This paper is a review of preliminary results and progress of the EU-5G-DRIVE and corresponding twinningproject in China. The project is funded under the EU Horizon-2020, from where 5G development and especiallyenhanced Mobile Broadband and V2X technologies are studied by various organizations around EU. The paperfocuses on the first field tests of the project, which has been done in Espoo Finland in May 2019. The field tests are planned so that there are two use case test scenarios, where hybrid communication technologies (ETSI ITS-G5 and LTE/5G) are experimented together with automated car. The tests will produce more information about 5G development and especially focus on interoperability issues between EU and China, where 5G-DRIVE’s counter project is executed in parallel. The preliminary results indicate that the current network is not ready for having real collaborative driving and especially, steps towards C-V2X is not straightforward as thought in headlines.

Inspired by recent research, we explore ways to model the highly morphological Finnish language at the level of characters while maintaining the performance of word-level models. We propose a new Character-to-Word-to-Character (C2W2C) compositional language model that uses characters as input and output while still internally processing word level embeddings. Our preliminary experiments, using the Finnish Europarl V7 corpus, indicate that C2W2C can respond well to the challenges of morphologically rich languages such as high out of vocabulary rates, the prediction of novel words, and growing vocabulary size. Notably, the model is able to correctly score inflectional forms that are not present in the training data and sample grammatically and semantically correct Finnish sentences character by character.

This paper describes development process of the new ITS services from ideas to commercial pilots with an example of Helsinki - St. Petersburg smart transport corridor. Also key publications in the field of ITS services are addressed in order to draw a picture of industry. ITS services are focused on providing information. They are developing and they have new business potential. Also obligatory authority services, especially automated eCall system are being developed and promote ITS service. Finnish authorities and companies have worked closely together with Russian counterparties to boost commercial ITS services. The work started with developing technical specifications, architecture, regulative framework and studying business models. The work continued with service development, proof-of-concepts and piloting. Currently multi-service model is piloted with Vedia services, aiming to serve travellers between Helsinki and St. Petersburg. The fragmentation of service offering is a big problem in ITS services but multi-service model seems to overcome this challenge with the support of authorities. This paper discusses the development of fully functional value network with service offerings as a case of successful ITS services.
