S07: Symposium on Future Networks for Connected and Automated Mobility (CAM)

SYMPOSIUM ORGANIZERS

• Jorge Pereira, Principal Scientific Officer, European Commission; co-chair, IEEE 5G for CAM

SCOPE AND MOTIVATION

In Europe, in the context of the 5G Action Plan, the mobility vertical, spanning road, rail, water ways and coastal maritime, including a multi-modality component, has been identified as a major driver of the Digital Single Market, and of the Green Deal. Considerable effort and funding has been put into large-scale testing and validation, and even pre-deployment, of 5G, namely in cross-border segments of Trans-European Transport Corridors. Elsewhere in the world, similar focus and effort has been put into addressing smarter mobility.

The main societal objectives of Connected and Automated Mobility (CAM), including Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAV), are Safer Rides (enhanced road safety), More Efficient Rides (lower emissions and reduced congestion) and Connected Rides (infotainment). On the other hand, the potential impact of CAM on jobs and growth, as well as on global competitiveness, both in the transport/mobility sector and across the economy, is huge. To deliver on these promises, we need to build on a complete ecosystem around infrastructure, equipment and services on top of 5G advanced connectivity whilst mutualizing the huge investments in mobile and fixed broadband.

This second Future Networks for Connected and Automated Mobility Symposium will bring together researchers, implementers and planners in the area of CAM, to share their experiences and present results with a view toward large-scale deployment.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

We invite submissions on a wide range of topics, from theoretical and systems research to prototyping to testing and validation to deployment, spanning automotive, rail and Inland waterways and coastal maritime, related but not restricted to:

• 5G and Beyond Wireless Technologies
• 3GPP releases and equipment timelines
• 5G Coverage Conditions
• Components and chipsets
• Spectrum availability, including experimental licences
• Antennas
• In-vehicle networking
• GDPR
• Synchronization and Alignment of Networks
• Access to Data
• Service Continuity
• Data Ownership
• Characterization of CAM and other traffic
