The ETSI Intelligent Transport Systems workshop highlighted global C-ITS deployment projects in Europe, the US, Japan, and China, with the European Commission noting an upcoming Delegated Act to enable 2019 services. The event emphasized the C-Roads platform, which aims to deploy ITS services in 15 cities using ETSI standards, while addressing spectrum harmonization for the 2019 world radio conference. Security discussions focused on prioritizing system capabilities and risk mitigation, alongside considerations for automated vehicle autonomy and Multi-access Edge Computing. Future standardization efforts will target vulnerable road user protection, accident-free automated driving, and the integration of deep learning for resource orchestration in vehicular safety communications.
