OmniAir Consortium®, the leading industry association promoting interoperability and certification for ITS, tolling, and connected vehicles, has published its technical roadmap to guide the organization’s workstream on conformance and interoperability testing programs over the next five years.

The OmniAir Technical Roadmap identifies priorities for developing program scopes, drafting test cases, and other technical work to support OmniAir’s testing and certification programs for wireless communications technologies in transportation.

Approved at the OmniAir Board of Directors June Meeting, this roadmap identifies and prioritizes technical workstreams across OmniAir’s Working Groups and Sub-Working Groups in the following areas:

  • Certification Policy
  • V2X Technology
  • Roadside Infrastructure
  • Cybersecurity & SCMS
  • Safety Applications 
  • Tolling & Emerging Payment Technologies
  • Road Usage Charge (RUC)

OmniAir’s Technical Roadmap identifies priorities for technical work, including, C-V2X aftermarket safety devices, 5G-V2X (Release 16), certifying V2X safety applications, and 3rd party mobile payment applications for tolling. In addition, the document outlines priorities for adapting OmniAir certification programs for standards in Asia and Europe.

OmniAir Working Groups will also update existing LTE-V2X and RFID tolling certification programs to ensure that OmniAir Certified devices conform to the latest and most relevant industry standards.

“OmniAir is committed to ensuring the availability of trusted communications technologies for transportation through testing and certification,” said Jason M. Conley, Executive Director for OmniAir Consortium. “This technical roadmap lays out an ambitious agenda to test and certify the latest connected mobility and tolling technologies.”

“This is an exciting time to be engaged with OmniAir and to help shape the future of connected vehicles and tolling,” said Mike Brown, Institute Engineer at Southwest Research Institute. “One of the best parts of working with OmniAir is seeing the efforts of your work fulfilled, such as launching a new certification program for LTE-V2X-based RSU and OBU devices.”

Participation in OmniAir Working Groups is open to member representatives of all OmniAir Members. We seek engineers, software developers, and cybersecurity practitioners from across government, industry, and academia with expertise in ITS, tolling, and connected vehicles. 

OmniAir will host sessions in August and September with each of the OmniAir Working Groups and invited stakeholders on the roadmap.
