Within the European 5G vertical strategy, Connected and Automated Mobility (CAM) is considered as a flagship use case for 5G deployment along European transport paths. Such technologies, are expected to enhance road-safety, improve transport operations and create high-value commercial services for users. ERTICO – ITS Europe has been working on this strategy together with its Partners and the European Commission, in particular through initiatives such as European-funded projects.
In May, over 30 international experts in 5G and CCAM gathered to present their latest work and projects at the IEEE 5G Virtual Summit for Connected and Automated Mobility (CAM), co-organised by the European Commission and the University of Luxembourg. ERTICO-coordinated projects 5G-MOBIX and 5G-LOGINNOV also took part in this important event.

In fact, among the 20 European-funded projects presented, together with industry, policy and organisations representatives, ERTICO was delighted to share the latest updates on its coordinated-project 5G-MOBIX and related Greek-Turkish and Spanish-Portuguese corridors. “The IEEE 5G Virtual Summit for Connected and Automated Mobility (CAM) was a valuable experience for 5G-MOBIX.”, said Coen Bresser, 5G-MOBIX project coordinator. “Sharing early results and best practices with other European-funded projects and international is an important step forward for the harmonisation and interoperability that we need to realize EU-wide integration of platforms, services, and applications for CAM,” he concluded.
The ERTICO-coordinated 5G-LOGINNOV project is supported by 5G technological blocks, including new generation of 5G terminals notably for future Connected and Automated Mobility, new types of Industrial Internet of Things 5G devices, data analytics, next generation traffic management and emerging 5G network architectures, for city ports to handle upcoming and future capacity, traffic, efficiency and environmental challenges.
The main challenge of 5G-LOGINNOV is to pave the way towards efficient freight and traffic operations at ports and logistics hubs by using new innovative concepts, applications and devices supported by the disruptive 5G technologies, including Internet of Things (IoT), data analytics, next generation traffic management and CCAM (Cooperative, Connected and Automated Mobility) in logistics corridors.
‘The project has a strong interest in the emergence of new market players, such as SMEs and start-ups, taking advantage of the growing adoption of distributed cloud computing technologies in 5G networks and making it possible opening innovation at service level in the logistics and Industry 4.0 sectors’ said 5G-LOGINNOV project coordinator Eusebiu Catana.
Prior to the event, the 5G-LOGINNOV consortium submitted a paper to the Virtual Summit. This paper describes the Hamburg, Athens and Luka Koper Living Labs and the corresponding Use Cases that will be demonstrated in the context of the 5G-LOGINNOV project. It can be downloaded here.
