1 Introduction Standards for C-ITS ESF GmbH, Dr. Hans-Joachim Fischer Fichtenweg 9, D Blaubeuren, Germany : document may be reproduced and distributed as a whole, without any changes only. This document was produced by ESF GmbH / member of ISO TC204 WG16, WG18 and others, CEN TC278 WG16 and others, ETSI TC ITS upon request at a meeting of experts from ISO TC204 WG16 and ITU in Geneva, on 8 th March It answers the three questions: a) Is there a need of an analysis / quality checking of existing communication standards for ITS produced by ISO TC204 WG16? b) Is there a need for an analysis to identify gaps between these existing communication standards and a visionary idea on a "required set of communication standards" having in mind procurement of systems? c) How can ITU contribute to the process to promote communication standards for C-ITS, and to speed up the development process? Since many years, standard developers working in ISO, CEN, ETSI, IEEE and other SDOs maintain excellent relations aiming on a harmonized approach towards ITS. These relations are supported by liaison agreements between SDOs. Now ITU became interested in ITS, thus it is straightforward reasonable that experts from ITU join this group of experts. With respect of involvement of ITU in the work on ITS, TC204 has drafted a resolution at the Tampa meeting in 2011: - 1 -

8 2 Quality of standards At an early stage, ISO TC204 WG16 has identified the need to perform quality checking of their standards. An efficient way to do so is to develop test specifications that al implementing the standardized protocols in test platforms enabling conformance testing. This task is delegated to ETSI TC ITS, which actually was founded by members of ISO TC204 WG16 in The work is conducted with the help of the ETSI Competence Centre for Testing and Interoperability (CTI), funded by the European Commission. Test suites for most relevant protocols developed at ISO are in the process of being finalized. This approach aled for a feedback from the testing experts in ETSI to the standard makers in ISO, enabling them to improve their standards in a first revision phase. Next step, which is already being started, is to implement these test suites in a test platform for ITS. Such a test platform already exists at ETSI CTI for early versions of ETSI base standards. A demonstration of conformance testing of real equipment against this test platform is planned for the ITS world congress in Vienna. Implementing protocols in a test platform and validating the test suites with this platform using real implementations will al for a second revision phase of the base standards, and for a revision phase of the test specifications. Further quality checking is not considered to be needed! - 8 -

9 3 Missing standards ISO TC204 WG16 has identified the urgent need to develop standards presented in table 2. These standards partly belong to the "Basic set of CALM communication standards for C-ITS", and partly to the "Extended set of CALM communication standards for C-ITS". Table 2: New work items at ISO TC204 WG16 to develop communication standards SDO Number Titel Subject Relevance Status ISO IS ITS Geo-Routing To provide the functionality of Geo-Addressing / Geo-Routing developed in the EC GeoNet project in the ÍTS-S facilities layer, aling several er layer transport and networking protocols, and to enable the ETSI GeoNetworking protocol in a CALM compliant ITS-S. ISO IS ITS Integration of WAVE Specifies how the IEEE WAVE system can become interoperable with CALM compliant ITS stations. ISO IS Intelligent transport systems -- Communications access for land mobiles (CALM) -- LTE ISO IS Intelligent transport systems -- Communications access for land mobiles (CALM) -- ITS station management -- Remote management Standards related to security. Initial work is at ETSI TC ITS. This new work item has to be seen in the context of ETSI TS Although a scope similar to the one of e.g. IS and IS is defined so far, it would be worth to use this work item to specify how ITS and cellular networks of all generations can be connected closer together. Protocols for remote management of an ITS-S. This is also in support of an "ITS Application Store" to download and install C-ITS applications in an ITS-S, e.g. whilst the ITS-S in a car is moving. This is important e.g. for city operators to make available local services for traffic and travel management. medium medium nwi nwi nwi nwi - 9 -

10 4 Standards from ETSI Some standards from ETSI TC ITS being relevant for introduction of general ITS are presented in table 2. There are more standards available or in development at ETSI. These standards focus on the needs of a small niche of Cooperative ITS, i.e. car-centric road safety and traffic efficiency applications promoted by some car manufacturers. ETSI is not yet working on the global scope of ITS. Table 2: Selected standards from ETSI TC ITS SDO Number Titel Subject Relevance Status ETSI TS ETSI TS ETSI EN Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS); Classification and management of ITS application objects Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS); Framework for Public Mobile Networks in Cooperative ITS (C-ITS) Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS); Communications; Architecture Specified the globally harmonized approach to identify ITS application objects by means of a globally unique ITS-AID. Recommends technical details relevant for registration of ITS application objects. Extended in EN Based on an analysis of cooperative ITS (C-ITS) services using lic mobile cellular networks for communications between ITS stations, related functional requirements on the ITS architecture, required amendments / modifications of existing standards on C-ITS in order to enable usage of lic mobile cellular networks, and functionality to be specified in new ITS standards to be developed under M/453 are identified. medium By intention a "copy" of IS

12 6 Possible activities of ITU Activities of ITU to promote ITS and to speed up the process of developing standards include (est preference first): 1. Publish ISO CALM standards as ITU-T recommendations. 2. Define ITU Questions on how to deploy and further develop cellular network technologies, especially LTE, in order to make them ITS-aware, as there will be no cellular networks without ITS and vice versa. 3. Provide man-power to work on the new WIs presented in table 2, except IS 16460, which will be done by experts being involved in the EU/US harmonization activity 7 Terms used CALM DSRC ITS-S ITS-SCU Communication Access for Land Mobiles (work title defined in ISO TC204 WG16) Dedicated Short Range Communication (term defined in CEN TC278 WG9) ITS station ITS station communication unit (physical sub-unit of an implementation of an ITS-S) WAVE Wireless Access in Vehicular Environment (work title defined in IEEE P1609) * nwi awi standard is under revision standard is lished approved, in the process of being lished new work item active work item
