In the future, highways are expected to see an increase in smarter vehicles that can communicate with each other and self-driving cars. This will bring new challenges that require faster, more stable, and safer communication systems. To meet these demands, the development of highways with a robust 5G network infrastructure is necessary.
The 5G Adria project was launched to address these needs. The consortium consists of Telemach Slovenia and Croatia, DARS, the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the University of Ljubljana, and the Croatian company OIV. Together, they are conducting a study to explore the establishment of 5G infrastructure to enhance mobility and connectivity in Slovenia and Croatia. The research is funded in part by the European Union and is expected to be completed by the end of June.
The study focuses on analyzing the current network capacities and infrastructure to support the Mediterranean road corridor. The goal is to improve traffic management and establish the necessary connectivity for the future. The findings of the study will provide insights into the implementation costs of these solutions per kilometer of highway, with results expected in the fall.
The project aims to create a high-capacity network for next-generation applications, ensuring efficiency, safety, and communication for autonomous vehicles. Additionally, it highlights
