3. 1. Recent Achievements
1.1 Establishment of new Focus Group on Vehicular Multimedia;
Summary
With the convergence of diverse telecom and satellite networks, the modern automotive vehicle is fast evolving from a mere transport tool to an infotainment space and smart living platform. As ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) and automatic driving technology is developing, the vehicle will become the third living and infotainment space besides home and office.
A Focus Group on Vehicular Multimedia (FG-VM) has been established to identify the need for new vehicular multimedia standards based on space and terrestrial networks integration. The study will analyze and identify gaps in the vehicular multimedia standardization landscape and eventually draft technical reports and specifications covering, among others, vehicular multimedia use cases, requirements, applications, interfaces, protocols, architectures, and security, leveraging from previous work done by ITU in this field. See more details in the FG-VM terms of reference.
Next meeting
3rd FG-VM Meeting will be held on March 2019, Geneva, Switzerland.​​​

4. 1. Recent Achievements (Cont’d)
1.2 Publishment of new Recommendations;
ITU-T H.550 (ex H.VGP-ARCH) "Architecture and functional entities of vehicle gateway platforms" (New)
Summary
A vehicle Gateway Platform (VGP) is the collection of ICT hardware and software in a vehicle operating as an open platform to provide an integrated runtime environment for delivering the communications services of a Vehicle Gateway (VG). It may also provide higher layer communications services such as interaction with the driver through the Driver-Vehicle access services and so on. Subsystems dedicated solely to vehicle operation are not considered part of the VGP. Supported applications/services include ITS and infotainment.
This Recommendation specifies architecture, functional architecture framework and functional entities for vehicle gateway platform. Some signalling flows of VGP are also described in Appendix I.
A series of Recommendations for Vehicle Gateway Platforms is under the responsibility of ITU- T SG16. This Recommendation is a part of that series and gives the architecture, functional architecture framework and functional entities of VGP. 3

5. 1. Recent Achievements (Cont’d)
ITU-T H.560 (ex G.V2A) "Communications interface between external applications and a Vehicle Gateway Platform" (New)
Summary
Vehicle Gateway Platform (VGP) is the collection of ICT hardware and software in a vehicle operating that provides, as an open platform, an integrated runtime environment for delivering the communications services of a Vehicle Gateway (VG). It also provides higher layer communications services such as interaction with the driver through the Driver-Vehicle access services. Subsystems dedicated solely to vehicle operation are not considered part of the VGP. Supported applications/services include ITS and infotainment.
This Recommendation specifies functional requirements for vehicle gateway platform services, services functionalities and management, including VGP, application, and communication network requirements.
A series of Recommendations for VGP is under the responsibility of ITU-T SG16. This Recommendation is a part of that series and gives the description of VGP services and the communication interface with applications running over external devices. 4

8. 4. Future Meetings
Q27/16 is planning to hold several meetings in SG16 (Geneva, March 2019). The meeting detail will be announced by the mailing list of Q27/16 and SG16 Web page.
In the meeting, we will discuss a liaison statement from ISO TC22 SC31 WG8 to request joint work with ITU-T SG16 on VDS and contributions on the work items in the above and so on.
After SG16 (Geneva, March 2019), we may plan to hold several Rapporteur meetings before the next SG16 meeting. 3
