Singapore has launched public consultations on the proposed intelligent transport systems (ITS) spectrum framework and standards in the 5.9 GHz band to be adopted by the country, according to Telecompaper.

The spectrum framework and standards consulted will be an enabler for the 918 Land Transport Authority’s (LTA) initiative in the upcoming national ITS developments and deployments, which include self-driving/autonomous vehicles.

The Infocomm Development Authority, IDA, invited local industry players and relevant authorities back in 2014 to form an ITS task force within Singapore’s Telecommunications Standards Advisory Committee (TSAC) to formulate local technical specifications for possible adoption by IDA, which will enable future smart transportation systems in support of Singapore’s smart nation vision.

Interested parties can submit their comments and opinions to IDA by 15 January 2016.
