Communications: The use
of mobile radio on land, sea, and air, including cellular radio,
two-way radio, and one-way radio, with applications to dispatch and
control vehicles, mobile radiotelephone, radio paging, and status
monitoring and reporting. Related areas include spectrum usage, component
radio equipment such as cavities and antennas, computer control for
radio systems, digital modulation and transmission techniques,
mobile radio circuit design, radio propagation for vehicular communications,
effects of ignition noise and radio frequency interference, and consideration
of the vehicle as part of the radio operating environment.
Transportation
Systems:
The use of electronic technology for the control of ground transportation
systems including, but not limited to, traffic aid systems; traffic
control systems; automatic vehicle identification, location,
and monitoring systems; automated transport systems, with single
and multiple vehicle control; and moving walkways or people-movers.
Vehicular Electronics:
The use of electronic or electrical components and systems for
control, propulsion, or auxiliary functions, including but not
limited to, electronic controls for engineer, drive train, convenience,
safety, and other vehicle systems; sensors, actuators, and microprocessors
for onboard use; electronic fuel control systems; vehicle electrical
components and systems collision avoidance systems; electromagnetic
compatibility in the vehicle environment; and electric vehicles
and controls.
