WG11: Route guidance and navigation systems
WG14: Vehicle / roadway warning and control systems
WG16: Wide area communications / protocols and interfaces
WG17: Nomadic devices
WG18: Cooperative systems• Several working groups work jointly together with WGs
from CEN TC278.• TC204 is in the process of being re-structured• ISO TC204 is THE global leading advocate for
standards on technologies improving safety, security, efficiency and comfort of the world's transportation system
Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems
April 2013 C-ITS deployment issues 5
Cooperative ITS (C-ITS) is a subset of ITS in which information is communicated and shared between ITS station applications to facilitate actions and decisions that improve ITS safety, sustainability, efficiency and comfort beyond that achievable by stand-alone systems.
Other SDOs
April 2013 C-ITS deployment issues 6
ETSI TC ITS, founded December 2007 upon an initiative of members of ISO TC204 WG16, is focused on a slice of C-ITS promoted by the Car-to-Car Communications Consortium, i.e. on car-centric communications and applications for road safety and traffic efficiency.
IEEE 1609 working group is working on usage of 802.11(p) in vehicular environment (US DSRC, WAVE). This is a sub-set of C-ITS with a similar target as ETSI TC ITS.
SAE is specifying message sets (BSM) for US DSRC.

C-ITS is the technical topic of • mandate M/453 "Standardization mandate
addressed to CEN, CENELEC AND ETSI in the field of information and communication technologies to support interoperability of co-operative systems for intelligent transport in the European community" of the European Commission
• EU (EC DG INFSO) / US (DOT/RITA) task force on harmonization in standardisation (results of harmonization task groups 1 and 3)
Research activities - Technologies
April 2013 C-ITS deployment issues 8
Some examples of EU projects on basic technologies:• CVIS and COOPERS implemented and validated
first versions of ITS standards from ISO TC204 WG16 (CALM).
• ITSSv6 works on IPv6 in the ITS station• SAFESPOT worked on vehicular networks for road
safety• GeoNet worked on geo-dissemination of
information in C-ITS.
Research activities - Support
April 2013 C-ITS deployment issues 9
Supporting EU projects:• COMeSafety is in support of European Community
wide implementation and deployment of C-ITS, effective EU-US and international cooperation, and deployment preparation.
• iCarSupport sets out to convince the public at large that ITS technologies and applications are an investment for Europe’s future
• eCoMove works on cooperative mobility systems and services for energy efficiency
Research activities - Framework
April 2013 C-ITS deployment issues 10
Further EU projects:• FRAME is to provide a minimum stable framework
architecture necessary for the deployment of integrated and inter-operable ITS within the European Union.
• FOTsis is a large scale field testing of the road infrastructure management systems needed for the operation of close-to-market cooperative I2V, V2I & I2I technologies.
Industry initiatives towards harmonization
April 2013 C-ITS deployment issues 11
• Six major infrastructure suppliers announced their joint work towards a common set of standards for Cooperative Mobility services.
• European vehicle manufacturers announced a Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperative ITS (C-ITS).
However these two big groups have very different basic requirements.
Harmonization between these groups is a pre-requisite for successful procurement.
Standards release 1 for C-ITS
April 2013 C-ITS deployment issues 12
• The definition of a Release 1 for C-ITS at CEN, ETSI and ISO started. Release 1 aims on identifying a set of standards which "fit together" allowing development of conformant implementations by selection of those standards required for a specific conformance profile.
However ETSI is solely working on an ETSI Release 1, ignoring standards from CEN and ISO. Comparing the current "official" ETSI proposal and a proposal made by CEN/ISO experts, almost no overlap is given.

Link applications to communications in a global context
April 2013 C-ITS deployment issues 14
PT1601 is drafting two CEN/ISO Technical Specifications:• TS 17419 "Co-operative systems — Classification and
management of ITS applications in a global context“• TS 17423 "Co-operative systems - ITS application requirements for
selection of communication profiles"
related to C-ITS management (system enabler!) which will be upgraded to EN/ISO standards.
PT1601's scope includes International Harmonization and recommendations to the EC (on required registries and infrastructure services).

ITS-S reference architecture (ISO 21217)
April 2013 C-ITS deployment issues 15
The ITS-S is defined as a
Bounded
Secured
Managed
Domain.
There are many other stations used in ITS already today, which are not following the principles of BSMD. Nevertheless communications between ITS-SUs = BSMEs and other ITS station units has to be possible.
Communications and applications in C-ITS
April 2013 C-ITS deployment issues 16
• Communications standards are already well developed and available.
• Application and message set standards are in the process of being developed.
• Essential (management) functionality of an ITS-SU, which goes beyond the functionality of existing systems, is identified but not yet fully standardized. Globally unique identifiers are in the process of being identified, and will be subject of registration.
"Simple" implementations (more or less silo-based) with restricted functionality are possible based on existing C-ITS standards, however the aspect of "trust" is not yet sufficiently supported in standards and in the infrastructure (PKI).
Comm. profile selection (TS 17423)
April 2013 C-ITS deployment issues 17
In an ITS-SU, applications do not need to know about available communications tools. Applications only present functional requirements.

Conformance and interoperability testing
April 2013 C-ITS deployment issues 20
ISO and CEN selected ETSI to develop test suites and test platforms. For a number of communication standards from ISO and ETSI, and for message set based applications from ETSI test suites already exist.
STF 455 funded by the EC under mandate M/453 currently is extending the C-ITS test platform at ETSI to include the test suites for ISO base standards of communication protocols.
Such a test platform is a prerequisite for conformance testing and certification of equipment.
A demonstration is planned for the ITS world congress in Japan in autumn 2013. This test platform will be available from 2014 on for plug-tests. Please provide your implementation of FNTP, FSAP, IICP and ISO 21218 asap to STF 455!

Procurement of C-ITS equipmentConclusions
April 2013 C-ITS deployment issues 21
In a first procurement phase (in about three to five years from now) the following C-ITS scenario is feasible:• Single-hop roadside to vehicle communications using FSAP
over FNTP and 5,9 GHz. Short sessions similar to EFC sessions and local information dissemination (e.g. SPAT at intersections)
• Single-hop vehicle-to-vehicle communications using BSM / CAM / DENM over FNTP and 5,9 GHz.
• Vehicle-to-infrastructure communication (and vice versa) using IPv6 over cellular technology.
• Ordinary hot-spot communications with non-moving stations.
• Local dynamic map (LDM) usage.
Procurement of C-ITS equipmentConclusions
April 2013 C-ITS deployment issues 22
Geo-dissemination of information to remote destinations will be efficiently reliable with IPv6 over cellular technology once the cellular networks are prepared for this.
Geo-dissemination of information over narrowband channels such as those at 5,9 GHz (GeoNetworking) with multiple hops is very unlikely to be possible due to restrictions imposed by the communication channel.
Procurement of C-ITS equipmentConclusions
April 2013 C-ITS deployment issues 23
C-ITS will use several different communication technologies, including• ad-hoc (single-hop) communications (5,9 GHz, 63 GHz, ...)• cellular networks (LTE, ...)• Internet (IPv6)
The C-ITS architecture has the capability to finally cover all application areas with mobility requirements (moving stations – wireless communications).
There is one world and only one C-ITS!
