harmonisation showcase at the next ITS World Congress in Vienna, the activities of the Amsterdam Group, or the support of further sensible and value added coop-erative services. Please be kindly invited to learn more about all these activities in this current newsletter.

We will keep this pressure, for the sake of a win for everyone: the stakeholders, the societies and last and most important the people of a sustainable mobile Europe.

Time is fl ying towards the end of the man-date M/453 to support the interoperabil-ity of Cooperative Systems for intelligent transport in Europe. And so do the efforts of all stakeholders to prepare and fi nal-ise the necessary set of standards: the so called minimum set of standards that is necessary to start with the deployment of cooperative Intelligent Transport Sys-tems.Of course, common standards are the core of interoperable and Cooperative Systems. But standards alone do not guarantee systems and applications to sprout fast and wide. Cooperative Sys-tems will also need various hotbeds where stakeholders jointly invest and roll out road infrastructure, back-end infrastructure, services and customer platforms. And once planted, coopera-tion needs to be raised and maintained throughout decades of changing environ-ments.

Therefore, during the last months, COMeSafety2 has heavily contributed to in-tensifi ed talks among the respective stakeholders in order to push forward a joint understanding of deployment, as for instance in the context of the in-ternational harmonisation taskforce, the presentations at the Intertraffi c 2012 in Amsterdam, the support of a joint EU-US

Research and identifi cation of technical and legal requirements have captured the attention of stakeholders of cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems for sever-al years. Standardisation of those require-ments will be fi nalised in the near future and embodies one of the last preparations for deployment and market introduction of day-one C-ITS. This progress will be one of the central aspects of this year’s ITS World Congress, taking place from 22 to 26 October 2012 in Vienna, Austria. Exhibi-tion and congress will be revolved around being ,Smarter on the way’, demonstrating the state-of-the-art of Intelligent Transport Systems and future advances. Within this frame, the CAR 2 CAR Com-munication Consortium and the Austrian Testfeld Telematik Consortium will present an important milestone to arouse the idea of Cooperative ITS. To visualise the main benefi ts of Car2Car and Car2Infrastructure communication for traffi c safety and effi -ciency, both consortia organise a common Driving Demonstration. It will take place next to the exposition area and offers to ex-perience the support of Car2X communica-tion for the driver in real-life use cases on public roads. After having registered (on-line beforehand or standby at the common booth in hall A), visitors of the ITS World Congress can participate as passengers.

Discussions on Message Set Standardisation in CEN/TC278 RTTT and ISO/TC204 ITS (by Hans-Joachim Schade, TSE Consulting)

Amsterdam Group: Joint effort to bring C-ITS onto the roads (by Dr. Markus Bauer, BMW Group)

The Amsterdam Group is a synonym for a wor-king group of road operators and vehicle ma-nufacturers and suppliers, working together on the deployment of Cooperative Systems. This is exactly the mission of COMeSafety2 which aims at bringing together all relevant stakehol-ders in this fi eld. These are obviously made up from both infrastructure side and vehicle side – because one cannot work without the other.From the infrastructure side, the road opera-tors grouped in ASECAP (Association of ope-rators of toll road infrastructures), CEDR (Con-ference of European Directors of Roads) and POLIS (European Cities and Regions Networ-king for Innovative Transport Solutions) are represented in the Amsterdam Group. From the vehicle side, members of the CAR 2 CAR Communication Consortium are active.On the way towards deployment, joint effort is needed, as a matter of fact, V2X includes both V2V and V2I/I2V. From an end-user point of view, the interaction with infrastructure is ge-nerating the highest customer value. Applica-tions like emergency electronic brake light are (hopefully) not as visible in every day driving as for example the green light optimised speed advice or in-vehicle signage. This makes clear that the work of the Amsterdam Group is very important on the way towards deployment. On the other hand, from an infrastructure point of view, the data quality obtained from cooperative vehicles is get-ting better the higher the pene-tration rate in the fl eet is.These points are all steps to getting rid of the well known chicken-and-egg problem, and the gaps between the different stakeholders need to be fi lled in order to bring Cooperative Sys-tems onto the roads. The Amsterdam Group laun-ched in early 2012 working groups with dedicated tasks. These working groups cover all items needed to get solved prior the start of Cooperative Sys-tems deployment:

Regarding the geographic roll out, a hot spot approach is realistic; areas which are used for European FOTs (fi eld operational tests) will form the nuclei of the hot spots, which will be growing continuously as the vehicle fl eet penetration. The cooperation in the Amsterdam Group initi-ally started with the different associations and consortia mutually approaching each other – this also indicates that all parties see the need to work together on the fi eld of Cooperative Systems leading to a safer and more effi cient traffi c in Europe in the future. An example of this cooperation will become visible during the ITS World Congress in Vienna in October 2012.

