Automotive Weather Information Dissemination
Audio: Weather Radios
Equipped with NOAA 7- Channel National Weather Radio (NWR)
2 X 16 Dot Matrix Display

Automotive Weather Information Dissemination Visual: Weather Map
» Essential information concerning road and atmospheric conditions
» Notifies the driver via audio and visual on navigation system
» Challenge: Fewer than 20% of OEM vehicles will have navigation by 2010/11 (Source:TRG)
» Growing interest with vehicle OEMs to display weather information in navigation systems
Weather Threat Matrix – Delphi Demonstration 2006– Weather threats are delivered by XM satellite provider to vehicle

Background:Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) for the NWR
SAME: A digital code sent with warnings
SAME includes: Type of event, applicable geographic for event, and how long event is valid: Tornado Warnings, Local emergencies, Evacuation
SAME offers user selectable county codes to ensure you only receive alerts for your area
The Consumer Electronics Association CEA Public Alert radio logo appears on NWR products that meet CEA certification and technical standards
July 1, 2007 Indiana regulation: Requires manufacturers to build mobile homes with the weather radios installed

Challenges: Implementation of NWR with SAME in Vehicle Radio Systems Mobile NWR systems may require GPS
Vehicle OEMs – Minimal awareness of the NWR SAME/Public Alert features
– Coordination of feature with multiple radio suppliers
» Major vehicle OEMs have 4 to 6 radio suppliers
– Research, development, user interface, design, testing and validation
» Potential timing CT
