FCC to Move Forward on Auto Safety Spectrum Rules

traffic communication

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is set to vote on final rules to integrate advanced communications technologies into intelligent transportation systems (ITS).

According to a press release issued by the Commission in mid-July, the new rules would allow in-vehicle and roadside units to operate cellular-vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) technology in the 5.9 GHz spectrum. C-V2X technology supports “direct communications between vehicles, roadside infrastructure, and other road users…to facilitate…non-line-of-sight awareness, notice of changing driving conditions, and automated driving.”

The new rules would also codify C-V2X technical parameters, including power and emission limits, and prioritize safety-of-life communications. Finally, the rules would set a two-year timeline for phasing out the use of dedicated short-range communications (DSRC)-based technologies.
