The US Department of Transportation (USDoT) is seeking public comment on how Vehicle to Everything (V2X) technology should be integrated into the transport environment.
The organisation says it intends to maintain the priority use of 5.9Ghz spectrum for transportation safety communications. It points out that the automotive industry and local authorities “are already deploying V2X technology and actively utilising all seven channels of the 5.9 GHz band” and says that technology such as Cellular-V2X (C-V2

It points out that the automotive industry and local authorities “are already deploying V2X technology and actively utilising all seven channels of the 5.9 GHz band” and says that technology such as Cellular-V2X (C-V2X) and 5G are also in the mix.
In particular, USDoT says it would like thoughts on “issues ranging from the use of alternative and emerging communications technologies to support V2X, to the challenges associated with achieving interoperability while accommodating technological change”.

ITS America is calling for input from ITS professionals worldwide to complete a 10-minute survey focusing on ITS deployment in developing and emerging economies. The results will be used to update the content of the PIARC World Road Association ITS Handbook and to help transform the contents it into a series of web-based modules on key ITS topics. Those wanting to participate in the survey should go to: www.surveygizmo.com/s3/1228759/PIARC
EENA, the European Emergency Number Association, announces a data-sharing partnership with Waze, the free, real-time crowd-sourced traffic and navigation app powered by the drivers.
Waze users who drive with the app turned on passively contribute traffic and other road data to other Waze users. They can also actively share road reports on incidents that could affect others.
The project aims to evaluate how this crowd-sourced anonymous data can be used in emergency management to improve response opera
The Linux Foundation has formed the Urban Computing Foundation to allow companies like Google and Uber to collaborate on open source software to improve mobility.
Linux, a non-profit organisation, says the software can also be used to improve safety, traffic congestion and energy consumption in connected cities.
Jim Zemlin, executive director of Linux, says: “The Urban Computing Foundation is poised to provide the compatibility tools and resources for developers to create software that can map out a
