Introduction
Intelligent transport systems (ITS) and automated driving are fast moving toward widespread commercialization and market acceptance. High levels of automation – the penultimate step to fully automated driving – are expected on the road by 2020 and hold great promise to improve road safety, reduce congestion and emissions, and increase the accessibility of personal mobility.
Objectives
On 6 July 2017, a workshop jointly organized by ITU and the
Info-communications Media Development Authority of Singapore (IMDA) examined advances in the area of vehicle communications, from the perspectives of technology, business, and regulation. Sessions discussed,
inter alia, connectivity options for connected vehicles and automated driving; cybersecurity for automotive communications; and the role to be played by artificial intelligence and machine learning in future transport systems.
On 7 July 2017, the meeting of the
Collaboration on ITS Communication Standards reviewed the state of ITS communication standards and discussed the road ahead.
A draft agenda and meeting documentation was made available at
