This panel addresses the contributions of C-V2X (cellular vehicle to everything) and 5G to Connected and Automated Mobility (CAM). The state-of-the-art and 3GPP release timelines will be discussed in terms of the availability of solutions to provide real-time/critical CAM-related services.
An important requirement is to provide such services also in scarcely populated areas, mostly rural and peripheral – already an explicit EU 5G Action Plan goal for 2025 at least for major transport paths, mainly road, rail and waterways. Providing such coverage will require innovative investment solutions involving mobile and road operators, as well as rail and other infrastructure (e.g., energy) providers.
