Achieving Interoperability in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) With Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC)

The FHWA published a notice in the Federal Register on January 6, 1997 (62 FR 791), in which the agency requested comments on three items of concern relating to the implementation of dedicated short range communication (DSRC) systems specified in the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) National Architecture. These issues are paraphrased as follows: (1) Should the FHWA require that DSRC systems purchased with Federal-aid highway funding meet draft standard specifications? (2) Should the FHWA require that DSRC systems purchased with Federal-aid highway funding meet an escalating interoperability formula (e.g., start with national interoperability of all commercial vehicle operations (CVO) applications and gradually transition stepwise over time to national interoperability of all federally-funded DSRC applications)? (3) Should a single DSRC standard be developed for all applications in ITS projects with Federal-aid highway funding? The comment period for this notice was scheduled to close on February 1, 1997. The FHWA solicits further public comment on this issue; therefore, it is extending the comment period until January 27, 1998.
