Abstract

Current challenges in mobility and sustainable development are closely related to increasing travel safety, optimizing the use of transport infrastructure, reducing operating and maintenance costs and making public transport more attractive. The proposed solutions to these major challenges depend to a high extent, on political decisions, development of good practices, and also on the innovation and technology introduced through on-going Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) programs and initiatives. This chapter provides an overview on the communication architectures able to support these ITS programs. In order to do so, this chapter presents the current standardization initiatives in the vehicular environment, a description from the telecom point of view of the different ITS services, and finally, a survey on the radio access technologies capable of dealing with such a demanding scenario.
