Kurihara, Chair, IEEE P1609Slide 12 doc: IEEE p Submission ISO TC204 WG16 & IEEE P1609 WG Workshop, 2-4 Sep 2008 SUMMARY RESULTS The cooperative work on 1609 should form an ad-hoc working group based on Webex or similar. This will be done by invitation to mail reflector ETSI TC ITS, IEEE P1609, p and ISO CALM. Hans- Joachim Fischer will take the lead to send out an invitation for the first meeting within two weeks. Scott Cadzow will take the lead to invite on security to send out an invitation for the first meeting within two weeks. Andreas Festag (to be confirmed!) will take the lead to invite on Geo protocols and send out an invitation for the first meeting within two weeks. Example of collaboration (to be confirmed) “The revision of the current ETSI, ISO and IEEE standards relevant to P1609, will be accomplished in an open, joint cooperation between ETSI, IEEE and ISO where relevant requirements from ISO and ETSI amend and extend P1609. Relevant ISO standards, e.g., ISO 21215, 21217, 24102, 29281, should reference IEEE p and P1609 where relevant and vice versa.”

September 2008 T. M. Kurihara, Chair, IEEE P1609Slide 14 doc: IEEE p Submission Related Projects – ETSI ITS Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) provide communications between a vehicle and the roadside in specific locations, for example toll plazas. They may then be used to support specific Intelligent Transport System applications such as Electronic Fee Collection.Intelligent Transport System Electronic Fee Collection DSRC are for data-only systems and operate on radio frequencies in the 5,725 MHz to 5,875 MHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band. DSRC systems consist of Road Side Units (RSUs) and the On Board Units (OBUs) with transceivers and transponders. The DSRC standards specify the operational frequencies and system bandwidths, but also allow for optional frequencies which are covered (within Europe) by national regulations. DSRC systems are used in the majority of European Union countries, but these systems are currently not totally compatible. Therefore, standardization is essential in order to ensure pan-European interoperability, particularly for applications such as electronic fee collection, for which the European imposes a need for interoperability of systems. Standardization will also assist with the provision and promotion of additional services using DSRC, and help ensure compatibility and interoperability within a multi-vendor environment. CEN TC 278 produced the following standards: EN 12253, EN 12795, EN [ISO 15628] and EN for DSRC. Reference: Contact: K.

September 2008 T. M. Kurihara, Chair, IEEE P1609Slide 20 doc: IEEE p Submission ITU-T GSC-13 Study Activity Considering: a) that the lifetime of vehicles exceeds that of any particular generation of public wireless networks; b) that vehicle manufacturers in each part of the world design and manufacturer vehicles for others parts of the world; c) that there are very large vehicle populations; d) that international harmonisation of standards for communications for vehicle safety is desirable in advance of deployment of vehicles using such communications; e) that many governments have made reducing vehicle deaths and injuries a priority; f) that vehicle crashes can be reduced by communicating information about dangerous conditions to vehicles, or by communicating directly with vehicles to provide safety related services; g) that several key issues to enable such services require international coordination and coordination between and among Participating Standards Organizations (PSOs); h) that ITU-T APSC TELEMOV is chartered as a cooperation group on all aspects of standardization related to telecommunications within and for motor vehicles and has been hosting the GSC ITS Task Force since GSC-11 (see: apsc/special-actions.html); andhttp:// i) that the GSC ITS Task Force has delivered a set of recommendations for standards collaborations activities in support of automotive crash notification (ACN), vehicle safety communications (VSC), software reconfigurable radios (SRR) and location referencing (gsc12_open_26: GSC ITS TF Report to GSC-12 v doc).

September 2008 T. M. Kurihara, Chair, IEEE P1609Slide 21 doc: IEEE p Submission ITU-T GSC-13 Study Activity Resolves: 1) to endorse the continuation of the GSC ITS Task Force hosted by ITU-T APSC TELEMOV and requests the Task Force to: –a) use the recommendations in the report as the basis for ongoing work; –b) serve as a coordination point for global standardization activities and further the recommendations noted in the report; and in particular to recommend and facilitate specific mechanisms for this coordination; –c) make recommendations to GSC on related spectrum issues and technologies for VSC, including an approach for development of specific ITS protocols to support VSC at 700MHz; –d) recommend the scope for specific standards needed to enable Software Reconfigurable Radio (SRR) for automotive applications at the next GSC meeting; and –e) report on progress in each of these areas at the next GSC meeting; and 2) to request the Participating Standards Organisations to review the GSC ITS Task Force report and their national/regional activities in each of the topic areas and report on progress.

September 2008 T. M. Kurihara, Chair, IEEE P1609Slide 22 doc: IEEE p Submission Q1. What is IEEE VTS WiVec? A1. Welcome to WiVeC 2008 in Calgary! September nd IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications Wireless vehicular communications has been identified as a key technology for increasing road safety and transport efficiency, and providing Internet access on the move to ensure wireless ubiquitous connectivity. The potential of this technology has been acknowledged with the establishment of ambitious research programs worldwide, such as the European eSafety initiative, the US programs derived from the Intelligent Vehicle Initiative and the Japanese Internet ITS and AHS programs. The IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) currently covers through its areas of interest (Mobile Radio, Transportation Systems and Automotive Electronics) all technical aspects needed to make wireless vehicular communications a reality. As a result, the IEEE VTS society has decided to establish a technical symposium on wireless vehicular communications, with the first issues planned to be co-located with the reputed IEEE VTS conferences. The IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications (WiVeC) will cover all vehicular wireless communications aspects of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to- Infrastructure (V2I) and Vehicle-to-Person (V2P) communications, including implications on transport efficiency and safety, implications on automotive electronics, liability issues, standardizations efforts and spectrum assignment.

September 2008 T. M. Kurihara, Chair, IEEE P1609Slide 23 doc: IEEE p Submission Q2. What is the 2008 IEEE 68th Vehicular Technology Conference: VTC2008-Fall, 21–24 September 2008, Calgary, Alberta, Canada A2. The 68th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference will be held 21–24 September 2008 in the beautiful city of Calgary, Canada—The Heart of the North West—and conveniently located for attractions such as Banff. The conference will bring together individuals from academia, government, and industry, to discuss and exchange ideas in the fields of wireless and vehicular technology. The conference will feature world-class plenary speakers, tutorials, and technical as well as application sessions.
