3 ISO/TC204 Overview Scope: Transport Systems (ITS). ITS is the application of information technology, communications technology, and sensor technology, including the internet (both wired and wireless), via the use of vehicle and infrastructure probe data to provide location-based telematics services. Excluded: in-vehicle transport information and control systems - See ISO/TC 22. Chair: Dick Schnacke, Transcore International Secretariat: Provided by ITS America 3

6 ISO/TC204 Working Groups WG1: Architecture (UK) WG3: ITS database technology (Japan) WG4: Automatic vehicle and equipment identification (Norway) WG5: Electronic fee collection (Sweden) WG7: General fleet management and commercial/freight (Canada) WG8: Public transport/emergency (USA) WG9: Integrated transport information, management and control (Australia) WG10: Traveller information systems (UK) WG14: Vehicle/roadway warning and control systems (Japan) WG16: Wide area communications/protocols and interfaces (USA) WG17: Nomadic devices (Korea) WG18: Cooperative systems (Germany) 6

7 Current International Participation Head of Delegation alongside approx. 26 countries, representing Standards South Africa (SABS) South African Delegation numbers 1 to 3 (dependant on travel approval) Expert to Working Group 5 (Fee Collection e-toll) Expert to Working Group 7 (Freight and Logistics) Expert to Working Group 8 (Public Transport and Emergency Services) Expert to Working Group 17 (Nomadic devices) Expert to Working Group 18 (Co-operative ITS C-ITS) Participation in Study Group on Standardization Requirements for ITS Corridor Management (WG7 Lead) Liaison for WG 3, 17 and 8 7

8 National Input and Influence SABS mirror committee to ISO TC 204, SABS TC 204 Representation in this committee very limited unlike other countries which enjoy government, industry and academia support Review ISO documentation from South African perspective, trying to involve affected stakeholders Recommend South African position to SABS à ISO 8

9 Why are Standards Important to Companies and Nations? Strategic choice for companies: Participate in and help drive the standards process that will affect your products Open standards promote competition and global acceptance One component everywhere not one for each region Or... Let the competition do it Strategies for nations: Promote national standards and domestic technology Make sure domestic requirements are included Understand substance and details of developing standards for early entrance into new markets 9

10 Selected Future Standardization Priorities Overall Objective: Standards emphasizing global interoperability Cooperative Systems Traveler Assistance Reference & Framework Architecture Harmonized definitions and terminologies Data Privacy Communication/networking CALM concept 10

11 Selected Future Standardization Priorities Cont. Public Transport and Emergency Security Examples: Monitoring/routing of dangerous goods) Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) Examples: Emergency Vehicle Warning, Intersection Collision Warning, Slow Vehicle Warning, Motorcycle Approaching Indicator, Weather-related road hazards, etc) Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) Examples: Traffic management, stop light phasing, road hazard warning, emergency notification, probe data, etc) Other 11

12 ITS Standardization Benefits Integrating vehicles with roadway networks through the use of on-board wireless communications Conversion of vehicle and infrastructure data to provide timely locationbased services to drivers and roadway operators Advanced safety applications such as automatic crash notification and crash avoidance systems Homeland security applications via secure monitoring/tracking of freight and vehicles An improved environment through reduced fuel consumption and emissions Nomadic devices/telematics to support ITS services in developing nations without the need to invest in capital intensive infrastructure 12

13 Challenges in Automotive Addressing the mismatch in life cycles and life spans between the automotive world and the electronics and communications world Safety-oriented communications must remain available for the service life of the vehicle User/driver oriented services are moving to smart devices and off the vehicle platform Forging an integrated system of: Vehicles/drivers Infrastructure/operators Wireless communications Land-enhanced safety services Meeting the needs of the developing world 13
