IntelliDriveSM Workshop at ITS America Annual Meeting:
Enabling Devices and Products with DSRC
PURPOSE
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.
PARTICIPATION
The workshop is open and free of charge to all interested parties
in the automotive, telecommunications, consumer electronics, and
other industries. The ITS JPO encourages participation by
manufacturers, applications developers, and industry
representatives. The ITS JPO anticipates participation by other
meeting attendees such as academic researchers and state and local
government representatives. A summary of the event will be made
available to all interested parties for review and comment.
LOCATION AND TIMING
The workshop will follow the closing plenary session of
the ITS America 20th Annual Meeting &
Exposition at the Hilton Americas in
Houston, Texas on May 5, 2010, from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM
CST.
