C-ITS interoperability and standardisation in logistics

Germán Herrero (ATOS)

Road freight transport and ITS

Road transportation is the maximum exponent of the transport sector, especially of the freight transport sector and a vast amount of ITS technologies are already available

Moving from single, siloed systems and organisations

to an connected network of capabilities

While todays transport services is linearly organized and optimized within the boundaries of organizational and system siloes… C-ITS & Logistics of the future will fulfill individual

user needs by a collaborative and agile network of capabilities

Interoperability & CO-GISTICS

ETSI ITS Reference architecture as main input based on the physical architecture of the CO-GISTICS Services >> support of modular-based integration

Facilities layer: Use of standardized messages

and protocols in ITS >> i.e CAM, SPAT…

Access layer: Short range comm: ETSI ITS-G5

Long range comm: LTE – 3g/4g & Ethernet networks

CO-GISTICS Services Specification

7 different pilot sites, with different site-specific requirements and services Added a lot of complexity

5 different types of services: These services are diverse in terms of the involved physical components, business processes and information technology standards they employ. Thus, there cannot be a single business or technical architecture for the CO-GISTICS Ecosystem.

Information flow Description From->To

1. OBU SA request The SA service installed in the OBU starts interaction with

the infrastructure. The service requests the speed

recommendations for the near intersections and route. Data

elements:

- Vehicle_ID+Vehicle attributes (vehicle position,

path…)

SA app -> OBU SA

service

2a. Vehicle

position+path The RSU communication service requests the speed

recommendations for the near intersections and route. Data

elements:

- Vehicle_ID+Vehicle attributes (vehicle position,

path…)

OBU SA service ->

Itinerary BO

2. TOPO+SPAT1 RSU collects the information of the current status of the

traffic lights, sensors and geographical information of the

road side. Data elements:

- TOPO message (intersection geometry…)

- SPAT message (traffic signal status, min/max residual

time…)

RSU -> RSU

communications

3. RSU Response The RSU communications sends the information to the

vehicle OBU of the status and the timetochange. Data

elements:

- Status

- Timetochange

RSU -> OB SA service

RSU status RSU provides static/recent information of road conditions

- ID-RSU + road attributes (status, speed

recommendation…)

This flow is more static/recent data oriented and the flow.

RSU -> TMC BO

Config-info RSU The traffic management center manages and updates the

RSU units. Data elements

ID-RSU + RSU attributes config (status, speed

recommendation…)

This flow is more static/recent data oriented and the flow.

TMC BO -> RSU

Driver HMI update Information provided to the driver including visual

displays, audible information and warnings, and feedback.

The updates inform the driver about available delivery

areas, route updates and the current status of vehicle on-

board equipment

OBU SA service -> SA

app

CO-GISTICS services brings together different actors and systems representing

all parts of the C-ITS

Standardization benefits Efficiency Collaboration Safety Sustainability

Summary

Interoperability is not restricted to technical aspects of a TMC or road transport operator >> it must be established on all levels of cooperation and collaboration of co-working organisations and their technical system

CO-GISTICS services and pilots using ITS Standards have provided proof of concept that technology is maturing, reducing risks of a fragmented and non-interoperable system in the coming years Using standards at several layers (access, facilities, data models…) address

interoperable issues and allow new services coming in the next years (C-ITS and automation)

Challenge about C-ITS systems interoperability across borders with same service levels to gain full benefits for all drivers, including truck drivers More technical specifications on interaction between freight operators and ITS for

specific use cases (urban ITS, intermodal Hubs…)

At access layer, 5G will enable the next generation of connected and automated driving and new mobility services, inclunding freight mobility services in urban – interurban areas
