Division — Priority area IV: Linking the vehicle with the transport infrastructure

The specifications and standards for linking vehicles with the transport infrastructure shall include the following:

1. 1..

   Specifications for other actions

   1. 1.1.

      The definition of necessary measures to integrate different ITS applications on an open in-vehicle platform, based on:

      • the identification of functional requirements of existing or planned ITS applications,

      • the definition of an open-system architecture which defines the functionalities and interfaces necessary for the interoperability/interconnection with infrastructure systems and facilities,

      • the integration of future new or upgraded ITS applications in a ‘plug and play’ manner into an open in-vehicle platform,

      • the use of a standardisation process for the adoption of the architecture, and the open in-vehicle specifications.

   2. 1.2.

      The definition of necessary measures to further progress the development and implementation of cooperative (vehicle-vehicle, vehicle-infrastructure, infrastructure-infrastructure) systems, based on:

      • the facilitation of the exchange of data or information between vehicles, infrastructures and between vehicle and infrastructure,

      • the availability of the relevant data or information to be exchanged to the respective vehicle or road infrastructure parties,

      • the use of a standardised message format for the exchange of data or information between the vehicle and the infrastructure,

      • the definition of a communication infrastructure for data or information exchange between vehicles, infrastructures and between vehicle and infrastructure,

      • the use of standardisation processes to adopt the respective architectures.
