Connected Vehicle Reference Implementation Architecture Workshop; 
Notice of Public Meeting

AGENCY: ITS Joint Program Office, Office of the Assistant Secretary for 
Research and Technology, U.S. Department of Transportation.

ACTION: Notice.

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

    The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) Intelligent 
Transportation System Joint Program Office (ITS JPO) will host a free 
Connected Vehicle Reference Implementation Architecture (CVRIA) public 
workshop meeting to present and seek input on candidate Connected 
Vehicle (CV) interfaces for standardization. The public meeting will 
take place February 19, 2014, 8:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m. PST and February 20, 
2014, 8:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. PST at the Holiday Inn Golden Gateway Hotel, 
1500 Van Ness Ave, San Francisco, California 94109.
    To register for the CVRIA Workshop, please visit www.itsa.org/cvriaregistration.
    The workshop is designed to solicit feedback from stakeholders who 
will be involved with the development, implementation, or operation of 
CV technologies and applications. The results of an initial analysis 
will be presented and feedback sought during this public workshop. A 
preliminary draft plan will be provided to registrants before the 
workshop in order to facilitate technical discussions. Participants are 
encouraged to sign up early to ensure that they receive the read-ahead 
materials in a timely fashion. The workshop will focus on discussion of 
the CV applications captured in the CVRIA; the interfaces identified 
and defined in the CVRIA; a crosswalk between candidate interfaces and 
standards; standards gap analysis and emerging standards needs; and 
USDOT policy in pursuing standardization. The project is sponsored and 
led by the USDOT's ITS JPO as part of ITS Architecture and Standards 
and Systems Engineering and Test Bed Program efforts.
