Samenvatting
This paper describes the organisational context and the approach being adopted towards the achievement of pan-European standardisation for Advanced Transport Telematics (ATT) Communications. The paper provides a brief overview of ATT applications that require the use of short range communication links, stressing the importance of defining a pan-European standard that will enable inter-operability of equipment and encourage Europe-wide implementations. The work being carried out by CEN Technical Committee TC/278 Working group 9, on the definition of standards requirements for the Dedicated Short Range Communication Link, is also described, along with a commentary on the significance of this work, in relation to ATT applications.
