Technological development opens up for increased communication between vehicles in motion and between vehicles and infrastructure. The CALM standard (Continuous Air Interface for Long and Medium range) will enable such communication. Thus, CALM could also contribute to increased traffic safety and efficiency by enabling increased dynamic traffic information to the drivers and to the driving assistance systems. This opens up the improvementof existing products and the development of new products. Real time updating of input data in products like navigation tools and ISA products (Intelligent Speed Adaptation) is a challenging task, which has not been solvedyet. CALM will represent a significant technological shift toward solvingthis task, and utilizing results from the CVIS project is essential in obtaining this. Developing and utilizing wireless communication solutions are essential in order to refine existing products and develop new ones. Forthe Norwegian situation, an additional essential factor is to develop a dynamic traffic information database, which is available for product and service suppliers. A common information platform which integrates traffic data with information relevant for traffic safety will be developed in the Norwegian research project WiseCar. This platform should be available for both private and public partners in order to support product and service development and refinement. Several national databases will be of importance; databases which cover static information about the infrastructure, dynamic information about incidents, digital maps with point of interest, etc. Two main challenges will be to provide access to the information platform for SMEs and include data from numerous small information suppliers. The requirement specification of the information system will be carried out during spring 2008. For the covering abstract see ITRD E145999
