Forum

The success of the RCI standards - especially those that are crucial for interoperability - is dependent on the scale of acceptance and implementation by industry and operators. The project will liaise with several standardisation groups, ensuring the connection with relevant standardisation activities. This liaison allows the exchange of information about  system requirements, technologies and in-vehicle architecture.

In order to ensure the widest possible consensus on the proposed solutions, the project has created the RCI Forum, where it will present and discuss its intermediate results.

Members of the Forum will have access to all important public documents and will be invited to participate in workshops foreseen at three key stages of the project in order to review draft versions of the:

• User needs and system requirements
• System architecture and interface specifications
• Results of the assessment and validation work

Results of such meetings will be consolidated by the consortium and integrated into the deliverables, with the aim of wider acceptance and implementation of interoperability standards.

Membership of the RCI Forum and attendance to the workshops is free of charge, although forum members will be responsible for their own travel, accommodation and other costs for attending the workshops.
