The meeting will be held in the LaSalle Room at 

480 L'Enfant Plaza, Washington, D. C. 20024

Named after our capitol's city planner, Pierre Charles L'Enfant, the hotel shares the same stateliness, gleaming granite and graciousness that distinguish Washington D. C. from other international cities. From the airy lobby to the rooftop pool, it truly has it all. Including location. Loews L'Enfant Plaza Hotel is only steps from the Air and Space Museum, the Smithsonian, the Vietnam War Memorial and the Mall.

IEEE Vehicular Technology/Land Transportation

 

Standard for Motor Vehicle Event Data Recorders (MVEDRs) - Amendment 1: Brake and Electronic Control Unit (ECU) Electronic Fault Code Data Elements

Amendment

PAR APP: Mar 25, 2004

 

The scope of this project is to develop an amendment for brake and transmission electronic control units that requires units to store a full history of electronic fault codes that are time stamped using a recognized clock synchronized with other on-board motor vehicle event data recording devices.

Despite years of productive worldwide research and development there is currently no defined, independent standard for electronic fault codes in heavy vehicles used in the highway mode of transportation. Each vehicle OEM and aftermarket vendor builds some control into brake systems and Electronic Control Units. Without an independent, openly defined communications protocol, applications and operating systems cannot automatically determine the type of data to capture and share. This communications protocol will provide uniform data elements which will allow uniformity and enhance the value of the crash data extensibility to provide for growth and product differentiation.

Visiting the Washington Office

IEEE-USA's Washington office is located at 1828 L Street, N.W., Suite 1202 in Washington, DC. If you are planning a trip to Washington and have a meeting or would like to visit the IEEE-USA offices, this page will help you with your preparations.

Local Accomodations

Because of our mid-town location near the Farragut North, Farragut West and Dupont Circle Metro stations, there are a fairly large number of hotel options, including lodging in Crystal City/Alexandria near National Airport.  Any hotel located at/near the Dupont Circle Metro stop is within walking distance of our office.

Here is a list of hotels convenient to the IEEE Washington office, with whom we have a negotiated IEEE rate.  It is a rather short list, so you may also wish to check for other Washington accommodation options through on-line services such as:

bullet Capitol Reservations
bullet Discount Travel
bullet QuikBook
bullet TravelNow
bullet WashingtonDC Accomodations
bullet WashingtonDC.Com
bullet Washington Hotels

One thing to note is that room rates will vary and that during off-peak/low occupancy periods, it is often possible to bargain for lower rates.  IEEE negotiated rates are only available subject to room availability.  In Washington, especially during the Summer tourist months and during major political events, room rates and availability reflect the high demand.  The best advice is to ask for their best rate when calling.  If the rate is higher than the IEEE negotiated rate, then ask if they will honor the IEEE rate.  In many cases, you will find you can get a better rate than the IEEE rate.  In other cases, the IEEE rate may not be available.

Travel To Washington

Three major airports -- Reagan National, Dulles Int'l and Baltimore-Washington Int'l all provide air transportation convenient to the Washington Metropolitan area.  Reagan National is the closest and provides Metro access (via the Blue/Yellow lines, transfer to Red Line).  Cab/coach to/from Dulles and BWI typically requires 45-60 minutes at a cost of $50-75.  Amtrak provides train service to Washington's Union Station, which also links via Metro's Red line.  The Washington Flyer Coach Service provides direct transportation between Dulles Int'l and the West Falls Church (VA) Metrorail Station.

IEEE members are encouraged to make their travel arrangements through the IEEE Travel Service.

Travel by Washington Metro

The Washington Metro subway and bus system is an inexpensive and convenient means to reach most destinations in Washington and the surrounding suburbs of Maryland and Northern Virginia. Metro serves Washington National Airport and Union Station (Amtrak rail service).  Coaches connect Dulles Int'l Airport with the West Falls Church Metro Station. Amtrak connects Baltimore Washington International Airport with the Union Station Metro.

The IEEE-USA Washington office is located just a short walk from either the Farragut North (Red Line) or Farragut West (Blue & Orange Line) Metro stations. You can get complete rail and bus information from the Washington Metro-Area Transit Authority.

The Washington Post also makes available information on the Metro System, including down-loadable maps and a station-finder.
