US: SAE VRU Messages - LTE-V2X WSMP

Description:

This solution is used within Canada and the U.S.. It combines standards associated with US: SAE VRU Messages with those for V-X: LTE-V2X WSMP. The US: SAE VRU Messages standards include upper-layer standards required to implement vulnerable road user information flows. The V-X: LTE-V2X WSMP standards include lower-layer standards that support connectionless, near constant, ultra-low latency vehicle-to-any communications using the WAVE Short Messaging Protocol (WSMP) over 3GPP C-V2X in the 5.9GHz spectrum.

Readiness Description:

One significant or possibly a couple minor issues. For existing deployments, the chosen solution likely has identified security or management issues not addressed by the communications solution. Deployers should consider additional security measures, such as communications link and physical security as part of these solutions. They should also review the management issues to see if they are relevant to their deployment and would require mitigation. For new deployments, the deployment efforts should consider a path to addressing these issues as a part of their design activities. The solution does not by itself provide a fully secure implementation without additional work.
