In this stream, we will explore several predictions for 5G and understand how the transportation network will be revolutionized by high-fidelity, low-latency, high-capacity, secure networks. Cybersecurity failsafes and a reliable, high-density network will be a must.
When transportation and vehicles are equipped with 5G connectivity, it will transform the way we travel. Vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication will make roads safer and more environmentally friendly while allowing dynamic traffic management and control in congested cities. Connectivity will be fundamental to the development and deployment of driverless vehicles, MaaS, ridesharing, and more efficient public transportation solutions, as well as unlocking many other applications and benefits.
Speakers from communications companies, infrastructure consultancies, and MaaS transport providers will share an exciting outlook on how this technology will shape our future.

A-to-Be
PORTUGAL
Synopsis: A-to-Be and Brisa are partners under SCOOP@F Part 2, which includes the validation of C-ITS services in open-road, cross-border tests with other EU Member States (France, Spain and Austria) and the development of a hybrid communication solution (3G-4G/ITS-G5). C-Roads Portugal is co-funded by the European Union and the objective is to deploy C-ITS services on a large-scale on five macro pilots where new use cases will be designed and verified. Brisa and A-to-Be are actively contributing to this implementation and the interoperability validation among different Portuguese operators. AUTOC-ITS was a project co-funded by the European Union aiming to contribute to the deployment of cooperative services, improving and promoting the use of C-ITS systems for connected autonomous vehicles.

Synopsis: V2X will bring the next level of vehicle connectivity and will help make roads safer. However, particularly with the integration of V2X with IoT and smart cities, large quantities of data will be generated. Data science will not only help to analyze this amount of data, but will also create new applications. At the same time, cybersecurity will become more important to ensure the integrity of communication between the involved entities. This presentation will cover Altran's vision of how data science and cybersecurity will help to monetize V2X beyond road safety.

Synopsis: Connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) will fundamentally revolutionize travel, bringing significant economic, societal and environmental benefits. However, there are several obstacles to realizing the full potential of CAVs, with safety and security being a primary concern. Autonomy communication with other vehicles (V2V), infrastructure (V2I) and ‘everything else’ (V2X) is critical for the vehicle’s decision making system and public safety. To function safely, V2X must ensure the authenticity and confidentiality of the communications and messages. This talk will explore a newly adopted communication protocol that utilizes vehicle hardware characteristics to decentralize vehicular authentication and message encryption in zero-trust networks.

Synopsis: For years we've been talking about connected and autonomous vehicles together in one statement and even one acronym: CAV. Yet as the industry has evolved, many people in the public and private sectors have tended to focus on one or the other, between connected and autonomous, and the two paths seem to be disconnected and potentially even diverging. Join this discussion about the importance of telecommunications investment in connected infrastructure and the necessary linking of connected vehicle technology to make autonomous vehicles safe, effective and efficient.
Peter Broekroelofs
chief data officer

NETHERLANDS
Synopsis: Smart mobility has become a hot topic for cities that desire to be smarter, more sustainable and more efficient. Traditional roadside infrastructure, like traffic lights, is getting connected, so road users benefit. Live examples today include green light priority for e.g. trucks, platoons and emergency vehicles, longer green for elderly pedestrians and guidance of connected autonomous vehicles. Any connected vehicle produces information that can be used to increase flow. Peter will explain the connectivity challenges and solutions of smart mobility use cases, both cellular (4G/5G) and short range (ITS-G5/WiFi-11p).

Synopsis: The emergence of 5G mobile networks and technologies will provide a game-changing platform that will revolutionize the transportation industry. But with this change will come broader cybersecurity threats, specifically relating to data. New attack vectors will exploit weaknesses in this emerging technology and its data. We will explore how to develop a cybersecurity failsafe by implementing a data consortium for the transportation industry, and how best practices from existing consortiums are applicable to the future of transportation. A successful consortium will be a collaborative big data environment, anonymized and tokenized so all the vehicle information is stored and shared securely without privacy issues.

Synopsis: The modern transportation industry is maximizing the use of the latest information technology available, such as big data, connected devices and artificial intelligence, to substantially improve the quality of its services. The amalgamation of technology into business operations introduces associated threats. Identification of and reacting to these threats in a timely manner has become an essential part of any organization that is embracing these new technologies. Due to the industry's ever-increasing dependencies on technology, the consequence of not identifying a threat and responding in a timely manner has the potential to cause heavy damages not only to the bottom line but also to a company's reputation.

Synopsis: The modern vehicle is like a sophisticated and connected laptop on wheels. With millions of connected and semi-autonomous vehicles on the road, OEMs will need a central system based on data coming from the vehicles and their perimeter. An operations center will enable OEMs to provide a smooth, secure driving experience to customers. This presentation will show how the automotive operations center is a critical solution for mobility services, proactive cybersecurity and incident management. With the increased importance of data and connectivity, the significance of allowing automotive situational awareness, security detection, feedback loop, forensic investigation, remote updates and incident response management rises as well. An operations center will enable OEMs to provide new services and support a smooth driving and riding experience for customers. This presentation will show how the operations center is a critical solution for transportation in a 5G and mobility era, allowing automotive situational awareness, health and security detection, AI feedback loop, supply chain visibility, investigation, remote updates, and incident response management.

Synopsis: In vehicular opportunistic networks, routes are computed at each hop while the packet is being forwarded, and on each node, local knowledge is used to decide the best next hop. Opportunistic networks are flexible for forwarding data since every single node acts as a gateway; however, the opportunistic forwarding process comes with a price of additional delay and overheads. Moreover, in vehicular opportunistic networks, there are several other issues, which will be discussed in this presentation.

Synopsis: 5G is expected to be everything to everyone: the connectivity for autonomous motoring, the channel for masses of IoT data, the medium for smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0. 5G is incredibly complex. New services are on the horizon, such as the C-V2X evolution implementing 5G NR side link, and the specification work on some of the more complex features has only just begun. Telcos will have to tackle the challenges associated with designing, building and testing infrastructure equipment and networks. This presentation will provide unique insight, share best practices and discuss current challenges for testing and validating key enabler technologies, such as wireless communication testing, over-the-air (OTA) test challenges and solutions to guarantee a certain level of security in 5G communication.
