IntelliDriveSM Workshop at ITS America Annual Meeting: Enabling Devices and Products with DSRC
Wednesday, May 5, 1-5pm
The IntelliDriveSM Program is interested in accelerating vehicle-to-vehicle communications using dedicated short range communications (DSRC) within a wide variety of devices. Through the IntelliDriveSM effort, a DSRC 5.9 GHz network has been made available for a range of applications that address active safety by providing crash warnings that are designed to reduce or eliminate vehicle crashes.
The U. S. Department of Transportation’s Intelligent Transportation Systems’ Joint Program Office (ITS JPO) seeks to better understand the potential for a wide range of devices to be enabled with the DSRC technology to communicate vehicle-to-vehicle information and messaging. In addition to learning more about the suite of devices that could potentially be equipped with DSRC communications capabilities, the ITS JPO seeks to understand the major issues facing manufacturers, and the potential for the Federal government to play a role in addressing those issues or overcoming deployment hurdles. To achieve these outcomes, the ITS JPO is hosting an open “Enabling Devices and Products with DSRC” Workshop.
This workshop is free and open to the public - manufacturers of devices including smart phones, portable navigation devices, toll tags and other devices (particularly aftermarket devices) used in vehicles are particularly encouraged to attend.
To register, RSVP to workshopregistration@itsa.org indicating you will be attending the IntelliDrive Enabling Devices and Products with DSRC Workshop.
