6th ITS in Europe Congress & Exhibition

Time for Intelligent Move AKKC, Aalborg, Denmark 18-20 June 2007 www.itsineurope.com

Organised by ITS Congress Association, on behalf of ERTICO, in co-operation with ITS Denmark, the County of North Jutland and the City of Aalborg, the Aalborg 2007 Congress was a fantastic opportunity for transport executives and members of the ITS community to meet and make the necessary contacts to move initiatives forward.

Aalborg had chosen "Time for Intelligent Move" as Congress theme, and the event focused on business, organisational and social models for deploying ITS and in particular, the innovative ways of financing mobility. The various sessions showcased concrete ITS solutions for improving road safety, the security of goods, people and vehicles as well as transport efficiency. The concurrent Exhibition was displaying these related innovations.

The Province of Noord-Brabant developed the concept "the informative road", a system that was introduced as a pilot project consisting of various Dynamic Traffic Management (DTM) systems that worked in conjunction with each other. The concept "the Informative Road" is used primarily as a roadside system and is ready for new developments in the field of in-car information. The Informative Road is part of the Dutch test-site of CVIS.

• "First ASIC implementation of ISO TC 204 calm infrared", by Mr. Hannes Stratil, from CVIS partner EFKON AG
   
  The International Standard ISO 21214 is a new ISO Standard for car-to-car and car-to-infrastructure communication via Infrared. This contribution presents the first single chip semiconductor product which has the new standard implemented comprehensively. The infrared communication device handles all CALM inherent issues and provides a standardized, easy-to-implement interface to the outside. The CALM-IR ASIC will be the heart of Efkons new Infrared communication device which will be developed for the European CVIS project.

• "The novel international standard ISO 21214: intelligent transport systems - continuous air interface, long and medium range (CALM) - infrared systems" by Mr. Hannes Stratil, from CVIS partner EFKON AG
   
  An essential key requirement of future ITS communication is the ability to set up "ad-hoc connections" and to transmit KBytes of data in a few milliseconds. The most crucial and time-consuming part in a multinode environment is the link-setup procedure, especially in a free space situation with unpredictable and fast changing link conditions. ISO-CALM Infrared, the new ISO-Standard (ISO 21214) for car-to-car and car-to-infrastructure communication, presents an outstanding solution to this problem. The standard offers a simple method to address other communication partners directly and to communicate with them direction-oriented. This CALM-IR standard is currently validated in the European CVIS Project.
