5G connectivity, what it is and how it will help transport
Over the past few decades, we have seen safety on board from passive to active, moving from devices designed to mitigate the consequences of accidents, such as airbags and to some extent also ABS and ESP, to devices Smart designed to be avoided, such as adaptive cruise control or emergency braking, which try to prevent situations of imminent risk.
The next step is systems foresightthat is, those that allow you to anticipate a potentially dangerous situation before it can occur. Like? It is not enough for this look far since sensors or cameras can do this, it is necessary to obtain information from the environment and from other vehicles. And this requires a system data exchange powerful and effective, allowing everyone to communicate with everyone.
How 5G works
The answer to this need, which until now has held back the development of V2V and V2G (vehicle-to-vehicle communication and infrastructure) systems, is called 5G, and unlike previous generations from 2G to 4G, it is not just a connection. faster but a more complex and global system that allows you to work no longer on a certain range, but on one frequency spectrum advanced, with the connection of fixed and mobile devices.
Powerful and efficient
Top-notch technical requirements: latency (data transmission delay) less than millisecond while the range is greater than i 20 GB / s, with the ability to connect Million devices per square kilometer and above all reliability tends to 100%.
For the world of transport, this means the ability to share a priori common protocols that allow everyone to interact. For this purpose, the G5 Automoticve Association consortium was created, which currently includes more than 130 companies operates in the automotive sector, from manufacturers to suppliers of components and communications services.
The benefits will be 360° and will start with office and logistics activities, which will allow you to count on better and more timely data transmission, to fleet management with control and quick response to unexpected events. real-time much higher than the current one. But above all, safety will benefit from this, which will make a long-awaited qualitative leap in the development of autonomous driving.
Global sensory system
The network will allow the creation of intelligent infrastructures equipped with Камеры to monitor the streets and inform nearby vehicles about the presence of pedestrians or bicycles, but that's not all: thanks to the 5G network, vehicles will not only recognize pedestrians, but will also be able to send them Posts on a mobile phone, communicate with each other by sharing location and speed data, and expect interference collision avoidance systems thanks to remote traffic monitoring.
They will even be able to send them in real time. Image captured by side cameras, thus getting one extended view useful for viewing sections of the road that are hidden from view. Data and images can also be accessed administrative bodies, which thus will have an additional tool for preparing relief efforts or interference.
