The proposal leverages ETSI MEC V2X Information Service APIs and introduces a simplified CAMARA abstraction layer that hides underlying network and radio complexity. + +The API enables applications to interact with vehicles, infrastructure, and edge platforms through operator-exposed APIs. + +Example business cases: + +Connected Ambulance Routing – Emergency vehicles receive hazard notifications and optimized routes through edge and network intelligence. + +Collision Risk Detection – Nearby vehicles and vulnerable road users receive alerts based on real-time traffic and infrastructure data. + +Smart City Mobility Services – Applications access V2X provisioning information and safety messages for traffic management and road safety. + +### Technical viability +The proposed API relies on existing and standardized technologies: + +ETSI MEC V2X Information Service (MEC 030) for localized V2X interactions between vehicles, infrastructure, and MEC applications. + +ETSI MEC platform for edge computing and low-latency service execution. + +CAMARA Network APIs to expose simplified northbound APIs for developers. + +A Transformation Function (TF) can map MEC southbound APIs to CAMARA northbound service APIs. + +Relevant supporting standards: + +ETSI MEC specifications (including V2X Information Service) + +CAMARA API framework + +ETSI MEC White Paper No. 68 (MEC application developer guidelines) + +These technologies are already standardized and widely adopted in 5G and edge computing environments. + +### Commercial viability +The proposed API builds on existing edge computing and MEC-based deployments developed within ongoing smart mobility and smart city projects. + +Relevant projects include: + +CASCAD-e Project – Demonstrates connected ambulance services using edge computing, enabling real-time hazard notifications, remote medical triage, and secure transmission of patient data. + +ToMOVE Project – ToMOVE Project – Provides an edge cloud platform with an API Gateway and ETSI-compliant MEC infrastructure, supporting smart mobility services like in City of Turin and V2X communication use cases using smart city datasets and infrastructure. + +These projects demonstrate the feasibility of deploying V2X services using MEC platforms and API exposure layers, which can be extended with CAMARA APIs to provide standardized developer access. + +### YAML code available? +NO + +### Validated in lab/productive environments? +NO + +### Validated with real customers? +NO + +### Validated with operators? +NO + + +### Supporters in API Backlog Working Group +List of supporters. +*NOTE: That shall be added by the Working Group.
