Summary:

Recent advancements in 5G technology significantly advance Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) technology. C-V2X can substantially improve road safety by providing vehicles on the road connectivity with other vehicles, roadside infrastructure, and networks. Integration of C-V2X with Autonomous Driving (AD) and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) enhances road safety by sharing safety warnings and traffic information that vehicle sensors may not identify. In this paper, we developed an enhanced obstacle detection system by integrating C-V2X and a state-of-the-art DNN algorithm. First, a C-V2X Roadside Unit (RSU) is installed on the utility pole. A stereo camera with a small computing unit is connected to RSU. The deployed object detection system with a stereo camera continuously monitors the intersection area and broadcasts the object detection results to the nearby vehicles equipped with a C-V2X On-Board Unit (OBU). Since the stereo camera is used, the proposed system is able to estimate the object distance from the camera using stereo cameras' depth perception capabilities. The power of 5G technology is utilized to facilitate the direct communication of environmental perception results. Real-time experiments are conducted on the testing track to assess the proposed system, including latency in vehicle-to-everything communication across diverse scenarios. The experimental results show the deployed enhanced object detection system on the RSU is able to broadcast critical traffic information with an average latency of 1 ms, enabling the swift sharing of crucial information concerning obstacles, pedestrians, and vehicles to the other cars equipped with OBUs. The 5G-enabled transmission offers remarkable attributes, including high data rates, minimal latency, and reliable connections, rendering it well-suited for applications within the C-V2X
