A Communications Research Network Seminar
Developments in technology, economics and the environment are resulting in increasing attention being paid to road vehicles and traffic management. Congestion charging and road pricing, satellite navigation, traffic management, communications, in-car entertainment and information are increasingly being viewed as potentially interdependent systems. The increasing use of Information and Communications Technology could open up a vast range of possibilities for how goods and people are transported, and how our transport systems link to each other and with other networks and services. The architecture, standards, interfaces, services and applications now being researched or developed could have a profound effect on the efficiency of transport systems over the next 2-3 decades.The 'Connected Car' seminar will bring together researchers and industry experts in technology, economics, law, policy, regulation and business models. The objective is to review developments in the broad area and to discuss their implications. The format of the seminar is designed to be interactive, allowing delegates from different fields to share their extensive knowledge and expertise and will include presentations from researchers in technology, law, sociology and economics as well as from industry suppliers and policy makers. A more detailed agenda can be found on the CMI events website:
'The Connected Car' is one of a series of events being run by the Communications Research Network (CRN). The results of the seminar will form an integral part of the CRN's Roadmap, making an important contribution to shaping the CRN's own research programme.
This seminar will be of vital interest to car manufacturers and component suppliers, communication network operators and service providers, major users, investors, regulators, policy makers and researchers working in this complex field.
We would be delighted if you are able to accept this invitation to participate in the CRN. If you are unable to attend, please feel free to nominate a colleague and pass this e-mail on to them. Please note that places are limited, so early registration is advisable.
The cost for attending this event, including dinner in a Cambridge College, is 250 + VAT (293.75). However, we offer a reduced rate for academics and for those who wish to attend only part of this event.
