OTS - Independent study finds that the socio-economic benefits of cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) could amount to 43 billion euros by 2035
2017. December 06. 09:05
Brussels, 6 December, 2017 (APA/OTS) - The 5GAA today published a
report, authored by independent telecoms, media and technology
consultants Analysys Mason together with automotive consultancy SBD
Automotive, which assesses the benefits of cellular vehicle to
everything (C V2X) technology for delivery of vehicle-to-everything
(V2X) communication. The report, which has a focus on the benefits
of such solutions in Europe, uses qualitative evidence, and
describes quantitative cost-benefit analysis that the consultants
have undertaken, relating to deployment of C V2X.
The publication of the report coincides with policy development
on V2X, and use of the 5.9GHz band, in the European Union, where
the European Commission is currently undertaking a public
consultation on deployment of cooperative intelligent transport
systems (C ITS).
The study concludes that the deployment of C-ITS systems is
beneficial at the European Union level. Net benefits that could be
accrued in Europe are estimated to be in the range of EUR20 billion
to EUR43 billion in 2035 (with the highest benefits coming from
increased road safety, and traffic efficiency), across the four
scenarios modelled.
The most favourable scenario of those modelled in the study
(amounting to EUR 43 billion net benefits) is where the potential
for rapid penetration and economies of scale for C-V2X is maximised
and both C-V2X and the Wi-Fi Standard IEEE 802.11p are able to
co-exist in the 5.9GHz spectrum band. Such benefits do not arise
in a scenario where the use of IEEE 802.11p is mandated for C-ITS
services, which would result in less than half these expected net
benefits (EUR 20 billion).
The study also indicates benefits of C-V2X for the European
market lie in its deployment flexibility, with the ability to
provide coverage for both short range and wide area applications,
and certainty of future evolution to 5G, potentially facilitating
earlier deployment as well as after-market deployment (e.g. V2X
services provided in vehicles via a smartphone or other
after-market device with C-V2X connectivity).
Reduced infrastructure deployment costs are a further key
benefit of C-V2X, from the potential to re-use existing mobile
infrastructure, and thus leveraging cellular technology integration
and economies of scale, rather than building independently operated
roadside infrastructure.
Christoph Voigt, 5GAA Chairman comments: "C-V2X will be
fundamental to the deployment of cooperative intelligent transport
systems. The benefits highlighted is this report indisputably
demonstrate that this technology will lead to major improvements in
driving and road safety. It further highlights that the European
Commission should take a technology neutral approach and not limit
these benefits by mandating the use of the Wi-Fi standard IEEE
802.11p"

Separately, the 5GAA has also today published a study which
carries out a quantitative analysis of LTE-V2X (PC-5) and IEEE
802.11p technologies for short-range ad hoc/direct communications
in reducing fatalities and serious injuries caused by motoring
accidents in the EU. The modelling underlying this report was
peer-reviewed and validated by the technology and policy
consultancy, Ricardo. The study find that LTE-V2X (PC5) outperforms
802.11p in reducing fatalities and serious injuries on the EU's
roads. The 5GAA's study on an assessment of LTE-V2X (PC5) and
802.11p direct communications technologies for improved road safety
in the EU can be found via

About C-V2X
V2X allows vehicles to communicate with each other and the
wider transport ecosystem. It will potentially complement on-board
sensors by providing enhanced information (such as data from other
vehicles) over a longer range.
C V2X is a technology developed by the Third Generation
Partnership Project (3GPP) to deliver V2X services, using two modes
of communication:
- a direct vehicle-to-vehicle mode (called 'PC5' in 3GPP
specifications) and
- a network communications interface (called 'Uu' in 3GPP
specifications) for vehicle-to-network (V2N) communication via
existing mobile networks.
About the 5GAA
The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) is a global cross-industry
organisation of companies from the automotive, technology and
telecommunications industries (ICT), working together to develop
end-to-end solutions for future mobility and transportation
services. Created in 2016, the Association is comprised of over 67
members which mission is to develop, test and promote
communications solutions, initiate their standardization and
accelerate their commercial availability and global market
penetration to address societal needs.
