The 79 GHz consortium, which is holding its first Plenary Meeting in Borås, Sweden, next week on 10 May, 2012, has issued an invitation to the event.

The 79 GHz support action was launched on 1 July 2011 with the aim of establishing an international platform to define, organise, coordinate and manage the worldwide activities of all the 79 GHz stakeholders.

At the plenary meeting, the consortium will present an overview of its achievements and of the work that has been carried on at global level, in countries where we aim to achieve the same regulation as already adopted by the 1690 European Commission in Decision 2004/545/EC - which means with same emission power specification and frequency parameters.

79 GHz activities with vehicle manufacturers and automotive supplier associations will also be brought to the table, and we will present the latest results from the Mosarim EU Project, as well as radar bandwidth requirements for new ADAS functions.

With this Plenary Meeting, the 79 GHz consortium says it wishes not only to present the progress of the work done, but also to foster discussions among stakeholders.

Around 90 per cent of road fatalities occur in emerging and developing countries. Here, the mixture of population growth and higher numbers of vehicles due to rising incomes are proving a deadly combination, as infrastructure and regulatory environment have difficulty keeping pace.

I was asked recently to write a paper on the technology-oriented future of transport. To paraphrase, I started with: "The goal of European policy-makers is to establish a transport system which meets society's economic, social and environmental needs, satisfying in parallel a rising dema

    January 30, 2012
    The logic supporting a cross-border enforcement Directive for the European Union (EU) is both detailed and compelling. The White Paper on European transport policy published in 2001 included the ambitious objective of reducing by 50 per cent by 2010 the number of people killed on the roads of the EU. But since 2005 the reduction in the number of road deaths has been slowing down: overall, the period from 2001 until 2009 saw the number of fatalities decrease by 36 per cent. According to Community indicators,

    Christos Economou, Deputy Head of Unit dealing with land transport within the European Commission’s DG MOVE, describes a new framework for road charging in Europe to Jason Barnes. Within the European Union (EU), two Directives shape the legislative framework on road charging. Directive 1999/62/EC sets up a number of rules to make sure that national road charging schemes do not distort competition on the internal market or discriminate between hauliers. It is misleadingly called ‘Eurovignette’ after the comm
