Hi Gary,
Sorry I didn't get the word out in time...I should have just posted it to the reflector, but last week was just too hectic.
I believe there's a CVRIA workshop in a couple of weeks in San Francisco that folks on the call may want to know about. Do any of you on this email list want me to post that meeting announcement on the 802.11 REG reflector?
Do you want to talk about it on the Friday call?
Thanks,
Jim

Subject: Opportunity to participate in DSRC testing
Jim -
I was trying to get to this during the meeting today, but there was never an opportunity. Please add this to the meeting minutes if possible, or other send the information by Reflector.
DOT is sponsoring a DSRC "plugfest" (see link below). The upcoming training session on January 29-30 will be a good opportunity for people to learn about DSRC, DSRC applications, and use of all 7 DSRC channels. Here is an excerpt from the invitation:
"The U.S. Department of Transportation's (USDOT) will be hosting Connected Vehicle PlugFests to conduct vendor-to-vendor connected vehicle device testing. These test sessions help to ensure that devices meet the base standard requirements and level of interoperability necessary for the Southeast Michigan Connected Vehicle Test Bed Deployment 2014 Project. The first of these PlugFests will occur at Turner Fairbank Highway Research Center in Mclean, Virginia on January 29 - 30, 2014. Additional PlugFests will be scheduled throughout the year and across the country. Each event will feature two tracks: a classroom training track and a laboratory testing track. Each PlugFest is open to all interested connected vehicle research parties..."
There will also be a DSRC test bed in SE Michigan that will be available for anyone to do testing. The plans are for the test bed to support Vehicle-to-Vehicle applications on DSRC Channel 172, use of the Control Channel and 4 Service Channels, and emergency services on Channel 184. This SE Michigan test bed provides a place to do DSRC development and testing for any interested party.
