1300 - 1430 Session on European Approach to Cooperative Systems Architecture

Moderator: Juhani Jääskeläinen (DG Information Society and Media - European Commission)  

Session Objectives:
The work in Co-operative Systems in Europe started in 2006 with the launch of three Integrated Projects (CVIS, SAFESPOT and COOPERS) and a number of targeted research projects. This research aims at significant improvements in Mobility and Transport in Europe by offering higher levels of safety to all road users, improving the efficiency of the whole transport system and increasing comfort for all.

The success of Co-operative systems will depend on interoperability of different components. The partners in research and development have to agree upon a common Communications Architecture for Co-operative systems, paving the way to interoperability and standardisation. COMeSafety, a Specific Support Action and the Communications Working Group of the eSafety Forum spearhead Europe's efforts to achieve this ambitious goal.

This session gives an overview on the current status of the work on Co-operative Systems in Europe, concentrating on the approach to the common Communications Architecture and the research challenges.

Speakers:
  • Towards a Common Communications Architecture in Europe: Timo Kosch (BMW, Coordinator of COMeSafety)
  • Building Consensus on spectrum and standardisation in Europe: Uwe Daniel (Bosch, Chair of the eSafety Forum Communications WG)
