  • Abstract:
    On May 22, 2008, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA) convened the "Advanced Wireless Communication for the Transportation Sector Roundtable." It brought together 40 leading experts in the field of wireless communications and filled a conference room with a vast amount of intellectual capacity in the area of communications technology. Experts represented the private sector, academia, State and local Governments, and the research and advocacy community. Appendix A provides a full list of participants. The roundtable was structured to accommodate presentations, discussion, and dialogue among participants. Its goal was to share with thought leaders in the field of wireless communications critical information about the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) vision, interest, and applications to the transportation sector. The complete agenda is listed in Appendix B. The roundtable provided a forum to discuss how to enable internet and wireless communications technologies to better allow vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-infrastructure, and infrastructure-to-system manager communications in order to avoid crashes and enable improved situational awareness (including dynamic rerouting and improvements in signal timing and synchronization based on real time and evolving traffic and weather conditions). Other applications of advanced communications technologies include electronic tolling and fare collection for all modes of transportation, and developing mobility devices for remote monitoring of bridges, roads, rails, and other critical infrastructure.
