Cooperative, Connected and Automated Mobility (CCAM) holds a vast potential to reshape the way people and goods travel and move around the world. In CCAM scenarios, vehicles are well integrated in the transport system, taking advantage of its infrastructures and services. Fully automated driving could double existing road capacity by smoothing traffic flow, shifting freight transportation to off-peak hours, while smart traffic management can further increase efficiency and reduce congestion. The advantages in terms of traffic safety and user comfort are also clear, with high economic and societal benefits. Mobile communication networks (5G and beyond) are a key enabler for CCAM applications, providing the advanced technologies needed to fulfill V2X requirements and pave the way towards connected and automated driving. This way, vehicles are able to communicate with each other and nearly everything around them, helping provide 360 non-line-of-sight awareness and improved predictability for enhanced road safety and autonomous driving. These technologies play a key role in the support of CCAM services, presenting essential features, such as low-latency communications, high bandwidth and service continuity, which are particularly important in safety-critical traffic situations. Several automated mobility use cases are potential candidates to benefit from these advanced mobile networks technologies, such as cooperative overtake, highway lane merging, HD map updates, car and truck platooning, valet parking, urban environment driving, road user detection, vehicle remote control, see through application and media and …
