Communications

The eSafety Forum Steering Group (SG) decided to establish the Working Group Communication (WG-C) at its meeting on 14 March 2005. The objectives given by the SG for this Group are to cover all communication technologies and modes relevant for the general mission of eSafety. Although vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication is seen as a cornerstone for advanced traffic management and driver assistance, vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) and, when relevant, infrastructure-to-infrastructure (I2I) communication will also be included.

The WG-C was established in fall 2005 and includes all stakeholders in traffic and road issues which could be positively influenced by the above communication technologies.

Special focus will be directed to:

• Spectrum issues, helping the Commission with CEPT and Radio Spectrum Committee (RSC)
• Standardisation, working together with Intelligent Transportation Systems Steering Group (ITSSG) towards ETSI, CEN and ISO
• International cooperation, i.e. establishing contacts to similar groups in the US and Japan to coordinate international issues in the WG-C work areas

The WG-C will report regularly into the SG and will organise at least one workshop session, ideally part of an ITS World/European Congress session. Member reports from other interest groups like C2CC will be arranged on an ad hoc basis.

eSafety Forum presentations will be planned according to progress and decision points.
