Abstract

With the continuous development of communication technology, 5G technology has been widely applied in all aspects. In China, where a vast population base translates into high travel demands and severe traffic congestion, intelligent transportation systems (ITS) emerge as a crucial solution. This paper delves into the integration of 5G and ITS, exploring the application of 5G technology in this vital field through literature review and case analysis. It meticulously examines the specific applications of 5G in three key areas: autonomous driving, traffic management, and intelligent travel services. Moreover, it addresses the challenges faced by 5G in this domain, along with potential countermeasures and future development trends. Leveraging its technical attributes of extensive connectivity, large capacity, high speed, and low latency, 5G technology significantly enhances the reliability, safety, and efficiency of intelligent transportation systems. It has not only propelled the development of ITS but also laid a solid foundation for constructing an efficient, safe, and sustainable urban transportation environment.
