Please don’t change the structure of this table, just insert the necessary information.

1. 
   Use Cases report (also in TD 102 (GEN/12)) — this report describes use cases and user scenarios that show why the ITU-T Recommendations P.UIA, G.SAM, and G.V2A are needed to support safe interaction of ICT applications/services with drivers.
   
2. 
   P.UIA report (also in TD 101 (GEN/12)) — this report proposes a structure and initial content for draft new ITU-T Recommendation P.UIA (User Interface requirements for Automotive applications). P.UIA will give guidance to ICT application authors, system architects, and device manufacturers on how to design their products to enhance the driver’s Situational Awareness (SA). A structure for P.UIA is proposed which can easily scale to reflect the latest in what is known to be good design practice and performance. Existing works and on-going activities related to P.UIA are also identified.
   
3. 
   G.SAM report (also in TD 99 (GEN/12)) — this report describes system capabilities that are important for improving the safety of driver interaction with ICT applications/services. An understanding of these system capabilities will be important during the development of standards on the underlying mechanisms. The main goal of this report is to support standardization efforts related to DRAFT new ITU-T Recommendation G.SAM (Mechanisms for managing the situational awareness of drivers).
   
4. 
   G.V2A report (also in TD 100 (GEN/12)) — this report describes different approaches being used to enable external ICT applications/services to communicate with a vehicle. These external applications/services could be running on a nomadic device, roadside infrastructure, or cloud-based server. Existing works and on-going activities related to G.V2A (Communications interface between external applications and a Vehicle Gateway Platform) are also identified.
   

Although FG Distraction has completed its deliverables and come to an end, this is really just the beginning of ITU-T activities related to driver distraction and workload. Future work will be addressed within the formal ITU-T structure as follows:

• 
  Work on draft new ITU-T Recommendation P.UIA (User Interface requirements for Automotive applications) will continue in Question 4 (Hands-free communication and user interfaces in vehicles) of Study Group 12 (Performance, QoS and QoE)
  
• 
  Work on draft new ITU-T Recommendations G.SAM (Mechanisms for managing the situational awareness of drivers) and G.V2A (Communications interface between external applications and a Vehicle Gateway Platform) will continue in Question 27 (Vehicle gateway platform for telecommunication/ITS services/applications) of Study Group 16 (Multimedia)
  
• 
  New work items related to driver distraction will be considered in Question 4 of Study Group 12; those requiring external co-ordination/collaboration may also be taken to the Collaboration on ITS Communications (http://www.itu.int/en/ITU-T/extcoop/cits/Pages/default.aspx) or directly to an individual organization
  

Those interested in directly participating in this work are encouraged to join the ITU-T. More information on ITU-T memberships can be found at: http://www.itu.int/en/membership/Pages/overview.aspx.

ITU-T Study Group 12 hopes to continue co-ordination and collaboration with external organizations in the future. This will help ensure that there is not a duplication of effort and that the best suited organization works on a particular item. Feedback will also be solicited from external subject matter experts in those areas that the ITU-T does not have a core competency.