16 relevant use cases are defi ned so far by the Amsterdam Group, some of them are:

Starting with CAM and DENM messages, both developed and standardised by ETSI TC ITS, some more message sets are needed to fulfi l the given requirements to roll out Cooperative Systems applications and services which are based on a communication between vehicles and the traffi c infrastructure systems (V2I, I2V). These message sets should enable applications that facilitate intersection safety, reduction in environmental impacts, optimisa-tion of arterial traffi c fl ow, and (not to forget) transit and emergency vehicle priority at inter-sections.In the draft standard J2735, SAE specifi es message sets, data frames, and data ele-ments specifi cally for the use by applications based on the 5.9 GHz DSRC technology. Although the scope of this draft standard is focused on DSRC, these message sets, data frames and data elements have been desig-ned also of potential use for applications that may be deployed in conjunction with other wireless communication technologies. SAE J2735 is based on US projects (VII, CICAS -V, etc.) and the development was driven by experts from different U.S. companies. Given the scope of the EC Standardisation Mandate M/453 as well as the activities to harmonise given standards by the EU-US Task Force, there was no doubt that CEN/TC278 and ISO/TC204 have to start activities on V2I and I2V message set standardisation to enable the deployment of Cooperative Systems applica-tions. One of the targets defi ned by the CEN and ISO TC’s is to integrate different views on V2I/I2V message sets, namely the stakehol-ders perspective (OEM, supplier, road opera-tor) and the regional perspective (EU, JP, US),

but also to take into consideration the related SAE activities.On 8th and 9th March 2012, hosted by the German Association of the Automotive Indus-try (VDA), an international workshop with 18 participants from Europe, the USA and Japan was organised in Berlin and moderated by Hans-Joachim Schade in his responsibility as CEN/TC278/WG16 and ISO/TC204/WG18 convenor. The participants represent the car manufactures, the road operators and public authorities, the traffi c infrastructure system supplier industry, and the fi rst tier automotive supplier industry. It was decided to standardi-se the following messages by CEN and ISO and to link these activities to the current J2735 revision process:

Map Data (MAP) - I2V-typeMAP is used to describe complex intersec-tions (used with the SPaT message), high speed curve outlines (used in curve safety alerts), and segment of roadway (used in pla-toon applications).

Probe Data Management (PDM) - I2V-typePDM is used to control the type of data coll-ected and sent by vehicle ITS stations to the roadside ITS station.

Probe Vehicle Data (PVD) - V2I-typePVD is used to exchange status about a ve-hicle with other (typically roadside based stations) to allow the collection of informati-on about typically vehicle traveling behaviors along a segment of road.

Signal Phase and Timing (SPaT) - I2V-typeSPaT is used to convey the current status of

one or more signalised intersections. Along with MAP (which conveys a full geometric lay-out of the intersection in question) the receiver of this message can determine the state of the signal phasing and when the expected next phase will occur.

Signal Request Message (SRM) - V2I-typeSRM is a message sent by a vehicle to the roadside ITS station which is part of an inter-section controller. It is used for either a priority signal request or a preemption signal request depending on the way the message fl ag is set. In either case, the vehicle identifi es itself, its current speed, heading and location, and ma-kes a specifi c request for service as well as an anticipated time of service.

Signal Status Message (SSM) - I2V-typeSSM is a message sent by roadside ITS sta-tion which is part of an intersection controller. It is used to relate the current status of the si-gnal and any collection of pending or active preemption or priority events acknowledged by the controller. The data contained in this message allow other users to determine their „ranking“ for any request they have made as well as see the currently active events.

The standardisation activities at CEN and ISO are ongoing; stakeholders are invited to participate. All activities will be linked to both, fi rst the EU-US Task Force on research co-operation in Cooperative Systems, namely the activities of the Sustainability WG and the Standards Harmonisation WG, and second the cooperation between the standardisation organisations CEN, ETSI, ISO and SAE.

administered in Europe. Qualifi cation has both a technical and a policy scope with the technical scope including for example data quality and the overall wireless perfor-mance. The policy qualifi cation is currently attended by several questions, for example if there is a third party non OEM validation needed or how to ensure compliance. The scope of harmonisation is in this case to establish identical test procedures. The meeting in Wolfsburg was accompanied by a supporting pro-gramme which led the participants to the Autostadt and on a guided tour in the Volkswagen Arena including a look behind the scenes of the home stadium of a German Soccer League‘ club.

