1. Intelligent Transportation Systems & Electronic Commerce
Presentation at APEC-TPT
EC Seminar
Andrew Schoka
CONGESTION
AHEAD
The purpose of my presentation is to give you a
STATUS REPORT
of the US DOT's ITS Standards Program.
The goal of this report is to make the ITS community
AWARE
of the progress that has been made in the development of ITS standards in the US, and the
DIRECTION
the program is taking in the future.
First I will give you an OVERVIEW of the program. Then I will follow that with selected examples of COMPLETED ITS STANDARDS. Then I will preview selected examples of standards scheduled to be completed in Finally I will talk about where we go from here.

2. Overview
APEC-TPT’s Goals and Objectives for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
APEC-TPT ITS Special Interest Group (SIG)
ISO Technical Committee 204, Transport Information and Control Systems (TICS)
Representative EC-related Standards Initiatives

3. APEC-TPT’s Goals and Objectives for Intelligent Transportation Systems
Save lives, time, money and the environment through
improving transport system efficiency
improving safety
tackling urban congestion
improving the use of existing infrastructure
developing multimodal, logistics-based systems
controlling the environmental impact of transport
Electronic Commerce Implications
ITS should contribute to improving transport system efficiency for movement of passengers and freight (including intermodal) through enhancing interoperability

4. APEC-TPT ITS Special Interest Group (SIG)
ITS SIG
Special Interest Group formed in 1997 to explore the benefits of ITS to APEC Economies
Chaired by Australia with nominally 10 Economies participating
ITS SIG Strategy: A protocol for the development of a framework for ITS standards for APEC
Identify needs for ITS standards, develop joint representations of their priorities
Work within ISO Technical Committee 204, Transport Information and Control Systems (TICS), to develop standards
Adopt ISO standards

5. ISO Technical Committee 204
Scope - Standardization of information, communication, and control systems in the field of urban and rural surface transportation, including intermodal and multimodal aspects, of:
public transport,
commercial transport,
emergency services, and
commercial services
Participating countries including eight APEC-member Economies

10. Electronic Payment Use Case
Toll
Electronic Payment Use Case
Transactions cover fee collection systems concerning vehicle related transport services (eg toll, parking, route guidance, fare collection)
Payment Means
Contract between Traveller and external Issuer via Collection Agent. Collection Agent transacts credit to an electronic purse. Clearing Operator receives registration of credit payment means for Traveller
Fare Collection
Collect fares from public users on-board a public transport vehicle for use of the current public services. Traveller must provide payment instrument

11. Electronic Payment Use Case (concluded)
Toll
Electronic Payment Use Case (concluded)
Vehicle Charges
Facilities for electronic fee collection from vehicles through roadside collection points.
Payment Transaction
Maintains a centralized store of data on prices (tariff) being charged. Enables Drivers and Travellers to pay for tolls, fares and parking lot charges plus other services in advance
Journey Payment
Provides for trip confirmation and Traveller’s advanced payments
On-Trip Traveller Information
Provides Travellers with access to travel information while enroute

13. Selected ITS Standards Being Developed (EC-related)
Core TICS Reference Architecture, TR
Reference Model Architecture for Generic AVI/AEI, 14814
Standard AVI/AEI Generic System Specifications, 14815
Numbering Schemes for Generic AVI/AEI, 14816
Electronic Fee Collection Architecture (preliminary work item 5.1)
Security Services Framework for EFC (preliminary work item 5.2)

14. Summary
Electronic Commerce is an emerging focus within certain aspects of the Intelligent Transportation System
ITS Standards are evolving to facilitate interoperability in anticipation of user needs
Further collaboration could facilitate both Electronic Commerce and ITS within APEC-member Economies
