OTS - 5G Automotive Association Discusses the Acceleration of 5G Deployment on European Roads at MCW Barcelona 2021
2021. June 28. 17:01
Barcelona, 28 June, 2021 (APA/OTS) - The 5G Automotive Association
(5GAA) - with the engagement of EU representatives and stakeholders
of the C-2VX ecosystem - has discussed the latest developments,
opportunities, and challenges presented by connected mobility and
5G-V2X technology at the Mobile World Congress Barcelona 2021. -
The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) presented the latest global
deployments of 'Cellular Vehicle to everything' (C-2VX) and 5G
technologies at GSMA's Mobile World Congress Barcelona 2021. The
conference offered an overview on the broad-scale improvements that
connected mobility can bring to the global automotive system,
highlighting the benefits the technology brings in Europe and
beyond.
The association disclosed the last global updates of 5G-V2X
technology which will enable real-time connection between vehicles
and their surroundings - starting today with LTE-V2X technology.
5G-powered vehicles are expected to hit the European market this
year, as 5GAA members are leading C-V2X deployment through network
based, direct communications on the continent. Technological
progress supports more advanced use cases and the combination of
long-range and short-range connectivity will grant the optimal
setup for safety and efficiency of traffic.
"In the next two to three years, our association expects to see
mass deployment of vehicle-to everything (V2X) use cases geared
towards improving traffic efficiency and road safety around the
world", said 5GAA Director-General Johannes Springer. From 2024
onwards, 5GAA further anticipates the large-scale introduction of
advanced safety and automated driving use cases supported by C-V2X.
5GAA supports the ecosystem by identifying these required use cases
and services which are expected to be enabled by 5G-V2X in the
coming decade. This enables European stakeholders to engage and
collaborate in order to scale up V2X services and deliver societal
benefits.
5GAA also underlined the strong need for a harmonised
regulatory approach that will stimulate innovative business models
and grant European competitiveness. The association favours a
technology-neutral regulatory framework that will be focused on
service delivery and will foster market-led innovation. Only an
enabling and future-proof regulatory environment, conducive to
C-V2X rapid deployment by OEMs and road authorities, will improve
road safety and reach climate-neutrality.
The association highlighted 5G-powered vehicles are already
commercialized in China. However, there are some relevant
improvements in C-V2X implementation and 5G accessibility on roads
in Europe. Many cities and road operators are starting to offer
internet interfaces with real-time traffic information such as red
light space, slippery roads and even wrong-way-drivers warning.
For one, Dieter Hötzer - Vice President Automated Driving
Systems at Bosch - illustrated the Wrong Way Driver Solution
developed by the 5GAA member company, as a clear example of
technology that greatly impacts road safety. The software needs a
GPS signal transferred to a cloud system that alerts drivers going
the wrong way and warns other vehicles in the danger zone, sending
out almost instant push notifications.
5G provides a revolutionary impact on the automotive system
bringing several benefits and it is the result of a steady
technology evolution. While it improves traffic efficiency
minimising travel times and traffic jams, it also increases road
safety by reducing road fatalities.
"Ensuring rapid and efficient deployment of 5G along broad
networks is critically important to the future of mobility and will
result in numerous safety benefits" concluded Springer.
