Work programme overview
16 April, 2017

2. Presentation content ITS standardization CEN/TC 278
ITS action plan and mandate M/453

3. Why do we need ITS standards
Enables interoperability of systems/services
Encourages innovation, fosters enterprise and opens up new markets for suppliers
Creates trust and confidence in products and services
Expands the market, brings down costs and increases competition
Helps to prevent duplication of effort
Supports greater confidence in procurement
Interchangeability of system component suppliers

4. The formal standards bodies for ITS
Global level
ISO/TC 204 – Intelligent Transport Systems
ISO/TC 22 – Road vehicles
European level
CEN: CEN/TC 278 for ITS, CEN/TC 226 Machine Readable cards
CENELEC/TC 226 Road equipment
ETSI TC ITS
National level
National standards bodies: NEN, DIN, AFNOR, BSI ……
Coördinaten between CEN/ETSI/EC through ITSCG
Intelligent Transport Systems Coördinaten Group

5. CEN/TC 278 Scope CEN/TC 278 Road transport and traffic telematics
Standardization in the field of telematics to be applied to road traffic and transport, including those elements that need technical harmonisation for intermodal operation in the case of other means of transport.
It shall support …
vehicle, container, swap body and goods wagon identification;
communication between vehicles and road infrastructure;
communication between vehicles;
in-vehicle human machines interfacing as far as telematics is concerned;
traffic and parking management;
user fee collection;
public transport management;
user information. 5

6. CEN/TC 278 Road transport and traffic telematics
Established in 1992
31 national members
59 standards under development, 99 adopted standards
11 working groups with over 300 nominated experts
Cooperation between market players: industries, service providers, governments
Well connected to European R&D
Chair: Lex Eggink (RWS), Secretary: Maarten Peelen (NEN)

7. CEN/TC 278 and European Legislation
Directive 2004/52/EC (EFC directive) on the interoperability of electronic road toll systems in the Community
Directive 2010/40/EU (ITS directive) on the framework for the deployment of Intelligent Transport Systems
The ITS action plan identifies priority areas where actions are necessary to lift the barriers hampering a wider and more coordinated deployment and use of ITS
Mandate M/453 on Co-operative systems to support interoperability of co-operative systems for intelligent transport in the European Community
Mandate M/338 on Electronic Fee Collection in support of Interoperability of electronic road toll systems in the Community
Commission Decision 2009/750/EC on the definition of the European Electronic Toll Service and its technical elements

11. How do the WGs fit together?
(Based on a design concept of AustRoads, 2010)

12. Cross reference: one example
How do we ensure this channels convey same message?
Traffic and Travel Information Standards & Co- operative Systems
Traffic and Travel Information Standards

13. ITS Standardisation results in TC 278
Over 99 European ITS standards have been completed
A real success story: Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is a technology for delivering traffic and travel information to drivers in the home language of the traveller!
Other success stories: EFC and DSRC with outreach in Australia, South-Africa and Brazil

14. ITS action plan and mandate M/453
ITS action plan originated by EC for deployment of ITS
Priority items identified in the ITS field
Mandate M453: focus on standards for co-operative systems
Request to the ESO’s to propose single combined work programme
Both ETSI and CEN have accepted responsibility
CEN/TC278 formed WG16, cooperation with ISO/TC204/WG18
Directive 2010/40/EU: Framework for the Coordinated and Effective Deployment and Use of Intelligent Transport Systems
Coordination through ITS-CG (CEN, ETSI, EC)
Cross-reference between CEN/TC278 and ISO/TC204 WG’s
