Status: On Going

Activity Code: NAVISP-EL2-235

Start date: 07/11/2025

Duration: 12 Months

The I-PoCARS project (Integrated PoC for real-time Automotive useR case with Step) addresses the creation of an enhanced localisation system solution through 5G connectivity and GNSS enhancement as a first step towards a path planning safety solution for autonomous vehicles. 

The work intends to create a preliminary design for an integrated industry-led framework, linking space, telecommunication and the automotive industry. 

GNSS Correction information will be delivered into vehicles via the Vodafone STEP V2X service, utilising a high priority 5G network slice to ensure reliable message delivery, and the 5G network will support accurate 5G positioning, as a complementary service to GNSS
