5G: The Fututre of Improved Road Safety and Autonomous Vehicles

Digital Revolution caused the telecommunication network to reshape the current telecom technology and provide good foundation for the development of connected vehicles. Cur-rently, the Release 16 of 5G shows that around the world, Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) test-ing is being conducted on a large scale. In comparison with 4G, the 5G network provides multitude of potential and opportunities for V2X applications and autonomous vehicles. The purpose of this thesis is to study the concept of evolution of 5G, their historical back-ground, and their architecture. The 5G technology can be used in vehicular communication devices to minimize the road casualties. The goal of this thesis is also to clarify the benefit of 5G technology in the driverless driving sector. The thesis introduces V2X capabilities with 5G to prevent unnecessary road accidents. The description of 5G architecture and features are carried out with two types of V2X commu-nication technologies, Short-range communication (DSRC) and Cellular-V2X(C-V2X) are explained. Description of the major applications of V2X along with advance use cases and the security of 5G in detail are given at the en
