5G-Based Traffic Safety and Management Service for Cooperative Connected and Automated Mobility in Cross-Border Scenarios

The EU-funded Horizon 2020 5GMED project aims to promote Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (CITS) in Europe by deploying Cooperative, Connected, and Automated Mobility (CCAM) services across international borders. In this context, this paper presents a 5G-based road traffic safety & management service based on the development of multiple actors and components capable of assessing the traffic status and providing the proper information to Connected Vehicles (CVs) through 5G and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication technologies. Performance evaluation has been carried out through real-world experiments and trials conducted along the 5GMED cross-border corridor (CBC) between Spain and France, leading to interesting findings and lessons learned presented in the conclusion of this paper.
