§518 — Title 23 Highways | U.S. Code

Summary

By July 6, 2016, the Secretary must post on a Department of Transportation website a public report that reviews dedicated short‑range communications (DSRC) technology and apps from research, points out known and possible gaps, and lays out a recommended path to deploy DSRC based on that review and gap analysis. The report must also explain how the proposed deployment fits with the National ITS Architecture and ITS Standards and must not favor any single radio frequency for vehicle‑to‑infrastructure use. The Secretary must have the National Research Council and an independent subject‑matter expert group review that report.
