SHORT RANGE MICROWAVE COMMUNICATION FOR RTI APPLICATIONS. 1ST SEMINAR ON DATA ACQUISITION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUES AND THEIR ASSESSMENT FOR ROAD TRANSPORT (DACAR), HELD AT CENTRE ALBERT BORSCHETTE, 36 RUE FROISSART, BRUSSELS, 6TH SEPTEMBER 1989

This paper discusses the possibility of using a 60 GHz short range microwave communication system for road transport information (RTI) applications to increase road safety and transport efficiency. A complete operational system would include: (1) vehicle equipment; (2) roadside beacons; (3) traffic monitoring and directing elements; (4) traffic information processing equipment. The system would use links between different vehicles and links between vehicles and roadside installations. To minimise the cost of such an RTI system, it would be important to use low cost mass production techniques for the transmitter and receiver units, and the total cost of creating the system infrastructure and ease of installation would also be important. A 60 GHz communication system would have the following advantages: (1) small size and thus easy installation; (2) very limited range, thus negligible interference between channels; (3) ability to work in all weather conditions; (4) use of a frequency band already allocated to mobile systems; (5) sufficient bandwidth and data rates for its communication links; (6) suitability for data transmission and ranging; (7) great flexibility and versatility. For the covering abstract of the seminar see IRRD 829799.
