ACMA ENABLES INTELLIGENT TRANSPORT SYSTEMS
ACMA have introduced the Radiocommunications (Intelligent Transport Systems) Class Licence 2017 to facilitate and regulate the vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-person or vehicle-to-infrastructure communications in autonomous vehicles and other technology assisted transport innovations.
ITS are expected to make roads smarter, safer and cleaner through the use of communications technologies, said ACMA acting Chair, James Cameron.
The new Class Licence will facilitate the rollout of the latest transportation communications technology, putting Australia on par with other nations adopting ITS.
Allocations in the 5.9Ghz band are consistent with other major automotive markets, reducing technical and economical barriers to engineering and manufacturing ITS technologies for Australia.
