FP6 project final workshop on the benefit of ITS to Satelitte Communications
26 May 2010 - 27 May 2010
Date: 26-27 May 2010
Venue: The Volvo Centre, Hunderenveldlaan 10, 1082 Brussels, Belgium
Cost: Registration and attendance are completely free.
Registrations are open for the final SISTER (Satcoms in Support of Transport on European Roads) open workshop on 26-27 May Brussels, Belgium. The SISTER consortium will present and show the use of satellite communication in ITS applications such as:
• Emergency call
• Road user charging
• Dangerous and valuable goods management
• Digital map updates
The workshop has brought together a wide range of experts and presentations relevance both to the ITS, space and transport sectors.
This event is an opportunity to bring ITS, transport and satellite communication communities together to discuss the future deployment of satellite communication within ITS. As an ITS or Sat Comms professional our key note speakers will set the scene on the potential for Sat Comms to support ITS.
