Ballot+++ ENDS 11AUG +++ motion to approve forwarding of 802.11p PAR to
NesCom
Bob,
Your first assumption is correct i.e. "but will simply
be providing connectivity and the safety issues will be addressed by other
standards or specifications that use the provided vehicular wireless
access". This was the sentiment of the group. Indeed IEEE groups P1609
(Layers 3 and above for Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE)
communications) & P1556 (security for WAVE systems) are working closely
at the upper layers with the National Public Safety Telecommunications
Council on public safety
requirements.
Therefore, to address your concerns with your good
suggestion the corrections to the paragraph 19 would
read:
19. ADDITIONAL
NOTES: The primary use of the amendment
will be in support of surface transportation safety applications. Some
examples of such applications are: intersection collision warning, stopped
vehicle hazard warning, emergency vehicle approach warning, work zone
warning, and road hazard warning. The standard will not address the safety
issues of the cited example
applications above, but
will be providing connectivity where the safety issues will be addressed by
other standards or specifications that use the provided vehicular wireless
access.
If this is suitably accepted, then it would be added to
the submitted PAR for NesCom.
Respectfully,
Stuart

Comments:
1. I congratulate the study group on producing
thoughtful and detailed responses to the Five Criteria.
2. PAR item 19 -- The additional information
raises a concern as to why the provided text was not included in PAR item
18. If I understand the nature of the project correctly, the 802.11
standard itself will not address the safety issues of the cited possible
applications (e.g., collision avoidance), but will simply be providing
connectivity and the safety issues will be addressed by other standards or
specifications that use the provided vehicular wireless access. If
this is correct, I would recommend addition of a sentence to this effect to
the note in 19. If it is not correct, the paragraph in 19 should be
moved to the explanation field of 18 as an appropriate red flag of the
intended use of the standard.
