Exciting developments in transportation technology! 🚗💡 Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication is revolutionizing the way vehicles interact with each other and their surroundings. This technology facilitates real-time, reliable information exchange between vehicles, pedestrians, and infrastructure like traffic lights, enhancing safety, mobility, and environmental efficiency. By leveraging Cellular-V2X (C-V2X) and the innovative PC5 interface in 5G NR, vehicles can directly communicate with each other and with roadside infrastructure without relying on traditional cellular networks. This low-latency, high-reliability communication is crucial for critical safety applications such as collision avoidance and cooperative driving. The goal of V2X technology is clear: to enhance road safety, improve traffic efficiency, reduce environmental impacts, and pave the way for the development of autonomous driving. With 3GPP standards defined four types of Cellular V2X Communication: Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), Vehicle –to-infrastructure (V2I), Vehicle-to-network (V2N), and Vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) communications, the future of transportation looks promising. Cellular-V2X (C-V2X) defines a new air interface PC5 for V2V, V2I communication. V2N is still over the legacy LTE/5G Uu air interface and provides over the top cloud services. PC5 interface in 5G NR is a direct communication interface that enables vehicles to communicate directly with other vehicles (V2V), roadside infrastructure (V2I), and pedestrians (V2P) without relying on the cellular network. It provides low-latency and high-reliability communication, essential for safety-critical applications like collision avoidance and cooperative driving.

🌍 Shaping the Future of European Mobility: A Multistakeholder Initiative in Progress 🚗🚦 Over the past 14 months, I’ve engaged in countless discussions with city and regional representatives responsible for road infrastructure, operators of major highways and networks, and leaders from the mobility sector. I’ve collaborated with research institutions, participated in international working groups on modern traffic management, attended key global mobility conferences, observed transport trends, and studied legal frameworks. 💡 The result of this journey? A project proposal that I’ve shared with numerous stakeholders I collaborate with. Its aim: to better utilize road and vehicle data—not just from roadside measurement devices but also from vehicles (including autonomous ones) and mobile network operators. 🔍 The processed data should ultimately benefit us—drivers and travelers—by providing navigation insights and transport recommendations. Because at the end of the day, the goal is simple: travel faster, safer, and more comfortably. 😊 #VehicleToEverything #V2X #MobilityDataSpaces #ConnectedDriving #AutomatedDriving #Multimodality #TrafficManagement2_0🚀
