The Automotive Side of VIIHey Dude, where is my
car?

• Good question, but
• if you dont know where your car is today
• VII may not help you in the future finding it
• at least not in its basic functionality
• but perhaps by subscribing to opt-in private
  services.

The Automotive Side of VIIWhat is VII?

• Creating an Enabling Communication
  Infrastructure to support Vehicle-to-Vehicle and
  Vehicle-to-Infrastructure Communications
• (VII Coalition)

11
The Automotive Side of VIIThe Objective of the
VII-Initiative

• To determine if the investment necessary to equip
  new vehicles and the roadway infrastructure with
  communications is warranted and can be
  synchronized.
• (VII Coalition)

ITS in the USVII Why now?

• Wireless communication became ubiquitous in the
  past 10 years
• A vast number of standards and chipsets to choose
  from
• 801.11a,b,g
• CDMA2000
• EV-DO (Rev A)
• GSM
• UMTS
• EDGE
• 802.16e
• 802.11p PHY and MAC for DSRC
• High Bandwidth for relativly low costs

14
The Automotive Side of VIIDSRC Unique
Capabilities

• Current Networks in use
• Are operated centrally
• Have a wide area coverage
• Have a high communication latency
• DSRC Networks
• Are operated locally
• Can have a dedicated coverage
• Have a low latency / high availbility

15
ITS in the USDSRC is a Short Range Radio

• 300m (1000m max) - Hot Spot-Topology Network
• High data rate 6-27 Mbps
• Data only
• Half duplex One-way at a time
• Security and privacy

ITS in the USGoal Zero Fatalities
While crashworthiness standards have been and
will continue to be very important, we are
reaching the point of diminishing returns by
focusing only on crashworthiness. The biggest
return on investment in terms of lives saved and
injuries prevented in the future will come from
accelerated development and deployment of crash
avoidance technologies. Jeffrey W. Runge

ITS in the USGoal Zero Delays
In the last 25 years the amount of Vehicle Miles
Traveled rised by 28, but the roadway network
only grew by 2. The result are more and longer
traffic delays.

• Vehicle to Roadside Communicatione.g. CICAS

23
The Automotive Side of VIIThe Role of the Vehicle

• Car provides Access to the network
• Customer experiences functionality of network
  through the car
• Manufacturer of vehicle is 1st contact for the
  customer and network-user

24
The Automotive Side of VIIInstitutional Issues
Identified

• Privacy
• Data ownership
• Data access
• Liability
• Deployment policy issues
• For a successful operation these issues have to
  be covered with policies.
