IEEE 1609 Standards

The IEEE 1609 Standards are a set of technical guidelines that enable reliable, secure communication between vehicles and infrastructure using Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC). Designed for connected vehicle systems, these standards ensure data such as traffic information or safety alerts is transmitted quickly and safely. They define how messages are formatted, how devices interact, and how to protect data privacy, ultimately supporting safer, more efficient transportation networks by allowing vehicles to "talk" to each other and their environment in real-time.
