As reported in last month’s newsletter, the final workshop of the European project, GeoNet, was held in Paris on 29 January 2010. The FP7-funded GeoNet project designed, implemented and tested an IPv6 geonetworking architecture.
The workshop focused predominantly on technical issues, and detailed aspects of the project. It was apparent from the workshop participants that the majority of companies and research centres together with the EU, now realise the importance of the convergence of the research efforts and the creation of standards. The results from the GeoNet project will now be used in future co-operative systems projects.
The website states that at the workshop:
“IPv6 GeoNetworking was presented together with its link with the related ITS development in CAR 2 CAR Communication Consortium, CVIS implementation and ETSI TC ITS standardisation. Moreover the functionalities of IPv6 GeoNetworking were shown in a real system including 3 cars, 2 road-side units and a control centre. A (very simple) enhanced driver awareness application was demonstrated and numerous attendees could enjoy a ride to see the achievement.”
The presentations are now available for download
ITS Radar International will continue to monitor developments in cooperative systems
