In an effort to improve road safety, the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) worked on a project to develop a cutting-edge wireless traffic network connecting vehicles and infrastructure. The FMI team conducted extensive field measurments on Petajamaa and Sodankylä Airport test tracks by meticulously designing, refining, and piloting the measurements and related techniques. In this paper, our field measurements ranging from simple vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) interactions to complex multi-hop scenarios involving multiple cars and roadside units using cellular based 5G networks are reported. The paper examines important metrics such as goodput time, latency, packet loss, and average throughput using state-of-the-art equipment such as Sunit vehicle PCs, laptops, modern smart phones, and antennas. Despite facing challenges such as GPS inaccuracies and varying vehicle speeds, this study provides valuable insights into the network's performance under different real-time conditions. The results have significant implications for understanding connectivity ranges and achievable data rates in real-world settings using 5G network. The findings from this paper have the potential to significantly impact road safety standards, offering a glimpse into the future of transportation and paving the way for safer roads worldwide.
