Implementation Road Maps Working Group holds Deployment Workshop

Creation date: 15 November 2007

14 November event in Brussels discusses current status and future trends of eSafety deployment.

The eSafety Forum’s Implementation Road Maps Working Group, together with the eSafety Support project, organised the eSafety Deployment Workshop on 14 November 2007 at the Diamant Centre in Brussels.

Attended by over 80 eSafety stakeholders, the event took a closer look at the status of eSafety today and discussed how eSafety actors can best organise their deployment efforts for tomorrow. It featured updates about eSafety deployment activities in Europe, as well as Japan and the US. The agenda also included examples of best practices from emerging markets, the OEMs, and infrastructure providers. The highlight of the event was the historic presentation of the inaugural eSafety Deployment Award.

Break-out sessions allowed participants to learn from each other in order to speed up deployment. They also discussed technological synergies and economies of scale, policy issues, and field operational tests.
The main conclusions noted that the trends, problems, and solutions related to deployment are global. Stakeholder cooperation was also seen as essential to address common concerns and accelerate overall deployment.
