Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/209Show full title

2. REQUIREMENTS TO STRENGTHEN COMPATIBILITY AND COHERENCE WITH EXISTING STANDARDS AND TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS U.K.

The coherence of existing European, international or other globally used standards shall be checked (i.e. taking into account the work not only of CEN, Cenelec and ETSI, but also DATEX II, UTMC, OTS, ISO, IEC, ITU, etc.), potential gaps shall be assessed and compatible or open solutions proposed, either with the intention of providing for harmonisation and enhancement of existing standards or development of new interoperable standards and other specifications where appropriate. The development of new standards and specifications needs to build on the existing ones and to identify architectural or connectivity requirements.

In the domain of public transport, and particularly with respect to multimodal information and smart ticketing, such a need for coherence will concern a broad set of standards and technical specifications, in particular: Transmodel(1), IFOPT(2), SIRI(3), NeTEx(4), IOPTA(5) and ISO(6).

In the domain of alternative fuel vehicles and infrastructure, any new standards and specifications should be made compatible and complementary to ETSI TS 101 556-3(7).

The adaptability of general standards to the urban environment also needs to be considered, and potentially further developed. It is notably the case of DATEX II(8) providing for the exchange of traffic related data, described through specific profiles. It appears as a pre-requisite for establishing interoperability and continuity of services between the urban and interurban environments or networks. Such task can be best performed by ensuring a close cooperation with the DATEX II Strategic Group and Technical Group.

The work conducted through this mandate will need to anticipate the future deployment of cooperative systems within urban areas. It will be related to previous standardisation efforts in the domain of vehicle to vehicle and vehicle to infrastructure communications, that were led within the scope of the standardisation request M/453, jointly managed by CEN and ETSI, and the outcome of the ongoing work carried out by the experts of the C-ITS platform established in November 2014 by the Commission (in particular its standardisation and business cases working groups)(9).
