To increase the road safety in Europe while traffic and driver’s concentration demand also rises, the EC and the automotive industry have committed to halve the life loss by 2010. The GeoNet project will significantly contribute to this goal by implementing a reference specification of a geographic addressing and routing protocol with support for IPv6 to be used to deliver safety messages between cars but also between cars and the roadside infrastructure within a designated destination area.

Design geographical networking communication architecture.
Specify geographical networking communication software modules.
Lead the implementation activities.
Develop emulation environment to test prototype implementations.
Support integration and porting of prototype implementations to different platforms.
Contribute to standardizations, e.g. ETSI TC ITS, IETF, C2C-CC etc.
