The International Task Force on Vehicle-Highway Automation will hold its tenth annual meeting on October 7-8, 2006 in London, England. The meeting is hosted by the U.K. Department for Transport and the U.K. Highways Agency, in cooperation with the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders. The meeting will occur just prior to the opening of the ITS World Congress in London.
The purpose of this invitation-only meeting is to provide a forum for information exchange and discussion among researchers, government officials, and the private sector regarding ongoing programs to develop advanced driving assistance systems and automated highway systems. The task force uniquely takes a "big picture" approach, knowing that technical symposia regularly address the technological underpinnings of such systems, and examines ways in which the government authorities, the infrastructure (both electronics and concrete), and the vehicle industry can collaborate / cooperate to most effectively offer these services to drivers. Cooperative intelligent vehicle-highway systems are a key focus, because it is only through cooperative systems that the significant goal of congestion relief can be met. Safety and driver comfort are also important areas of focus. |
