the mobility ecosystem and how drivers interact with the world, making smart cars a reality today. These cars communicate with their surrounding infrastructure, be it other cars or vulnerable road users, while providing a better driving experience. 5GAA is at the forefront of redefining transportation, by providing real-time, reliable, and actionable information flows to enable safety, mobility, and environmental applications.

Sixteen 5GAA members gathered in Malaga on October 20 to showcase ready-to-deploy C-V2X technology and what the future has in store for the industry and vulnerable road user protection. Prominent members and partners of the 5GAA including 5GCroCo, Anritsu, Autotalks, Commsignia, Continental, Deutsche Telekom, Ericsson, Huawei, Intel, Keysight, Molex, Nokia, Rohde & Schwarz, Stellantis, Vodafone and Omniair demonstrated the current state of C-V2X and a wide range of applications for VRU (Vulnerable Road Users) protection, through a range of indoor and outdoor demos. The over 200 attendees included road operators, journalists from national and international media, and 5GAA delegates.

“C-V2X continues to drive the automotive transformation – and is now the new reality,” says 5GAA Chairman, Christoph Voigt. “Our key asset, the C-V2X technology, became an important part of the worldwide V2X ecosystem. The live demonstrations we have seen here, in Malaga, show us repeatedly that C-V2X is ready for a future where we can use our current infrastructure to improve protection for vulnerable road users.”

Using both direct and mobile network communications, the open-road demonstrations displayed the extensive capabilities of today’s C-V2X technology. To name a few:

• Protecting vulnerable road users and increasing the safety of cyclists on the road by alerting them of a collision
• Enabling smart intersections to enhance VRU safety by sending awareness messages to C-V2X-enabled cyclists
• Warning road users of traffic incidents between connected vehicles

The demonstrations were held at the DEKRA Test Track, a private field-testing area dedicated to connected & automated driving in Málaga, Spain. The test track reproduces multiple traffic situations using different V2X communications systems and networks, as well as traffic elements like traffic signs, traffic lights, road cones, pedestrians’ simulators that allow setting up various test cases. Located in a restricted area of 51.000 m2 (about twice the area of a parking space) with roundabouts, straight and curved roads, intersections, traffic lights and signalling, this connected & automated driving test track is a state-of-the-art facility that researches, develops, tests, and certifies the mobility of the future.

Together with our members, 5GAA has embraced digital transformation and is creating opportunities for transportation innovation. Its goal is to develop end-to-end solutions for future mobility that improve traffic efficiency, driving comfort and road safety to ensure a secure and sustainable transportation ecosystem.

Every year at the Mobile World Congress, the mobile ecosystem and related industries such as the automotive one meet to discuss and reveal the latest innovation and technology advances in the field. This year, 5GAA takes a bigger involvement in the event and will present a unique session reflecting on the elemental role the C-V2X technology and its evolution towards 5G will play in the future of mobility.

5GAA Session |connected and safer future: From C-V2X to #5Gmobility
Tuesday 27 February
Hall 8.0 NEXTech Theatre B

Does the advancement in cellular technologies hold the potential for vehicular safety and efficiency?
Join us for an exclusive half-day event and hear from leaders from the automotive, technology and telecommunications companies as they share their views on how mobile technologies will transform our transportation of tomorrow. Speakers from AUDI AG, BMW Group, Ericsson, Huawei, Intel, Nokia, Qualcomm and more will debate – during a series of exciting panel discussions – on the revolution – the C-V2X technology and its evolutionary path towards 5G will bring to our future mobility ecosystem.

The Predictive QoS and V2X Service Adaptation (PRESA) Work Item (WI) and this Technical Report (TR) enhance the framework for the analysis of the potential adaptations of V2X applications and V2X services when a QoS change (e.g. data rate degradation, reliability degradation, latency increase) is predicted and such information is provided to the application. The scope of this TR is to investigate the application and system reactions/adaptations, based on predicted changes of QoS. The methodology for the analysis of V2X use cases that use predictive QoS information is introduced in order to investigate various aspects, such as identifying interactions, QoS parameters of interest for prediction (e.g. downlink minimum data rate) for various use cases, related QoS prediction time horizons, thresholds for triggering prediction notification, etc.

The automotive industry faces massive disruption from advances in autonomy and connectivity as well as the shift towards electric vehicles. Emerging technologies combined with changing customer preferences could reshape the whole market. Taking place in Detroit, the seat of the US car industry, the FT Future of the Car Summit USA will throw light on the new strategies and partnerships turning the forces of disruption into engines for growth.

5GAA will participate in the programme for this conference. To apply as a 5GAA speaker, please contact marcom@5gaa.org

This position paper outlines 5GAA’s core priorities in the field of space-based connectivity and industry requirements for the European Communication Satellite Constellation. We are motivated to highlight the important role that NTNs play in the development of both the automotive and telecommunications industries, and the wider deployment of connected and intelligent vehicles.

5GAA is pleased to present a C-V2X Workshop for North American transportation planning and road operations communities (State DOTs, MPOs, and local agencies).
This workshop is intended to jumpstart a dialog between technology providers, cellular network operators and the transportation community on the capabilities, timeline and the potential role of cellular technologies to transportation systems management and operations (TSMO).
During the workshop, questions from stakeholders and technology providers alike will be asked and answered. In addition to valuable knowledge exchange, a primary output is to define solid next steps to realize the promise of C-V2X on our roads.
