5.9 GHz DSRC

• DSRC (WAVE mode) Wireless Access Vehicular
  Environment using Dedicated Short Range
  Communications
• DSRC has different regional meanings in
  transportation industry
• North America (5.9 GHz)
• Europe (5.8 GHz, CEN TC278)
• Asia (Japan, 5.8 GHz/ARIB T75)
• Uses IEEE 802.11 Chipset Technology Wi-FiTM and
  provides wireless communication in linking the
  business, home and car
• Major focus around Highway Safety and Mobility
• From standpoint of Tolling Industry, 5.9 GHz is
• Tag of the Future in 2010 Decade
• Probably built-in (device) versus added-on (tag)
• Standardized Technology
• Requires new In-lane Equipment
• Non-interference simple, graceful migration
• U.S. DOT could MANDATE the Technology for Safety
