VII CONSORTIUM
VIIC OverviewVII Consortium
– Non-profit corporation open to all vehicle manufacturers
– Incorporated November, 2004– Cooperative Agreement between USDOT and VIIC is in
place– 6 Members: Ford, Nissan, BMW, Honda, DCX, VW– Design in-vehicle equipment & applications (non-safety)

VII CONSORTIUM
Near-Term ActivitiesContributing to a Proof of Concept Test
–Cooperating with the USDOT and its contractors to develop end-to-end VII system requirements
–Designing on-board equipment including DSRC radios, driver interfaces, and vehicle interfaces
–Developing test applications that will run in vehicles and the network
–Applications include those intended to improve safety and mobility, and facilitate commercial activities

VII CONSORTIUM
Proof of Concept Test
Planned for 2006 and 2007–Equipment, application, and test environment
development has started and will continue through 2006
–Equipment will be installed in a variety of vehicles
–Test activities will be deployed in a selected area of Southeast Michigan for use in 2007

VII CONSORTIUM
Contributions to Weather InformationCollection of Probe Data
– SAE J2735 standard for collecting vehicle probe data– First priority given to information that will contribute to
Traveler Information
Cooperating with MDOT in their information integration project– Accepting guidance on what vehicle probe data will be
most beneficial to their project– Providing guidance on what integrated information will be
most beneficial to VIIC applications

VII CONSORTIUM
Uses of Weather InformationDeveloping applications that will use weather information
– Applications are being created to test the end-to-end system including the complete loop from collecting probe data to improving vehicle safety and mobility based on using information gathered from probe data
– Applications under development will present Traveler Information and Signage to vehicle drivers, and provide dynamic route guidance
– Both applications will incorporate all dynamic information including weather
