6224 Telematics Update’s V2X for Safety and Mobility Europe 2013 Conference, to be held in Frankfurt on 20-21 February 2013, will bring together decision makers from OEMs, government, suppliers, manufacturers and road operators, allowing key players in the value chain to gain insights into different strategies that are breaking ground in the European TS landscape.

A line-up of speakers from organisations including 1731 BMW, 6613 European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), 2453 Renault, 4306 Denso Corporation, 570 Scania, 1068 NEC, 6667 Cohda Wireless, RWS and the 1690 European Commission, amongst others, will discuss:

• Optimise V2I architecture to improve traffic management
• Safety - The stimulus for V2X offerings
• Getting started: Integrating vehicles and road side units
• Current ADAS systems converging with V2X
• Commercial vehicles’ first steps towards V2X adoption
• Bringing together infrastructure (V2I) and vehicle to vehicle (V2V) and their differing business cases

Plus many more sessions on topics such as data security, smartphone integration and autonomous driving, with exclusive insights from various field tests.

According to Telematics Update, the traffic congestion in European cities costs nearly US$131.6 billion or about 2 per cent of the EU's GDP every year. In addition to this, one in three road fatalities occurs in urban areas.   Due to this high number of fatalities and the cost involved, cooperative ITS systems based on vehicular communication are being seen as the next important steps to accident free driving.

In the past few years the European Commission along with stakeholders such as automakers, vendors, wireless carriers and local governments and road operators are working in specific Field Operational Tests (FOT) across Europe to standardise and deploy V2V and V2I communication systems.

“More nudging is needed to secure V2X linkage for safety-related investments, which although less sexy would bring even higher benefits across Europe in saving lives, resources and funds”, says Keith Wyeval, Chairman, 288 ITS UK road user charging group. “These road tests will produce empirical data for determining the technologies’ effectiveness at reducing crashes and managing traffic congestion. It will also give us the next necessary steps to prepare for an informed deployment decision of cooperative systems.”
