5G PPP – 5G for Connected and Automated Mobility (CAM)

The validation of the latest available 5G specification in the context of innovative CAM applications under realistic conditions and seamlessly functioning across borders. This is realised through cross-border trials along 5G corridors[[See list of available corridors at : https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?qid=1528878837354&uri=CELEX:52018PC0438]] covering significant portions of roads or railways and including the core technological innovation expected from 5G release 16 including positioning services, or beyond. Relevant work takes a broad innovation perspective covering use cases in the vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P), and vehicle-to-network (V2N) domains including the supporting service infrastructure. The work covers the key 5G innovation in support of innovative CAM ecosystems, notably at radio, RAN and core network levels. It also includes supporting innovations in the area of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enable advan

The challenge is to qualify and characterise the latest version of 5G specifications as available from 3G PP release 16 early 2020 (5G NR-V2X and beyond) in the context of advanced use cases deployment in Europe of CAM that may also benefit from Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions. It targets use cases beyond C-ITS safety applications in view of enabling use cases in the context of complete connectivity-enabled ecosystems around cars and vehicles. It supports the realisation of the strategic objective of having all major transport paths covered with 5G connectivity by 2025[[Communication of the Commission ""A 5G Action plan for Europe"", COM(2016) 588]] through cross-border trials along major transport paths planned for CAM deployment (""5G corridors""[[Corridors as referred to in the ""Letter of Intent"" signed by 27 EU Member States, see https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/news/eu-and-eea-member-states-sign-cross-border-experiments-cooperative-connected-and-automated]]) and paves the way towards o

• Validation of latest version of 5G technologies and architecture in a CAM context, including validation of innovative business models and applicable standards.
• Validated cost/benefit analysis of cross border 5G deployment enabling CAM along 5G corridors potentially including several business domains.
• Characterisation of 5G Release 16 or beyond for the most advanced CAM use cases (see through, sensor sharing, high density platooning, etc.) including innovative spectrum use.
• Validation of sustainable models combining 5G and AI features to support most advanced CAM use cases.
• Technological validation of 5G introduction for train/railways use cases including FRMCS aspects, migration, spectrum, and co-existence issues with the automotive case.
• Development of a sustainable model for a pan-European cloud infrastructure supporting CAM services at European scale.
• Support to sustainable deployment models paving the way towards deployment actions a
