Global System for Telematics (GST) demonstrates results at two-day workshop.

On 27-28 February 2007, the EC-supported, ERTICO – ITS Europe-coordinated “Global System for Telematics” Integrated Project (GST) held its final workshop in Brussels to present and showcase its results. The two-day event took place in the four-star Dolce Conference Centre in La Hulpe, just outside Brussels, and featured an extensive set of presentations and demonstrations of the GST achievements.

The first day consisted of brief presentations by the 7 subprojects and 5 test sites describing the GST concepts, architecture and validation results. On the second day, attendees had the opportunity to test the GST platform in a number of experimental vehicles and computer demonstrations.

The GST consortium has created an open and standardized end-to-end architecture for automotive telematics services, enabling vehicles to communicate with each other and the outside world. Such an open platform also allows vehicle manufacturers, public services and certified companies to provide and distribute their own services to consumers. Subscribers can then have the flexibility and freedom to choose the telematics services that best suit their needs and budget.
