5G-MOBIX Project

5G-MOBIX (5G for Cooperative & Connected Automated Mobility on X-border corridors) is a European Union Horizon 2020 Project. Its main objective is to develop automated vehicle functions by using innovations such as low latency and high bandwidth provided by 5G technology and advanced artificial intelligence techniques. The project was realized with 59 partners from 10 countries. Proving grounds were established in six different countries and preliminary demonstrations of the developed technologies were carried out. In two different border crossing corridors, Spain-Portugal and Turkey-Greece borders, the technologies developed within the scope of the project were demonstrated with various usage scenarios. Your organization was involved in the demonstration activities in the Turkey-Greece border crossing corridor. In this field, it worked together with local partners Ford Otosan, Turkcell and Ericsson TR. On the Greek side, organizations such as Cosmote, WINGS and Ericsson GR were involved. The work in this area was completed under the leadership of Turkish-Greek partners with the support of other partners, and four main use cases were successfully realized. In the "TIR Routing" use case in which you participated and are currently developing, a TIR that was directed to the X-Ray TIR Scanning building located in the Ipsala Customs Area was successfully completed to autonomously enter and exit the building. In this way, it has been shown that the driver saves the time lost while dropping off and picking up his vehicle. In addition, the application, which is being developed within the scope of other projects of our Agency, automatically analyzed the obtained scan images and returned the results. In this way, more trucks could be X-Ray scanned on a daily basis, saving time and increasing border security. Other usage scenarios to be implemented in the field include convoying of vehicles (platooning), live high-resolution image transfer from the vehicle in front to the vehicle behind (See What I See application), and other auxiliary scenarios to ensure fast and secure transactions at the customs area. These objectives were successfully completed and the 5G-MOBIX Project successfully realized the planned objectives.
