    Abstract

    Recent advancements in wireless communication, distributed computing, and sensing technologies, as well as in cybersecurity are enabling new digital services and solutions for vehicles and other road users. Digital road safety services can help to improve road safety and optimize road maintenance, and to enable automated vehicles in road traffic, especially, in challenging road and weather conditions. This paper presents the progress towards experimentation and piloting of four road safety -focused use cases and their underlying technical enablers. The paper also introduces the approach used for experimentation and piloting, using real 5G networks, vehicles, and sensor systems, as well as presents selected results. The work and results presented in this paper attest the feasibility and benefits of the developed services and technological solutions in improving road safety.
