FCC Approves Highway Radiosystems

Posted by simoniker on Wednesday December 17, 2003 @12:53PM from the we-interrupt-this-program dept.

prostoalex writes "According to iWon/AP, the FCC has approved a range of radio frequencies to be used on US highways for transmitting important traffic information. The technology is still 5-10 years away from being implemented in cars and on the roads, but the FCC has set aside a special area of the spectrum instead of sharing the frequencies with other applications and devices. As for uses, there's currently a test running at an intersection in McLean, Va., where sensors can automatically warn a motorist when another car is approaching, thus helping to avoid a collision."

Does someone have a decent brakedown of the FM freq allocations? It seems like that space is getting crowded.
