5G as enabler for Cybersecure Connected Vehicles 5GCCV

Important results from the project

The project largely delivered the results that were planned. The key objectives of the project, to investigate the implementation of UNECE R155, conduct risk assessments, develop proposals for cybersecurity agreements between vehicle and mobile network operators, and conduct incident management exercises, were achieved. The project also resulted in insights into organizational responsibilities, incident management capabilities, and technical requirements in a 5G-based transportation environment.

Expected long term effects

The project is expected to have several long-term impacts that strengthen Swedish and European capabilities to manage cybersecurity within the connected and automated transport system. The most important impacts include: • Increased cybersecurity competence within the transport sector • Support for the implementation of regulatory requirements • Improved collaboration between actors in the sector • Strengthened innovative capacity in secure 5G solutions • Basis for further policy development

Approach and implementation

The project was implemented as a collaboration between industry and research actors with complementary roles, where AstaZero, Einride, Ericsson, RISE and Telia together performed practical and analytical elements to address cybersecurity challenges in connected and automated vehicles. The project was based on a combination of literature studies, regulatory analysis, practical tests and joint workshops, which ensured both deep technical anchoring and practical applicability.
