IEEE 802.11p
The information on this page is from Wikipedia, which states that 802.11 is a set of IEEE standards that regulate wireless networking transmission methods. They are commonly used today in their 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g versions to provide wireless connections in the home, office and some commercial properties.
Wireless Access for the Vehicular Environment
802.11p, the IEEE standard in the 802.11 family and also referred to as Wireless Access for the Vehicular Environment (WAVE), is the primary standard that addresses and enhances Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) applications. These applications include data exchange between high-speed vehicles and between these vehicles and the roadside infrastructure in the licensed ITS band of 5.9 GHz (5.85-5.925 GHz).
802.11p will be used as the groundwork for DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communications), a US Department of Transportation project – which will be emulated elsewhere - looking at vehicle- based communication networks, particularly for applications such as toll collection, vehicle safety services, and commerce transactions via cars. The ultimate vision is a nationwide network that enables communications between vehicles and roadside access points or other vehicles. The work builds on its predecessor, ASTN a2213-O3.
Status
The 802.11p Task Group is still active, and the official
IEEE 802.11 Work Plan predictions for the formal 802.11p standard is
scheduled to be published in July 2008.
