V2X and Automated Vehicles: Will They Converge?

Abstract:

This talk will cover the progress of V2X, focusing on the United States but referencing other global regions as well. It will begin with the safety-focused problem statement for ad hoc short-range communications, then progress to how the underlying radio access technology works, and the C-V2X vs DSRC comparison where ultimately C-V2X emerged as the protocol of choice in North America. The talk will also cover application profiles for a so-called Day 1 deployment and will end with a prognosis on when and how the "Day X" deployment where communicated messages might be used for the connected and automated vehicle future that many envisage.
