How Does C-V2X Help Autonomous Driving to Avoid Accidents?

Sensors (Basel). 2022 Jan 17;22(2):686. doi: 10.3390/s22020686.

Abstract

Accidents are continuously reported for autonomous driving vehicles including those with advanced sensors installed. Some of accidents are usually caused by bad weather, poor lighting conditions and non-line-of-sight obstacles. Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) radio technology can significantly improve those weak spots for autonomous driving. This paper describes one of the C-V2X system solutions: Vulnerable Road User Collision Warning (VRUCW) for autonomous driving. The paper provides the system architecture, design logic, network topology, message flow, artificial intelligence (AI) and network security feature. As a reference it also includes a commercial project with its test results.

Keywords: AI; C-V2X; OBU; PC5; RSU; VRUCW; autonomous driving.
