Some Facts & Figures
• Road congestion costs amount on average to 1
% of GDP in the EU
• Road transport accounts for 72 % of all
transport -related CO2 emissions, which have
increased by 32 % (1990-2005)
• Road fatalities still amount to 43000 in Europe
and 41000 in US
• 125,000 l of fuel consumed in one week at Le
Mans; efforts now being made to reduce this
level

ICTs in cars:
communications capabilities
• foresee and avoid collisions
• navigate the quickest route to destination
• make use of up-to-the-minute traffic
reports
• identify the nearest available parking slot
and park ….
• minimize carbon emissions
• provide multimedia communications
• development and optimization of new
forms of propulsion, such as hybrid, plugin, electric and fuel cell

Mass deployment of electric cars
(BetterPlace)
• Electric vehicles make environmental, social and economic sense,
especially mid-size
• Solutions for charge spots, battery switch, driver services, back
office
• Technology: easy adaptation to electric powering, EV mass
production technology well established, most infrastructure already
exists
• Substantial reduction of CO2 and urban air pollution, and the
monetary cost of environmental damage
• Standardization essential, but difficulties in balance among
stakeholders, and no consumers, government, NGOs or energy
agencies involved

Global Standards
• Considering:
– New technologies for both car and the ICT communities
– Need to understand requirements and agree on the solutions to
be provided by the network platforms
– Cost of implementing solutions, interoperability issues
– Difference between the life time of a car and the rapid evolution
of relevant ICT technologies (e.g. wireless networks)
• Global standards as key factor for broad penetration
of the new facilities
• Need for collaborations between standardization
bodies to ensure a global quality through different
networks and terminals

ITU-T Focus Group on Car
Communication (FG CarCOM)
(Nov 2009)
• Open to any organization/expert
• Develop a new set of requirements,
specifications, testing for speech
recognition in cars.
• Encourage the participation of other
standards organisations involved in car
and Telecommunications/ICT industries