OEM/Government Workshop in Wolfsburg, Germany: Discussions on key issues in harmonisation since the meetings in Orlando and Böblingen 2011 (by Dr. Karl-Oskar Proskawetz, ITS Niedersachsen)

The international harmonisation of coope-rative Intelligent Transport Systems in Eu-rope and the US already constituted the central aspect of last year’s meetings in Böblingen and Orlando. To tie in with the discussion of needs and duties to reach worldwide coordinated Cooperative ITS, an additional OEM/Government workshop took place from 12 to 15 March 2012 in Wolfsburg, Germany. The meeting was organised by Volkswagen and the CAR 2 CAR Communication Consortium and took place in the appealing backdrop of the Volkswagen Arena, the stadium of the Ger-man Soccer League‘s club VfL Wolfsburg. Over 50 participants, among them delega-tes of OEMs and authorities from Europe, USA and Japan, discussed in this quartan meeting the improvement of the working group issues achieved since the meeting in Böblingen and particulars of the minimum set of standards cooperative ITS should comprise. The meeting in Wolfsburg aimed at com-paring the technical and legal requirements cooperative ITS have to fulfi ll from the per-spective of European, US-american and Japanese OEMs and government agenci-

es to make cooperative ITS interoperable across borders. Counselling if they are suffi cient and benefi cial for day one use cases of Cooperative ITS should lead to an agreement on the minimum set of alig-ned standards. The discussion of the Böb-lingen meeting was taken up by a debate about general message set coordination/harmonisation, positioning requirements, performance requirements and congestion control, crash avoidance applications, lia-bility issues, certifi cation and qualifi cation as well as security, data ownership and li-ability. The latter task was addressed in a peculiar workshop on the fourth day while the Steering Committee of the CAR 2 CAR Communication Consortium held a mee-ting. After Søren Hess had welcomed the par-ticipants in the Volkswagen Arena, the task forces reported their status. Second and third meeting day were set aside for consulting in between the working groups. Members agreed on the next steps to achieve harmonisation of cooperative ITS worldwide and named the responsibilities for the tasks to work on. The working group on message set coor-

dination and harmonisation reported about the different approaches for data accura-cy in the EU and the US and the need to further check if the BSM2 message (basic safety message) should implement further accuracy information. The comparison of the CAM and BSM message formats and the included data led to the conclusion that there are some data elements like the steering wheel angle implemented in BSM and missing in CAM. Furthermore the SAE 2735 was introduced as a dictionary with many options and the SPaT message as additional issue for har-monisation. It has to be clarifi ed if all data elements of DENM and CAM are covered by SAE messages. An extensive discussion concerned the position requirements necessary for crash avoidance applications. Regarding that there are some differences in the EU and the US in terms of available positioning technology and vehicle’s size, participants discussed lively if the relative or the abso-lute position is the value which has to be

standardised and implemented in harmo-nisation. The task force on performance require-ments reported about detailed demands like antenna performance and timing issues and their need to be coordinated between the EU and the US. For example the 4 way acceleration has no need of harmonisation while consideration of steering wheel angle has to be further reasoned out.The working group on crash avoidance applications pointed out that those appli-cations also require some standardisation and harmonisation activities and that there is a need to identify which performance re-quirements have to be taken into account, standing fi rm that for trucks there will be ad-ditional applications needed like eco driving and cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control. The current status of certifi cation and quali-fi cation was introduced with the defi nition of the differences between certifi cation occur-ring mandated, qualifi cation as a non-man-datory system and self certifi cation being mandated with recall in the US and OEM

The fi rst meeting day was set aside for status presentations and open discussions of the ques-tions raised by the comparison of worldwide C-ITS standards.

Over 50 participants joined the OEM/Government workshop in the Volkswagen Arena Wolfsburg and discussed the main efforts of the working groups since the last meeting in 2011.

Project partners presented COMeSafety2 at the Intertraffi c in Amsterdam: Deployment of C-ITS receives support from infrastructure industry (by Sonja Eickmann, ITS Niedersachsen)

