International Telecommunication Union No 1 The Executive Round Tables High-level perspectives and strategies regarding the present and future use of ICT in cars Moderator: Professor Eric Sampson Newcastle University and ITS(UK) United Kingdom Conclusions & Recommendations

International Telecommunication Union No 2 KEYNOTE ADDRESS 1 Consumers want the safety, efficiency, mobility, environmental, convenience gains Data and information to support this mostly available but not organised not clear how best to use it mixed private / public ownership standards incomplete Business models unclear Is the initial market mainly the commercial driver or the private driver ?

International Telecommunication Union No 3 KEYNOTE ADDRESS 2 Business models difficult where’s the return on investment ? will sector collaboration on data damage business cases ? are customers willing to pay ? how much ? who handles the fee collection ? on what basis do we charge ? Do we need a “Killer Application” to make good business cases ? If so what are the candidates ? Let’s cooperate and try to make it work !

International Telecommunication Union No 4 TABLE 1 — OPPORTUNITIES

International Telecommunication Union No 5 Big wins in road safety & network management Safer vehicles, more driver support & assistance = fewer accidents Better prediction & management of traffic flow = less congestion Better management of traffic = reduced emissions and energy consumption Range of new products and services for automotive manufacturers and ITS industry Widespread recognition of societal and commercial benefits Highlights from Table 1 ─ 1

International Telecommunication Union No 6 Highlights from Table 1 ─ 2 Many teams working on applications, connectivity BUT still some gaps eg driver distraction and driver overload and underload AND work tends to be either Asia-Pacific or Americas or Europe either public sector or commercial either automotive or telecomms industry In other words not enough lateral integration

International Telecommunication Union No 7 TABLE 2 — PROBLEMS & SOLUTIONS

International Telecommunication Union No 8 Highlights from Table 2 ─ 1 Technologies and standards developing quickly but poor integration / convergence regarding stds for safety, convenience and navigation Standards bodies “competition” unwelcome with end users Introduction of electric vehicles requires new style vehicle—infrastructure linking Getting wireless link A to B easy; response time and data volumes need more thought

International Telecommunication Union No 9 Highlights from Table 2 ─ 2 BUT work tends to be either Asia-Pacific or Americas or Europe either public sector or commercial either automotive or telecomms industry Not clear what international body can bring the players together In other words not enough lateral integration

International Telecommunication Union No 10 Conclusions / Recommendations: Opportunities Major potential for : Accident reduction through driver assistance and accident notification to improve rescue operations Reducing transport impact on climate change directly & indirectly Improving driving convenience and comfort eg in-vehicle services, infotainment, remote diagnostics ─ user selling point is good news for many industries

International Telecommunication Union No 11 Conclusions / Recommendations: Problems & Solutions 1 Communication Architectures mostly ready but can we future-proof? vehicle to vehicle vehicle to infrastructure in vehicle, including nomadic devices vehicle-to-grid In-vehicle devices not being designed to common patterns / standards in Europe, Americas, Asia Pacific ? Relevant for manufacturers but who else needs global agreement ? Is anyone working on it ?

International Telecommunication Union No 12 Conclusions / Recommendations: Problems & Solutions 2 Not yet clear what system interoperability we need. Who 'owns' this issue ─ vehicle manufacturers ? infrastructure owners / operators ? specialist service providers? Governments ? All of these ? No accepted implementation strategies. Do those for Europe, Americas, Asia- Pacific need to be the same ?

International Telecommunication Union No 13 Conclusions / Recommendations: Problems & Solutions 3 Role of cellphones still unclear: embedded, integrated or autonomous ? Decision has impact on business cases Business / payment models differ for safety, climate change and comfort/convenience ─ how do we get them to converge ? Does it matter if we can't ? Not yet clear what multi-functionality we need eg does an e-Call unit have to deliver infotainment services ?

International Telecommunication Union No 14 Conclusions / Recommendations: Problems & Solutions 4 No clear view on Users' / Regulators’ / Suppliers’ security, liability and privacy concerns ─ could be a major barrier Some understanding of driver distraction and overload; less work on driver underload ─ all three could become major Regulatory issu es No single list of standards and agreed 'owners‘ ─ unhelpful for application designers

International Telecommunication Union No 15 Conclusions / Recommendations: Problems & Solutions 5 4 different and overlapping sectors: automotive manufacturers, ITS services, telecom bodies, network/infrastructure owners/operators We have the technologies; we now need the business and commercial activities Cooperation of standards bodies needs improving We need wider-ranging cross-sector collaboration; probably coordinated by Governments
