Autonomous Driving Car Martti with 5G


Two giants from Finland join hands for experimenting Fifth Generation (5G) of mobile technology for real time communications between driverless car, Martti and 5G. This experiment tries to validate the transmission of road conditions, real time traffic condition, traffic camera as well as traffic lights data to and from Martti car over cloud based services to (Mobile Edge Computing) MEC as well as to other vehicles in that vicinity.  


VTT Research

The core of the studies to see the data like traffic lights, traffic cameras, sensors in the cars to be transmitted to MEC server located at some distance as shown in figure below. 
This data is then analyzed at MEC server and on the basis of the results from this data instruction may be transmitted back through low latency and high bandwidth network of 5G to change the course of the car if needed.

However, this is still in experimental phase until the final promises of 5G on low latency as well as huge bandwidth are fulfilled. The full details of the working of the trial can be seen on the following YouTube video.

5G targets:

Some of the target in terms of different performance parameters for wireless link of 5G are as follows.
  1. Download Speed 10-100Gbps
  2. Round Trip Time = 1millisecond
  3. Latency 1 to 10 milliseconds
