General editing

[edit]

I've had a go at editing the article in view of the warnings pasted on it until today. I hope I have not changed anything important. I'm a little unclear about the worldwide applications of VII. It seems to me that at the moment it is based firmly on support from the U.S. DOT and ties up with the ITS initiative. Can anyone cast any light on this? Are there VII applications/research/projects outside the U.S. If so, where? There was no reference to the VII Consortium although this seem to be a key body in the area. I'll perhaps put a summary of their concerns in the article.Ipigott 16:40, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced Tag

[edit]

I added an "Unreferenced" Tag to this article (which thus far is mostly my own work). I know the resources are out there, I just haven't had a chance to find available information that I can link to. I know there are numerous documents through the Transportation Research Board (TRB), ITE Journal, and AASHTO; as well as several as-yet unpublished research efforts in the works by public, private, and academic agencies. I'll provide sources as I happen upon them, but welcome others to do so, as well. --Thisisbossi 13:56, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I edited the first few paragraphs to reflect the difference between active safety and VII (VII is just about the communications based applications, it does not include the radar and vision applications currently being deployed). In the most limited sense, VII is a business or deployment model to get the communications out there, the applications are not VII, they run on top, although there is significant disagreement on exactly what the term encompases, often for financial reasons. I hope to edit this more, including some of the history. One thing that I tried to point out is that those involved with VII are very aware of the privacy and 'big brother' issues, and would like to make many functions impossible- however, this is not technically feasible. They must rely on policies (or laws), and hope that they do not change. ILoveKnowledge 05:35, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