From 27 to 30 March, project partners pre-sented COMeSafety2 at the Intertraffi c 2012 in Amsterdam. Known as one of the leading international fairs to meet stakeholders of the traffi c and transport industry, this event proved as an effective place to address ac-tivities in standardisation and fostering the deployment of cooperative ITS. Especially coming in contact to experts from the inf-rastructure industry was one of the primary motives for COMeSafety2 to exhibit in Ams-terdam: Showing how cooperative ITS fi ts to business cases of this sector was expec-ted to make a conquest of important contri-butors to deployment. Those expectations were answered by profound discussions with representatives of road operators, inf-rastructure manufacturers and delegates of traffi c management institutions. The overall results being extracted of the talks was that the deployment of cooperative ITS receives support from the infrastructure industry and that their agents realise the benefi ts of co-operative ITS to their business cases.The COMeSafety2 booth was located in

hall 9 together with companies and institu-tions showing latest developments in traffi c management. The most outstanding feature of this location was the close proximity to the Smart Mobility Theatre, a presentation area where a lecture programme on Smart Mobility took place. COMeSafety2 contributed to this program-me with four presentations being held on the second and third exhibition day. Project coordinator Dr. Markus Straßberger infor-med about already fulfi lled steps towards cooperative ITS in Europe and beyond and additional demands for the future. Gérard Ségarra presented fi eld operational testing and validation as one of the current activi-ties to bring the deployment and market in-troduction of cooperative ITS to a success. In addition to those lectures addressing smart and sustainable mobility issues to the broad group of visitors and exhibitors, COMeSafety2 contributed to a seminar pro-gramme in the Smart Mobility Knowledge Centre. Project partners used this occasion to discuss the main benefi ts of coopera-

tive ITS and critical issues from their point of view with stakeholders of other business departures with their specialised perspecti-ves. The seminar on ,Towards deployment of cooperative ITS’ held by Dr. Markus Straßberger and the common presentation of ,Cooperative ITS Architecture, Roles and Responsibilities of Stakeholders’ by Paul Kompfner and Teresina Herb fostered add-on discussions about day-one use cases, requirements on data and message quality, safety issues and questions about the data usage exceeding safety and sustainability issues. The presentations are available for download on the COMeSafety2 homepage.In the same way, effective talks took place at the COMeSafety2 booth. Project partners could establish valuable contacts to road operators, infrastructure manufacturers and traffi c management companies. For examp-le a delegation of the Netherlandish Natio-nal Data Warehouse visited the booth to get familiar with the tasks and objectives of CO-MeSafety2. The booth design with a BMW motorcycle equipped for communication to other vehicles and infrastructure units, an

operative mobile traffi c light and a printed visualisation of a real life traffi c scenario proved as an eye catcher and origin of sub-stantiated talks to other exhibitors and inte-rested visitors. Resting upon the staged real life traffi c scenario the project partners could exp-lain several use cases, for example if road works block one of the lanes or if an emer-gency vehicle approaches an intersection and has to receive prioritisation fast. The feedback of the visitors showed that the idea of cooperative ITS enjoys more and more popularity. Stakeholders get obvious-ly persuaded of the benefi ts the technology contributes not only to safety and effi cien-cy, but also to traffi c management and road operating. These profi ts are for example enabling demand-based circuit on traffi c lights or using message exchange to docu-ment and communicate the road conditions to road operators. Fundamental questions were asked fre-quently: Which information is exchanged

between the vehicles? And how much in-formation is visible for the driver? COMeSa-fety2 members consequently explained the different contents of the CAM and DEMN messages and that information is limited to safety related situations where a warning is needed. Another frequently asked question was whether only motorised traffi c partici-pants benefi t from the technology. Latter question was taken as an opportunity to int-roduce a project just started in the Region of Braunschweig in Niedersachsen, Germany, which uses the Car2X technology to navi-gate and lead blind and visually impaired persons in intra urban areas (see article about the InMoBS project on page 5 in this Newsletter).Overall the appearance of COMeSafety2 was profi table with the quintessence that the approach of cooperative ITS obtains support from various stakeholder groups. This confi rms the project partners in accele-rating the deployment and market introduc-tion in near future.

Dr. Karl-Oskar Proskawetz presented the objectives and activities of COMeSafety2 to a National Data Warehouse delegation.

COMeSafety2 contributed to the Smart Mobi-lity Theatre programme. Dr. Markus Straßber-ger informed about cooperative ITS in Europe and beyond.

