The Fully Networked Car Workshop

Geneva, Switzerland, 6-7 March 2013

 

The Eighth Fully Networked Car workshop, organized jointly by ITU, ISO and the IEC, will be held 6-7 March 2013, in association with Geneva's International Motor Show.

 

Last year the event attracted more than 100 experts from around the world, and covered a series of interactive discussions on the need for standardization for electric vehicles, driver distraction and vehicle safety, ITS (Intelligent Transportation System) communications, and standards for cooperative ITS systems.  Participants also gained insight into the challenges and opportunities that are present in under-developed markets.

The 2013 FNC will also cover further developments in these areas and any new solutions or challenges that have arisen since 2012.  In addition, we hope that participants will be treated to informal tours of several exhibits on the show floor.

Accessibility and the contribution of International Standards

Geneva, Switzerland, 3-4 November 2010

 

Accessibility is the degree to which a product, device, service, environment or facility is usable by as many people as possible, including by persons with disabilities. Its importance is signified by the fact that the number of persons with disabilities, either congenital, acquired or as a result of age is estimated to be around 650 million worldwide. International standardization can be a powerful tool for strengthening accessibility in all these areas by setting the same standards around the world for accessible products, devices, services, environments and facilities.

 

The World Standards Cooperation (WSC) brings together the three leading international standards bodies, namely the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
