Objective
-
Establishing a worldwide cooperating community network with common interests for a harmonised 79 GHz automotive radar frequency allocation and regulation
-
Speeding up of the international rulemaking work in the important key-countries
-
Advanced Real-Time Congestion Management System
-
Generating worldwide awareness regarding the need for a globally available, harmonised automotive radar frequency band for mid and near range automotive applications
-
Dissemination of the strategic research agenda that clearly states the 79 GHz band as the frequency allocation for automotive radar applications
-
Coordination and synchronization of the 79 GHz stakeholder activities (from 2nd Tier to OEM)
-
Approaching the major administrations of the NAFTA (key-country USA), APT (key-country Japan) and BRICS (key-country China) regions and start or speed up the 79 GHz rulemaking process by appropriate meetings, conferences and activity coordination of both local interested parties in the respective country and the international 79 GHz platform group.
Description
The 79 GHz coordination and support action aims to establish and speed up the worldwide harmonized frequency allocation for automotive radar systems in the frequency range 77 GHz to 81 GHz (79 GHz) by country specific activities and a global Automotive Radio Regulations Expert Group (GARREG).
In February 2014, the recommendation ITU-R M.2057 (“Systems characteristics of automotive radars operating in the frequency band 76-81 GHz for intelligent transport systems applications”) containing the technical characteristics of high resolution automotive radar systems has been approved. This milestone will boost the ongoing country specific activities which are currently mainly focused on USA, Brazil, China and India.
Inputs

​
​
Project Struggles
-
Lack of OEM Awareness
-
Competition amongst the communication protocols
Project Processes
During the period of prime activity, the project was focused on the development of the chip under Bosch. Now after the development process, it needs proving grounds for sufficient publicity and acceptance in the OEM consortium.
Project Status
The project concluded on 2014 and since then, it has been linking for partners to collaborate with.
