Abstract: The transportation system is entering a revolutionary phase where vehicles will coordinate their actions towards an unconceivable more efficient, safe, and comfortable way. A key role will be played by vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications, without which cars and trucks cannot see behind the obstacles or far away and cannot collaborate with each other.
The first vehicles equipped with direct V2X are reaching the consumer market in Europe from early 2021 to allow for the so-called Day-1 applications, where each vehicle communicates its status and movements and based on this the others in the surrounding can take the necessary actions. In Day-2, which is now the main target of the stakeholders working in this field and of the standardisation bodies, also the perception of the surrounding is shared. Beyond this, early work is being conducted also towards the Day-3, where vehicles not only inform those in the neighbourhood, but they coordinate their manoeuvres. Along this paths, V2X access technologies are being studied and improved to fulfil increasingly challenging requirements.
In this tutorial, the speakers will go through the state of the art and research trends regarding V2X, looking both at the evolution of the access technologies and the standardization activities at higher layers. Regarding the access technologies, attention will be posed to the latest advancements of both the WiFi and cellular-related families. At the higher layers, the focus will be on the ETSI stack, with the recently added multi-channel operation and aspects like collective perception, vulnerable road user safety, and manoeuvre coordination.
