MDSS Communications
–Current systems rely
on widely spaced RWIS stations, this allows data collection on all roadways covered by
fleet vehicles – this is the real advantage of this application
–Multi-modal
impact
–Overlaps with AERIS
applications
•Key data and
communication needs discussion points
–2-way communications
with fleet (fleet as specialized probe and directions to driver), not just comm. TO
vehicles
•Key research
needs
–Best communications
media to meet requirements at lowest cost
•How close can this
