ITS Joint Program Office; Core System Requirements Walkthrough 
and Architecture Proposal Review Meetings and Webinars; Notice of 
Public Meeting

AGENCY: Research and Innovative Technology Administration, U.S. 
Department of Transportation.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    On June 13, 2011, a notice announcing two free public meetings with 
accompanying webinars was to have taken place later this month and in 
September 2011. The dates of the meetings and webinars were incorrect. 
The USDOT is publishing this notice to correct the dates.
    The USDOT ITS Joint Program Office (ITS JPO) will host two free 
public meetings with accompanying webinars to discuss the Vehicle to 
Infrastructure (V2I) Core System Requirements and Architecture 
Proposal. The first meeting, June 28-30, 2011, 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. at the 
University of California--Washington Center, 1608 Rhode Island Ave., 
NW., Washington, DC 20036; (202) 974-6200, will walk through the review 
of System Requirements Specification and Architecture Proposal. The 
second meeting will be a review of the System Requirements 
Specification and Architecture Proposal and will take place on 
September 20-22, 2011, 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. at the San Jose Garden Inn, 
1740 North First Street, San Jose, CA 95112; (408) 793-3300. To learn 
more about the ITS JPO, visit the program's Web site at http://www.its.dot.gov.
    The V2I Core System will support applications for safety, mobility, 
and sustainability for various modes of transportation including 
passenger vehicles, transit, and heavy trucks. This is the successor to 
work originally performed under the Vehicle Infrastructure Integration 
Proof of Concept (VII POC). The Core System supports a distributed, 
diverse set of applications.
    Connected Vehicle research at the USDOT is a multimodal program 
that involves using wireless communication between vehicles, 
infrastructure, and personal communications devices to improve safety, 
mobility, and environmental sustainability. The program is the major 
research initiative of the ITS JPO which is currently working with the 
eight major automotive companies to develop vehicle crash warning 
applications using Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) 
technology. In addition, the ITS JPO is working to develop a myriad of 
applications which will use data collected from connected vehicles that 
can improve safety, mobility and sustainability. There is also 
connected vehicle-related research in the areas of standards, data 
collection, certification, policy, road weather, and public 
transportation.
    Persons planning to attend the first public meeting should send 
their full name, organization, and business e-mail address to Adam 
Hoops at ITS America at [email protected] by June 24, 2011. Persons 
planning to attend the second public meeting should send their full
