Lilee Systems Experts to Present on Transportation Interconnectedness at the 1st Annual International Connected Vehicle Conference
SANTA CLARA, CA, Dec 10, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Lilee Systems, the leading provider of advanced communication
systems designed for the rail and rail transit industries, today
announced that the Honorable Norman Y. Mineta, former U.S. Secretary
of Transportation and Board of Director for Lilee Systems, and Jon T.
Adams, Vice President of Strategic Development, Lilee Systems will be
delivering featured presentations during the 1st Annual
ACM/ISS/IFAC/TRB International Conference on Connected Vehicles
(ICCVE 2012). The conference, to be held December 12-16, 2012 at the
China National Convention Center in Beijing, China, is the first-ever
Connected Vehicles conference that gathers pertinent communities
together to explore the latest innovations and advances on connected
vehicles.
Mr. Mineta's keynote presentation will discuss vehicle-to-vehicle
safety technology and how it can help drivers avoid or reduce the
severity of four out of five unimpaired vehicle crashes. He will
explore how the use of technology can dramatically reduce hazards
including an impending collision at a blind intersection, a vehicle
changing lanes in other vehicles' blind spots or rear collisions when
vehicles are stopped ahead.
"In the United States, we have launched a yearlong safety program of
crash-avoidance technology," said Mineta. "So far, the results have
been impressive. At an international scale, we're on the cusp of a
new revolution in transportation safety and I expect the brainpower
at this conference to help us find new ways of addressing the
difficult problems we face."
Mr. Adams will present on the recent standards recommendations
created by the IEEE 802.15.4p Task Group for robust wireless rail and
rail transit communications that he founded. In his presentation,
Green Signals Ahead: Standards-Based Wireless Communications for
Freight and Passenger Rail and Rail Transit, Adams will share how
wireless communications standards between trains or locomotives and
track infrastructure can help onboard systems to ensure that trains
do not 'exceed limits authority,' exceed speed restrictions, endanger
trackside workers or move through a misaligned track switch as well
as meet the Federal mandate for rail safety.
"The comprehensive team collaboration of the IEEE 802.15.4p Task
Group has made significant progress in establishing communications
standards that will better the safety of passengers, workers and
communities along the rail lines, worldwide," said Adams. "In the
future we hope these standards can also evolve to encompass
communication to bridges, overpasses or other infrastructure that can
impact the safety of fast moving trains."
Adams and Lilee Systems are working with Lonts Inc., a leading
digitized communication platform infrastructure and service provider
in China. With a strong resource advantage across China, Taiwan, and
United States, Lonts has solid research/manufacturing capabilities,
and an advanced management system to ensure smooth logistics, supply
and delivery for unparalleled service and value.
As the first annual International Connected Vehicles Conference,
ICCVE 2012 is a five-day conference with more than 2,000 experts,
practitioners and policy makers from around the world. Each will
present on the latest innovations and advances regarding connected
vehicles, share experiences and insights, forecast trends and
opportunities and discuss the policy, economics and social
implications of connected vehicles. For more information, please
