1. A system comprising:
at least one hardware processor; and
at least one non-transitory memory storing instructions, which, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, cause the system to:
receive, by a local mobile edge computer (MEC) server, at least one Internet Protocol (IP) packet describing at least one basic safety message (BSM) from a roadside unit (RSU), the at least one BSM generated by at least one on-board unit (OBU) of at least one vehicle and sent by the at least one OBU to the RSU over a direct communications (PC5) interface,
wherein the at least one BSM includes a direction of operation of the at least one vehicle,
wherein the RSU is located in proximity to the local MEC server, and
wherein the at least one BSM is translated into the at least one IP packet using a control plane interface (N2) and a user plane interface (N3) implemented in the RSU;
receive, from a mobile device, information describing motion of a user of the mobile device,
wherein the information includes a trajectory of the user of the mobile device,
wherein the mobile device is located at less than a threshold distance from the RSU, and
wherein the at least one vehicle is operating at less than the threshold distance from the RSU;
determine a potential collision between the at least one vehicle and the user of the mobile device based on the direction of operation of the at least one vehicle and the trajectory of the user of the mobile device; and
send an alert to the mobile device indicating the potential collision,
wherein the local MEC server implements an access and mobility management function (AMF) of a 5G core network for sending the alert to the mobile device indicating the potential collision, and
wherein the local MEC server implements a unified data management (UDM) function for managing the at least one IP packet and the information describing motion of the user of the mobile device.
