The goal of this report is:
- Analyze current trends in the ITS development
- Address the progress in ITS standardization
- Estimate the ITS market
- Present the current status of the Connected Car (CC) development
- Analyze the CC technologies and marketing specifics; identify major industry players and their portfolios
- Analyze two leading CC communications technologies - 5.9 GHz DSRC and C-V2X
- Present the current status of driverless cars technologies and markets
- Analyze the driverless car major industry players
- Analyze driverless car standardization activities
- Analyze the 3GPP-related activity
- Analyze the role of 5G technologies in creating of the “ultimate” ITS.
This report addresses the current status of the ITS, its structure, major applications, standardization, and markets. The ITS aim to improve the economy by reducing the number of road accidents (making driving safer), the amount of car air pollution, and making smooth traffic flow.
The advances in the ITS are presently tied with the development of a “Connected Car” (CC) - a moving car that is wirelessly connected to surrounding cars and the infrastructure (as well as supporting connectivity inside of a car). Such a car opens a spectrum of new and exciting opportunities for automakers, service providers, and users.
CC programs are now under development all around the globe. Though there are many technological choices to support CC communications, two technologies are leading:
- 5.9 GHz DSRC, and
- C-V2X.
The report concentrates on those leaders; and analyzes their characteristics, parameters, marketing statistics, industries, and applications. It also compares these technologies and their applicability to CC communications.
5.9 GHz DSRC technology has been tested and trialed in the U.S. for the last 25 years, and a rich collection of communications channel statistics has been gathered. This technology was considered for the standardization of CC communications by the U.S. DOT. It has many attractions, such as the economies of scale based on the IEEE 802.11p standard, network simplicity, and others. It is also standardized and accepted in Europe.

Methodology
Considerable research was done using the Internet. Information from various Web sites was studied and analyzed; evaluation of publicly available marketing and technical publications was conducted.
Telephone conversations and interviews were held with industry analysts, technical experts and executives. In addition to these interviews and primary research, secondary sources were used to develop a more complete mosaic of the market landscape, including industry and trade publications, conferences and seminars.
The overriding objective throughout the work has been to provide valid and relevant information. This has led to a continual review and update of the information content.
