Collaboration on Intelligent Transport Systems Communication Standards

The intent of the Collaboration is to provide a globally recognized forum for the creation of an internationally accepted, globally harmonized set of ITS communication standards of the highest quality in the most expeditious manner possible to enable the rapid deployment of fully interoperable ITS communication-related products and services in the global marketplace by:
  • Promoting and cross-referencing existing standards,
  • Modifying and extending existing standards where indicated, and
  • Developing new standards where necessary.

Participation is open to:

  • Representatives of ITU Member States, Sector Members, Associates and Academia, and any individual from a country which is a member of ITU who wishes to contribute to the work,
  • Any individual from a national, regional or international SDO who wishes to contribute to the work.

Suggested List of Initial Work Items
Potential initial Work Items include:
  1. Perform a study of identified ITS application requirements so that needed communication capabilities and performance can be properly defined. [Reporting form for ITS communications requirements]
  2. Perform a gap analysis and quality assessment of current ITS communications standards and create an action plan to address identified needs.
  3. Converge, harmonize, and incorporate appropriate published and emerging ITS communication standards (regardless of their SDO source) into proper ITU Recommendations.
  4. Create a complete, coherent and effective package of security frameworks and standards for use within ITS communications.
  5. Develop standards to govern the interaction of drivers with communication devices brought into vehicles (such as smart phones).
  6. Investigate regulatory and legislative actions necessary to facilitate the deployment of ITS communication products and services based on the ITS communication standards being developed.
  7. Review mobility network services and ITS communications for their application as a ‘last resort’ supplement to other communication systems for emergency and disaster handling.
