Keynote
Vehicle Infrastructure Integration (VII) - Bringing Vehicle Adhoc Network Technology on the road
During the 10th World Congress held in Madrid, Spain
(November 2003), the US Department of Transportation (USDOT) announced a new
initiative, namely, Vehicle Infrastructure Integration (VII). This initiative
represents the confluence of three areas of high interest to transportation
policy managers: the Intelligent Vehicle Initiative, an emphasis on improved
traffic operations, and the continuing evolution in telecommunication
technology.
Following this announcement primary stakeholders were brought
together by the USDOT under the umbrella of the National VII Coalition. In
addition, the Vehicle Infrastructure Integration Consortium (VIIC) was formed
in early 2005 by a group of light-duty vehicle manufacturers to actively engage
in the design, testing and evaluation of a deployable VII system for the US.
This keynote address will review the goals and benefits of
this large and diverse initiative founded on DSRC and further describe the
current and planned activities that will culminate the design and build of a
reference solution which will be the focus of a proof of concept demonstration
during 2007. The important technical issues faced during the programs
development will also be reviewed together with some of the socio economic challenges
to be solved by the coalition on its path to National deployment.
Michael Cops has
worked in the automotive supply industry in Europe and the US for much of his professional
career in which he has held increasingly senior engineering business and
positions. He joined Motorola Inc. in 1986 to found their Automotive Applications
and System Center in Dearborn Michigan and then progressed to VP and Director
Business Operations where was responsible for management of various segments of
their business including powertrain controls , body electronics, chassis
control, sensors and telematics systems.
In 2001 he started his own consulting business focusing on
automotive systems business optimization. Michael has been providing consulting
service as Program Manager to the Vehicle Infrastructure Integration Consortium
since Sept 2005.

Panel Discussion
Can VANETs support additional killer applications beyond safety and if so how?
Motivating Statement-The FCC has allocated 75MHz of DSRC spectrum at 5.9Ghz
primarily to accommodate Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle to Infrastructure
(V2I) communication for safety applications. Commercial applications are
allowed in this spectrum, as long as they do not interfere with the primary
purpose. The Vehicle Infrastructure Integration (VII) Initiative tries to
develop a deployment model for DSRC to support safety and non-safety
applications over a VII Network. Similarly the research community has been
looking at the design and usage of Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) to also
support both safety and non-safety applications simultaneously. This panel will
take a look at the convergence of both topics and discuss opportunities and
obstacles towards using VANET technology in a VII Network beyond safety. Among
others, questions about technological differences, likely applications, privacy
and business models will be discussed.
