Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) will play a crucial role in\nnext-generation Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITSs). Not\nonly is the information exchange fundamental to improve road safety and\nefficiency, but it also paves the way to a wide spectrum of advanced ITS\napplications enhancing efficiency, mobility and accessibility. Highly dynamic\nnetwork topologies and unpredictable wireless channel conditions entail\nnumerous design challenges and open questions. In this paper, we address the\nbeneficial interactions between CAVs and an ITS and propose a novel\narchitecture design paradigm. Our solution can accommodate multi-layer\napplications over multiple Radio Access Technologies (RATs) and provide a smart\nconfiguration interface for enhancing the performance of each RAT.\n
