In the vehicle, the m:Vía communication unit manages connectivity, and several user services have been implemented in the m:Vía application unit. Services make use of IMS capabilities, through an IMS client embedded in the application unit. On the road, Road Side Units offer information and extra connectivity to Internet. Results showing the advantages of the proposed system are expected from ongoing field tests. %~
