Standards

The IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) is a leading consensus building organization that nurtures, develops and advances global technologies.

IEEE standards drive the functionality, capabilities and interoperability of a wide range of products and services that transform the way people live, work and communicate. With collaborative leaders in more than 160 countries, we promote innovation, enable the creation and expansion of international markets and help protect health and public safety.

The IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) is one of the IEEE Societies which develops standards under the auspices of the IEEE-SA. This is accomplished through the VTS Standards Committee. This committee drives forward the development and awareness of standards within the Field of Interest of the Vehicular Technology Society. The Committee receives guidance from the VTS Board of Governors.

For more information, suggestions and comments, please contact the VTS Standards Activities Committee Chair. 

Standards Committees

VTS is one of the IEEE Societies that develop standards under the auspices of the IEEE-Standards Association. IEEE standards drive the functionality, capabilities, and interoperability of a broad range of products and services that transform the way people live, work, and communicate.

Within the three technical fields of interest in VTS, there are seven active VT standards committees, led by VP Standards Oliver Holland and the newly formed Standards Development Board, chaired by Yousef Kimiagar. The contact information of all the committee chairs can be found on the committee pages.

The VTS/AV Standards Committee supports the development of technical standards that address safety, efficiency and energy consumption of transportation systems. 

The Standards Activities Committee shall review the state-of-art and recommend the preparation of standards to the Board of Governors of the Vehicular Technology Society.

The VT Traction Power Systems standards committee was established with the mission of serving the rail and transit industry through developing new standards, recommended practices, and guides.
