5G Network Architecture and Configuration Choices to Support Teleoperated Driving at Scale

Teleoperated driving (ToD) enables the remote driving or control of vehicles. For this purpose, vehicles must transmit video feeds to the ToD control center so that the remote operator is fully aware of the driving conditions and can safely control the vehicle. 5G (and beyond) networks are fundamental for the deployment of ToD as they can provide the low latency, reliable and broadband connection necessary to connect the vehicle and ToD control center. However, it is unclear whether common 5G network architectures and configurations are well-suited to support the simultaneous teleoperation of multiple vehicles with demanding uplink bandwidth, as current networks are mainly configured to support mobile broadband services. This paper demonstrates that MEC or edge-based 5G networks are better suited to support and scale the ToD service than centralized networks, and quantifies the bandwidth required to simultaneously teleoperate multiple vehicles under various 5G network architectures and configurations, including different duplexing modes and TDD frame structures. Finally, the study shows that the configuration of the control channels can help mitigate the impact that the processing time of the video feeds has on the capacity to support and scale the ToD service.

Impact of ADAS and V2X Penetration Rates on Cooperative Active Safety

A major driver of connected and automated driving is cooperative active safety. The effectiveness of cooperative safety applications depends on the ability of vehicles to detect traffic safety risks in advance. Such risks can be identified either through ADAS (Advanced Driving Assistance Systems) or via V2X (Vehicle to Everything) communications. More vehicles are gradually being deployed with ADAS, but ADAS sensors can be limited by their sensing range and field of view. On the other hand, V2X can experience communication ranges beyond the ADAS sensing range, but its impact is highly dependent on the V2X penetration rate. This paper analyzes the impact of ADAS and V2X penetration rates on the effectiveness of cooperative active safety applications considering an emergency braking maneuver use case in a highway scenario. Results show that while ADAS and V2X each enhance traffic safety, their combined deployment further amplifies these gains, with the effect becoming more pronounced as V2X is deployed more rapidly.

Electrostatic potential mapping at ferroelectric domain walls by low-temperature photoemission electron microscopy

Low-temperature X-ray photoemission electron microscopy (X-PEEM) is used to measure the electric potential at domain walls in improper ferroelectric Er0.99Ca0.01MnO3. By combining X-PEEM with scanning probe microscopy and theory, we develop a model that relates the detected X-PEEM contrast to the emergence of uncompensated bound charges, explaining the image formation based on intrinsic electronic domain-wall properties. In contrast to previously applied low-temperature electrostatic force microscopy (EFM), X-PEEM readily distinguishes between positive and negative bound charges at domain walls. Our study introduces an X-PEEM based approach for low-temperature electrostatic potential mapping, facilitating nanoscale spatial resolution and data acquisition times in the order of 0.1-1 sec.
