JPL’s Blockchain Solution helps mitigate these concerns. It ensures that only trusted AVs are
allowed to enter the network, thereby enhancing security.
The combination of blockchain and 5G enables secure and efficient V2X transactions. The
blockchain processes at the edge, providing immutability, transparency, and decentralized
trust, while the 5G network enhances the speed, responsiveness, and overall connectivity of
the system.
It also safeguards critical information like traffic data, vehicle identification, and software
updates, fostering safer roads and accelerating the adoption of autonomous vehicles.
Among the connected devices that smart cities employ are traffic cameras and RSUs with
AI-based cameras, which enable a host of smart traffic use cases like:

JPL’s 5G solutions enable a host of benefits for C-V2X communication. They streamline data
management, reduce connectivity costs, and enable continuous connectivity.
The captured video data can also be shared with vehicles in real-
time, providing crucial traffic information for safer and more
efficient driving experiences.
3D HD Maps
3D High Definition (HD) maps contain large amounts of data,
including detailed road geometry, lane markings, and traffic
infrastructure. Using them in conjunction with JPL 5G technology for
V2X applications in smart cities has many advantages:
Edge AI
C-V2X leverages Edge Artificial Intelligence (Edge AI) capabilities
to process and analyze data at the edge of the network, within
the vehicles themselves, or at nearby edge computing
infrastructure. This empowers vehicles to make real-time
decisions based on local information, reducing latency and
enabling faster response times.
Connecting Highways
for Safer Mobility
Smart highways are advanced road infrastructures that utilize cutting-edge technologies
and communication systems to optimize safety, efficiency, and connectivity. They
incorporate innovative use cases like:
Predictive maintenance systems that analyze real-time data from sensors and connected
vehicles to identify potential issues, allowing proactive maintenance planning and
minimizing disruptions.
Lane-based navigation systems that utilize data from connected vehicles, intelligent traffic
management, and V2X communication to guide drivers to optimal lanes based on traffic
conditions, reducing congestion and improving travel times.
Capabilities such as dynamic speed limits, cooperative merging, and platooning through
seamless data exchange between vehicles and infrastructure.
Smart highways benefit from the integration of two key 5G technologies: C-V2X and
Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB). C-V2X enables direct communication between
vehicles, infrastructure, pedestrians, and other road users in short-range and wide-area
modes. The real-time data exchange of C-V2X enables cooperative safety features and
optimized traffic flow, while eMBB provides high-speed connectivity for HD video streaming,
real-time traffic analysis, and intelligent traffic management. Together, they enable the
integration of connected and autonomous vehicles.

Transportation Systems
In an Intelligent Transport System (ITS), multiple vehicles can securely communicate with
one another.
Autonomous and Connected Vehicles (ACVs) are key enablers of ITS. They can leverage
robust communication infrastructure to exchange critical information on traffic conditions,
congested hotspots, and other updates.
The ITS utilizes real-time data, V2X communication, IoT devices, and analytics to optimize
traffic management, improve mobility, and streamline transportation operations for a
seamless and sustainable transportation experience.

JPL’s 5G technology stack provides wide coverage with very few handovers between
access points for the movement of fleets. These fleets are operated centrally through a
fleet management system with onboard sensors, collision avoidance systems, and 5G
backhaul connectivity.
The solutions enable high-speed and reliable connectivity for real-time data transmission,
helping fleet managers to monitor vehicle locations, track performance, manage
maintenance schedules, and optimize routing in a more efficient and timely manner.
With JPL’s Network Slicing solution, dedicated network slices can be created for
autonomous vehicles (safety messages) and infotainment applications (video streaming),
ensuring optimized connectivity and performance for each, simultaneously meeting both
their unique requirements.
