Abstract
This document allocates 75 megahertz of spectrum at 5.850- 5.925 GHz to the mobile service for use by Dedicated Short Range Communications (``DSRC'') systems operating in the Intelligent Transportation System (``ITS'') radio service. ITS services are expected to improve traveler safety, decrease traffic congestion, facilitate the reduction of air pollution, and help to conserve vital fossil fuels. DSRC systems are being designed that require a short range wireless link to transfer information between vehicles and roadside systems. We are also adopting basic technical rules establishing power limits, and unwanted emission limits for DSRC operations. These decisions will further the goals of the United States (``U.S.'') Congress and the Department of Transportation (``DOT'') to improve the efficiency of the Nation's transportation infrastructure and will facilitate the growth and development of the ITS industry.
