Spectrum requirements for road safety

Date: 03 March 2006

The “Spectrum Requirements for Road Safety” workshop, proposed by the Radio Spectrum Committee (RSC) and organised by the European Commission, took place 28 February 2006 in Brussels. The RSC assists the European Commission in the development and adoption of technical implementing measures aimed at ensuring harmonised conditions for the availability and efficient use of the radio spectrum.

Workshop participants discussed the spectrum requirements of future safety-critical applications in the context of Co-operative Systems, the status of spectrum harmonisation and standardisation activities in Europe and the rest of the world, as well as the next steps with regards to spectrum requirement issues.

Mrs Rosalie Zobel from the European Commission chaired the meeting, which saw representatives from all major stakeholders, such as the RSC, the CEPT (European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations), ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute), eSafety Forum, eSafety Support office, industry and other research projects.

The work on spectrum requirements continues with a series of meetings planned for 2006, including the eSafety Forum Communication Working Group (6 April) and eSafety Forum Plenary (November 2006).
