The 5G Automotive Association recently unveiled the revised version of its 2030 roadmap, first published two years ago. To present the key findings and main takeaways of this release, the association is organising a webinar on the “5GAA C-V2X Roadmap II: Update of 2030 industry vision for Advanced Driving Use Cases, Connectivity Technologies, and Radio Spectrum Needs”, taking place on December 15. 

The connected and smart mobility landscape has significantly changed since the 5G Automotive Association published its first 2030 roadmap two years ago. Since then, the C-ITS ecosystem has witnessed a rapid evolution and global deployment of basic safety services, use cases addressing traffic efficiency and VRU protection, and increasing market availability of C-V2X and 5G-V2X-based services and devices.  

Over this period, 5GAA has been closely looking at advanced safety and automated driving applications, and the technology readiness to turn them into a market reality. An exhaustive analysis of the regional, regulatory and technological contexts, including state-of-the-art for standardization activities, has resulted in the publication of the 5GAA C-V2X Roadmap II White Paper.  

To share this document’s main findings and highlights with the 5GAA community, the association will host a webinar on Thursday, December 15, from 2:30 to 3:30 PM (CET). Chief Technology Officer, Maxime Flament, will unveil 5GAA’s vision of the future and expected timeline for C-V2X mass deployment on the 2030 horizon, with a particular focus on advanced applications bringing on automated driving, teleoperation, automated valet parking, and sensor sharing. 5GAA’s leading contributors to the paper, Andreas Schaller (Bosch), Georg Schmitt (BMW) and Alin Stanescu (Volkswagen), will join Maxime for the Q&A session and shed light on the outcome of this Work Item.  

All 5GAA delegates are welcome to join the session and contribute to a fruitful discussion on the association’s foresight and how upcoming developments will contribute to global safety, mobility, environmental stewardship and transportation equity goals.

The workshop, open to both 5GAA- and non-5GAA members, aims to provide a discussion platform on the evolution of cloud computing in the automotive sector.

• It presents an opportunity for automotive players to provide customers’ voice on future connected vehicles and automotive applications enabled by distributed cloud.
• It strives to connect different stakeholders from car OEMs and network operators to edge computing technology vendors.
• It will facilitate active dialogue and encourage further collaboration.

The article below and the linked document refer to an older version of the 5GAA roadmap, whose most updated version you can find here. 

Since the publication of the initial 5GAA roadmap in 2020, we have seen a growing deployment of connected safety services targeting traffic efficiency and safety. Over the past few years, revolutionary digital transformations have begun addressing some challenging mobility problems.

This new white paper synthesises a 5GAA vision of the future and develops the association’s forward-looking C-V2X roadmap in its latest version. It focuses on advanced driving use cases which pave the way to automated driving, teleoperation, automated valet parking, and sensor sharing – all of which contribute to global safety, mobility, environmental stewardship and transportation equity goals.

In the connected future of transportation, there will be an ever-growing set of cooperative Use Cases that need to be enabled in a standardised fashion. As the implementation of these Day 2+ Use Cases is different from the so far existing Use Cases, new information exchanges other than the currently existing beacon message structures will be required. To determine similarities and common mechanisms for this group of Use Cases, a definition was undertaken to provide a guideline in the field of such new Use Cases.

The term Complex Interaction was selected to describe Use Cases that require an exchange of sequential information with a minimum of three consecutive exchanges. If unique protocols and messages are to be developed for each individual Use Case, the amount of technical complexity would soon become unmanageable. Thus, it is vital to have a scalable framework for these Complex Interactions that covers common technical enablers.

Since so far no general requirements, descriptions and repeated behaviours have been identified for such Complex Interactions, the work introduced here presents an evaluation and representation of requirements which have been determined and developed during the analysis.

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.
