One of the biggest hopes for moving goods quickly and cost-effectively around the world, while beefing up security, rests with a little-known standard named WAVE and an equally little known Federal Communications Commission (FCC) decision of December 2003.
WAVE stands for Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments and represents the convergence of dedicated short-range communication technology (DSRC)-of the sort already in place for pass-through toll collection-with the Internet and data-based computing. It will be the underpinning of a new device called a transceiver, now under development by a consortium of transponder manufacturers, which will allow two-way communication from your vehicle to the roadside
