This article considers past and present European research into communications characteristics for transport telematics applications. The background for the work is derived from the European Commission's DRIVE/Transport Telematics programs and research projects, and CEN TC278 activities. The prospect that a single media cannot meet all the current applications requirements is supported by consideration of key services that have different communications requirements. However, media selection minimization and a migration path for homogeneous implementation of current research solutions are expostulated. The article concludes by questioning a defaulting media selection against our social consciences for matching media to requirements. The article is aimed at a readership with some technical knowledge and should be of interest to transport authorities and manufacturers intending to tackle the problems of implementing transport telematics systems.
