Introduction
Intelligent transport systems (ITS) are transport systems in which advanced information, communication,
sensor and control technologies, including the Internet, are applied to increase safety, sustainability,
efficiency, and comfort.
A distinguishing feature of ‘ITS’ is its communication with outside entities.
Some ITS systems operate autonomously, for example, ‘adaptive cruise control’ uses radar/lidar and/or
video to characterize the behaviour of the vehicle in front and adjust its vehicle speed accordingly. Some
ITS systems are informative, for example, ‘variable message signs’ at the roadside or transmitted into
the vehicle, provide information and advice to the driver. Some ITS systems are semi-autonomous in
that they are largely autonomous but rely on ‘static’ or ‘broadcast’ data, for example, GNSS (2.22) based
‘SatNav’ systems operate autonomously within a vehicle but are dependent on receiving data broadcast
from satellites in order to calculate the location of the vehicle.
Cooperative Intelligent transport systems (C-ITS) are a group of ITS technologies where service provision
is enabled by, or enhanced by, the use of ‘live’, present situation related, dynamic data/information from
other entities of similar functionality [for example, from one vehicle to other vehicle(s)], and/or between
different elements of the transport network, including vehicles and infrastructure [for example,
from the vehicle to an infrastructure managed system or from an infrastructure managed system to
vehicle(s)]. Effectively, these systems allow vehicles to ‘talk’ to each other and to the infrastructure.
These systems have significant potential to improve the transport network.
A distinguishing feature of ‘C-ITS’ is that data is used across application/service boundaries.
This Technical Report is a ‘living document’ and as our experience with C-ITS develops, it is intended that
it will be updated from time to time, as and when we see opportunities to improve this Technical Report.

Part 4:
Minimum system requirements and behaviour for core
systems
1 Scope
The scope of this Technical Report is, as an informative document, to identify potential critical
minimum system requirements and behaviour for core systems issues that C-ITS service provision may
face or introduce, to consider strategies for how to identify, control, limit or mitigate such issues. The
objective of this Technical Report is to raise awareness of and consideration of such issues and to give
pointers, where appropriate, to subject areas and, where available, to existing standards deliverables
that provide specifications for all or some of these aspects. This Technical Report does not provide
specifications for solutions of these issues.
2 Terms and definitions
2.1
anonymity
lacking individuality, distinction, and recognizability within message exchanges
2.2
anonymous certificates
certificate which contains a pseudonym of the system user instead of their real identity in the subject
of the certificate and thus preventing other system service recipients from identifying the certificate
owner when the certificate is used to sign or encrypt a message in the connected vehicle/highway
system (C-ITS, connected vehicle)
Note 1 to entry: The real identity of the anonymous certificates can be traced by authorized system operators by
using the services of a registration authority and/or certification authority.
2.3
application

software application
2.4
application service
service provided, for example, by a service provider accessing data from the IVS within the vehicle
in the case of C-ITS, via a wireless communications network, or provided on-board the vehicle as the
result of software (and potentially also hardware and firmware) installed by a service provider or to a
service provider’s instruction
2.5
authenticity
property of being of undisputed origin and not a copy, authenticated, and having the origin supported
by unquestionable evidence

4.2 Guidance
This Technical Report is designed to provide guidance and a direction for considering the issues
concerning minimum system requirements and behaviour for core systems associated with the
deployment of C-ITS service provision. It does not purport to be a list of all potential minimum system
requirements and behaviour for core systems factors, which will vary according to the scope of the core
system being provided, the regime of the jurisdiction, the location of the instantiation and to the form
of the instantiation, nor does it provide definitive specification. Rather, this Technical Report discusses
and raises awareness of the major minimum system requirements and behaviour for core
...