While explaining the benefi ts of cooperati-ve Intelligent Transport Systems, one fre-quently asked follow up question is whe-ther only motorised traffi c participants will profi t from Car2X communication techno-logy. While their advantages are relatively obvious for example in crash avoidance or supporting effi cient driving, the new per-spectives for non motorised road users are much more in need of explanation – disregar-ding that especially the technology for commu-nication to road side units features wider utilities. One of those use cases occupies centre stage of the R&D project In-MoBS just started at the beginning of this year in Braunschweig, Nie-dersachsen, Germany: The aim of the project partners is to navigate and lead blind and vi-sually impaired people in intra-urban areaswith assistance of smartphones. A unique characteristic of InMoBS (Intra-urban Mo-bility-support for the Blind and viSually impaired) compared to similar projects is the implementation of Car2X technology to assist blind and visually impaired people in crossing intersections safely. Although InMoBS initially seems to adopt the needs of a small target group, every-one can imagine how diffi cult everyday road use is for people with visual impair-ment, especially in heavily travelled urban areas. Sole support in crossing streets cur-rently comes from traffi c lights with acou-stic signals, but crossing the road and abo-ve all intersections remains a dangerous and therefore stressful situation. To avoid

Related project InMoBS: Car2X technology navigates blind people in intra urban areas (by Sonja Eickmann, ITS Niedersachsen)

that blind and visually impaired people re-strict their traffi c participation to well-known and trained routes, InMoBS aims at develo-ping a prototype mobile device being able to guide and navigate its holder through urban areas. Special focus lies on the one hand on de-veloping an application for route planning which the users can activate on their home

computer they are familiar with. Loaded to their smartpho-nes afterwards, they will be guided on a barrier-free route, adapted to current road conditions, for example the ap-plication incorpo-rates road works. The smartphone will locate its holder accurately based on satellite naviga-tion and guide with acoustic and haptic information. On the other hand, when it comes to cros-sing intersections,

the project partners build upon the already proven Car2X technology in order to let the smartphone receive messages from traffi c lights and give the holder information about the signal phases. By fulfi lling the diffi cult tasks to lead blind people through intra urban traffi c, InMoBS can be understood as an occasion to awake a wider public knowledge and in best case acceptance of Car2X technology – which does not only support drivers, but each group of traffi c participants. InMoBS rests upon an intensive survey of blind and visually impaired people to get to know their needs as traffi c participants, their mobility conditions and critical situa-

tions they are confronted with when using roads. Those psychological aspects are an important basis to regard the special requirements of the target group as well as to develop a mobile device operable comfortably. As project partners, institutes of the resident Braunschweig University of Technology work together with the German association for Blind people, research in-stitutions (DLR), developers in the fi eld of technical solutions for communication and navigation (Oecon, TransVer) as well as infrastructure manufacturers (Siemens) and a competence network (ITS Nieder-sachsen). Testing and validation of the de-veloped mobile device and application will be accomplished by blind and visually im-paired persons and occur in an intra urban test area in Braunschweig. Concerning the communication of the mobile device to traffi c lights, project part-ners have the advantage that with the Ap-plication Platform for Intelligent Mobility (AIM), inner city roads of Braunschweig are already partially equipped with Car2X-enabled traffi c lights. AIM is a research fa-cility initiated and operated by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and serves for examination and data collection on mobi-lity-related research questions.

Webinars on key steps towards deployment of cooperative ITS (by Sonja Eickmann, ITS Niedersachsen)

Expert talks, stakeholder discussions and public appearances are currently used by COMeSafety2 members to clarify that de-ployment of cooperative ITS lies in foresee-able future. Research made huge progress and provided fi rst proofs of the technical feasability, the fi rst C-ITS standards will be completed within this year and the fi rst re-sults from the FOTs will support the identifi -cation of results for deployment. All those key steps to push deployment of cooperative ITS forward will be addressed and discussed in a Webinar programme initiated by COMeSafety2 members in the next months. Stakeholders are cordially invited to take part in those online-seminars and to learn about already reached and still outstanding milestones in bringing cooperative ITS to European roads. The webinar program will start in June with the topic ,Cooperative ITS Architecture: A blueprint for deployment?‘. Participants are invited to discuss the challenges of de-ploying C-ITS Architecture with a focus on organisational issues like the identifi cation of roles and their assignment to actors as eminent part. The COMeSafety2 members

could attract external speakers from the in-frastrcutre industry and public road opera-tors to contribute to the webinar. Therefore it aims at visualising how to create an inte-grated C-ITS architecture including related industries like traffi c management, public transport, goods distribution and individual road transport.This topic will be followed by a deeper in-sight to standarisation of cooperative ITS. COMeSafety2 members report in July about the list of minimum set of standards for deployment of cooperative ITS carried together by the standarisation organisa-tions CEN and ETSI in the context of the Mandate M/453.In the subsequent months, subjects of the webinars will be legal aspects of Coopera-tive ITS, fi eld operational tests, application description and requirements as well as system testing and certifi cation. Details to the below-mentioned preliminary pro-gramme, topic descriptions, how to regis-ter for and participate in the webinar will be published on the project website in the category Events & Workshops > Webinar Programme (http://www.comesafety.org/indexphp?id=200).
