ITS THE VISION
An ITS architecture that establishes a framework that industry organisations
can use to access and build confidence in ITS systems and enable trust
between systems requiring co-operation.
The established architecture may be used as a basis for test and
accreditation schemes thereby enabling trust and interoperability. This will
facilitate the sharing of key performance information and the transfer of
data between systems whilst fully understanding the implications on the
system design from the perspective of safety, security and integrity; both
in a normal working environment and fault situations.
THE FIRST STEPS
innovITS is managing a new R&D programme called facITS
Framework Architecture and Classification for Intelligent Transport Systems
The programme commenced in July 2008 and is planned to complete in March
2009.
The aim is to establish an initial draft of a conceptual framework
architecture for building our understanding of cooperative systems and their
components, with an emphasis upon safety, security and integrity.
The Focus of the programme is Vehicle Centric; considering vehicle
communications to both infrastructure and other vehicles. It is intended
that this will direct further work on this topic.
The initial phases of the programme are to define an initial classification
scheme and high level application specifications that will be used in
subsequent system design and model simulation phases.
A key project goal is to encourage the evolution, refinement and eventual
adoption of the Classification Scheme by industry stakeholders. The scheme
is also intended to be utilised, updated and improved during the development
phase of facITS
Key workshop to be held in London on the 2nd September 2008
10.30 - 16.00 BERR Conference Centre, 1 Victoria Street, Westminster, London
Link - LOCATION
At the initial workshop Phil Pettitt (innovITS CEO) will present the facITS
direction, aims and deliverables.
Dave Tindall from TRL who lead the first facITS work package will present
the initial classification scheme together with how the methodology was
established. Covering also the decisions that were taken to reach the
initial classification scheme and areas that will benefit from further
input.
The second phase of the project is being lead by SPA(ACPO-ITS). Jim Hammond
will show how the classification scheme is being used on a selection of
applications to not only improve the classification process but to provide
core data for input into the third System Design Phase.
Delegates will be encouraged to facilitate the input of comments, ideas and
considerations that they believe have not yet been taken into account or
weighted sufficiently.
The facITS architecture will interface with:-
Vehicles, Standard vehicle equipment and sensors, Nomadic devices, Vehicle
after fit equipment and sensors, V2Vcommunications, V2I communications,
Roadside communications, Roadside infrastructure, Back office systems,
onboard and offboard applications, Integrity between systems.
This first facITS workshop is directed at customers, system managers,
application and equipment providers together with communications providers
for vehicle centric ITS systems and components.
