Specific role of telecommunications in Intelligent Transport Systems

Dr. Tomas Zelinka

Tomas Zelinka

Abstract

Intelligent Transport Systems solutions typically require selectable level of telecommunications services quality with usually widely spread area coverage. ITS Telecommunications service parameters were re-defined as performance indicators which are tightly linked with the ITS service performance quantification. Wireless data services with reasonable coverage are offered by public wireless mobile services providers, however, mostly no relevant service performance indicators are guaranteed. ITS requirements can be, however, cost-effectively resolved in case the different public and private services are effectively combined. Such solution requires implementation of the flexible system architecture supported by the efficient decision processes. Additionally “Car to Infrastructure” and “Car to Car” communication interconnected with the vehicle on board data network based on the CAN (Controlled Area Network) bus significantly increase potential of the intruders attacks so that  the integration of the relevant telecommunications security treatment has been understood as one of critical topics of the ITS telecommunications solution, as well.

Imagining the Future: Technology Innovation in the Internet Age

Eng. Robert H'obbes' Zakon

ROBERT ZAKON

Abstract

The Internet has enabled an unprecedented evolution in telematics and information systems, and in turn a global revolution in the use of technology and digital citizenry.  Although many see the technologies that have driven this revolution as inventions of the past 1 to 2 decades, quite a few had their genesis before the Internet became mainstream. In exploring the history of the Internet, we see how it has facilitated innovations across all areas of technology and social life, and with a little imagination are perhaps able to get a glimpse of what is to come.

 

Brief Biography

Robert H'obbes' Zakon is a renaissance technologist who enjoys being an entrepreneur, developer, instructor, strategist, integrator, mentor, and Internet evangelist.  He currently serves as co-founder and CTO of a technology consulting and development firm, where he innovates custom Internet-based technology solutions and advises corporations, non-profits and governments on technology, information, and security architectures and infrastructures.  Robert is a former Principal Engineer with the MITRE Corporation (a US-based think-tank), CTO of an Internet consumer portal and application service provider, and Director of a university research lab.  He began authoring Hobbes' Internet Timeline in the early 1990s, and has been cited in thousands of books, magazines, television shows, and other media.  Robert is also a Senior Member of the IEEE, and holds undergraduate and graduate degrees from Case Western Reserve University in Computer Engineering and Science with concentrations in Philosophy and Psychology.

Trends in traffic management for an integrated and sustainable transportation system of tomorrow

Dr. Reinhard Pfliegl

REINHARD PFLIEGL

Abstract

There are a lot  of communalities between America and Europe on  how the problems of the transportation system up to 2050 should be tackled. Both sides have developed strategies and Action Plans to address these issues. Technologies and Systems emerged in the last 20 years are becoming mature to significantly contribute to a safe, integrated and sustainable transportation system in these areas. The presentation will address the major trends in telematics applications with a specific view to organize a seamless, safe and comfortable mobility for passenger and goods in the future.
