The emergence of 5G technology has opened up new possibilitties for connected transport systems such as smart infrastructure, real-time traffic management and C-ITS and V2X applications. However Transport agencies need a clear, evidence-based understanding of how 5G technology can enhance their operations and services or solve existing or future problems, while also understanding and mitigating risks
This webinar will provide the findings of the research report that identifies practical insights that can help transport agencies make confident decisions, plan strategically and prepare for the future of connected transport.
The analysis yielded the following critical conclusions:
- 5G is a long-term enabler.
- High-value, low-complexity use cases—such as local alerts, road worker zone alerting and curve speed warnings—offer feasible near-term wins using existing infrastructure.
- Unresolved business models for guaranteed service quality and persistent regional coverage gaps, particularly for 5G, remain key feasibility constraints.
- Reliability and latency remain critical constraints.
- Vehicle readiness requires staged planning.
This webinar is presented by Rita Excell and Alex Shnaider.
