The October 2009 Issue of “Intellidrive Update”, the newsletter of the American co-operative systems initiative, has an article on interoperability and the SAE J2735 communication standard (page 9).

The SAE J2735 standard has been developed by American standardisation body, SAE International (formerly the Society of Automotive Engineers). It is at the final ballot stage and soon to be published, to be followed by final validation through field testing.

The article states that:

“SAE J2735 is an essential component in supporting interoperability, or ensuring that vehicles and roadside equipment are all speaking the same language. SAE J2735 defines message sets, data-frames and data-elements used by applications to exchange data over the Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) / WAVE, as well as other communication protocols.”

It discusses the use of the standard in vehicle-to-vehicle collision avoidance applications. To read the article, see www.transportation.org/.
