Sophia Antipolis, 30 September 2024
Direct communications between vehicles, pedestrians and infrastructure based on 3GPP and ETSI TC ITS standards have been tested during the 4th C-V2X Plugtests™ interoperability event in Malaga, Spain, hosted by DEKRA (September 10- 13, 2024).
In partnership with 5GAA, this Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) and ITS technologies event attracted the participation of 24 companies and 82 experts – both onsite and via remote connections – with 94% of the planned tests, based on over 60 test scenarios, successfully completed.
The event highlighted advanced safety use cases, including those for ‘Collective Perception Message (CPM)’ and ‘Vulnerable Road Users (VRU)’, both showcasing the interoperability of C‑ITS platforms with Public Key Infrastructures (PKIs).
Alongside, vendors of On-Board Units (OBUs), Roadside Units (RSUs) and PKIs tested the interoperability of their implementations, to validate their understanding of the ITS standards.
Event partner 5GAA held a workshop on the C-V2X ecosystem and the impact of ETSI ITS Release 2 standards. The workshop featured discussions between key players, from both governmental bodies and manufacturing companies, on 5G-V2X advances, arising security aspects and on the status of integration with Advanced Driving Systems and Automated Driving Systems.
