What we do:
This proposed action is
made in relation to the EC ICT Standardisation Work Programme 2010 ‑ 2013. The
work programme identifies “Intelligent Transport” as a priority domain, for
which the ESOs are invited to address standardization needs in the intelligent
transport sector, in particular those arising from i2010 Intelligent Car,
eSafety and Green Car initiatives, and the Intelligent Transport System (ITS)
Action Plan.
In co-operative systems,
the Local Dynamic Map (LDM) is a key facility element which will be supporting
various Intelligent Transport System (ITS) applications, e.g. several active
road safety applications, by providing in real time the relative positions,
heading and current states of local ITS stations.
The purpose of
the work is to assure the European wide interoperability between applications
using the Local Dynamic Map in Vehicle ITS Stations and in Road Side Unit (RSU)
ITS Stations. It may also contribute
to the world wide harmonization by developing the European viewpoint.
The
interoperability shall be seen at two levels:
- At the
communication level between Vehicle ITS Stations and Road Side ITS Stations
through the use of common data elements well characterized in terms of quality
and security.
- At the
level of an ITS Station between applications and the LDM Management through
standardized APIs. This is enabling the development of the LDM and the
applications, independently, by different software components providers
The proposed
action is addressing interoperability issues between Vehicle and Road Side ITS
Stations and the openness of the cooperative ITS software market.
The STF 448 is funded under EC/EFTA contract SA/ETSI/EN
TR/453/2011-07.

Why we do it:
ETSI TC ITS/WG1 has been positioning the LDM as a key function of the ITS
station facilities layer. TC ITS/WG1
has also been working on the standardization of Co-operative Awareness Messages
(CAMs) and Decentralized Environmental Notification Messages (DNMs) which have
been the support of C2C-CC interoperability demonstrations achieved in October
2008 in Dudenhofen. CAMs and DNMs
will be the main sources of data for the LDM. Moreover, ETSI TC ITS/WG1 has been
scoping its work through the definition of a Basic Set of Applications (BSA)
which can be realistically deployed in a time frame of about 3 years after the
end of their standardization.
The STF 404 (co-funded under Specific Agreement number
SA/ETSI/ENTR/000/2009-13) has produced 10 recommendations for the scoping of LDM
(Local Dynamic Map) standardisation in the adopted TR 102 863 – “Vehicular
Communications; Basic set of Applications; Local Dynamic Map (LDM); Rationale
for and guidance on standardization”.
TC ITS WG1 has analyzed
the 10 recommendations which led to the establishment of the following two
standardisation priorities:
- Development of standard LDM data elements required
for the support of the M/453 application set. Focus mainly on dynamic data (Type
3 and Type 4). Take into consideration data quality and security.
- Development of standard Application Program
Interface (API) between the LDM Management and applications developed within
M/453.
Taking into account that the LDM is a common subject of interest for both
ETSI and CEN it is proposed to start simultaneously two task forces aiming at
developing different but harmonized standards:
- One ETSI STF focusing on the Vehicle ITS Station and
on the applications being considered in WG1, that is to say road safety and
Electric Vehicle cooperative ITS.
- One CEN Project Team focusing on the Road Side ITS
Station and on traffic management applications
Both will have to take into account some related other work on the LDM
especially the work of ISO TC 204 and the work of ETSI TC ITS WG1 on Common Data
Dictionary (DTS/ITS-0010022).
The availability of standard data elements and of
standard API will be a strong enabling factor for the deployment of cooperative
vehicle and road side units supporting road safety and traffic efficiency
management applications which can be developed independently by various
suppliers.
How we do it:
The following tasks have been identified for the STF:
Review the applications being proposed in
the scope of the M/453 mandate. Identify data elements
associated to these applications and the applications
definitions, functional and operational requirements.
From this review converge
with the CEN Project Team on common standard data elements including quality (accuracy,
freshness, confidence level, precision, coverage…etc.) and security features.
Verify that the proposed
standard data elements are consistent with the Common data dictionary and other
data elements (static type 1 and type 2) developed by ISO TC 204 WG3.
From the applications
definitions, functional and operational requirements study their interfaces
(interactions) with the local dynamic map management.
From this study derive some
standard API comprising some common part and specific parts.
Prepare a draft EN to TC
ITS/WG1 with the objective after review and completion to be adopted by ETSI TC
ITS for public enquiry.
Support TC ITS in the
resolution of public enquiry comments received and assist in the finalisation of
the Final Draft EN to be approved by TC ITS to be sent for National Voting.
ETSI TC ITS confirms that
all efforts will be taken to accommodate any negative remarks in order to ensure
the proper finalisation of the EN.
Outcome of the action will be an ETSI EN for Local Dynamic Map
standardization which shall include standard data elements specification and API
specification.
The proposed action will be carried out in close cooperation with CEN TC 278 and
ISO TC 204 working groups 3, 9 and 18 and will also take into consideration the
results of completed EC FP7 projects. It will work closely with the EC project
Drive C2X. The cooperation with the field trial project DRIVE C2X is
particularly important as it prepares and conducts Field-Operational Tests (FoTs)
on cooperative systems and is associated with various national field test
projects across Europe, such as SCOREF in France,
simTD in Germany and also in Italy, Spain, Sweden and Finland.
Deliverables:
The STF will produce EN 302 895 (DEN/ITS-0010005) Vehicular
Communications; Basic Set of Applications; Local Dynamic Map (LDM)
Specification.
The STF will also produce an Interim Report and a Final Report for the
EC/EFTA:
-
Interim Report to be delivered to EC/EFTA before

-
Final Report to be delivered to EC/EFTA before 31
December 2013.
