ETSI ETSI EN 302 637-2 V1.3.2 (2014-11) 7 Introduction Cooperative awareness within road traffic means that road users and roadside infrastructure are informed about each other's position, dynamics and attributes. Road users are all kind of road vehicles like cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles or even pedestrians and roadside infrastructure equipment including road signs, traffic lights or barriers and gates. The awareness of each other is the basis for several road safety and traffic efficiency applications with many use cases as described in ETSI TR 102 638 [i.1]. It is achieved by regular exchange of information among vehicles (V2V, in general all kind of road users) and between vehicles and road side infrastructure (V2I and I2V) based on wireless networks, called V2X network and as such is part of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). The information to be exchanged for cooperative awareness is packed up in the periodically transmitted Cooperative Awareness Message (CAM). The construction, management and processing of CAMs is done by the Cooperative Awareness basic service (CA basic service), which is part of the facilities layer within the ITS communication architecture ETSI EN 302 665 [1] supporting several ITS applications. The CA basic service is a mandatory facility for all kind of ITS-Stations (ITS-S), which take part in the road traffic (vehicle ITS-S, personal ITS-S, etc.). The present document focuses on the specifications for CAMs transmitted by all vehicle ITS-Ss participating in the V2X network. Nevertheless, the present document defines the CAM format with flexibility in order to be easily extendable for the support of other types of ITS-Ss or future ITS applications. The requirements on the performance of the CA basic service, the content of the CAM and the quality of its data elements are derived from the Basic Set of Applications (BSA) as defined in ETSI TR 102 638 [i.1] and in particular from the road safety applications as defined in ETSI TS 101 539-1 [i.8], ETSI TS 101 539-2 [i.9], and ETSI TS 101 539-3 [i.10].

7 ETSI EN 302 637-2 V1.3.2 (2014-11)
Introduction
Cooperative awareness within road traffic means that road users and roadside infrastructure are informed about each
other's position, dynamics and attributes. Road users are all kind of road vehicles like cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles
or even pedestrians and roadside infrastructure equipment including road signs, traffic lights or barriers and gates. The
awareness of each other is the basis for several road safety and traffic efficiency applications with many use cases as
described in ETSI TR 102 638 [i.1]. It is achieved by regular exchange of information among vehicles (V2V, in general
all kind of road users) and between vehicles and road side infrastructure (V2I and I2V) based on wireless networks,
called V2X network and as such is part of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS).
The information to be exchanged for cooperative awareness is packed up in the periodically transmitted Cooperative
Awareness Message (CAM). The construction, management and processing of CAMs is done by the Cooperative
Awareness basic service (CA basic service), which is part of the facilities layer within the ITS communication
architecture ETSI EN 302 665 [1] supporting several ITS applications.
The CA basic service is a mandatory facility for all kind of ITS-Stations (ITS-S), which take part in the road traffic
(vehicle ITS-S, personal ITS-S, etc.). The present document focuses on the specifications for CAMs transmitted by all
vehicle ITS-Ss participating in the V2X network. Nevertheless, the present document defines the CAM format with
flexibility in order to be easily extendable for the support of other types of ITS-Ss or future ITS applications.
The requirements on the performance of the CA basic service, the content of the CAM and the quality of its data
elements are derived from the Basic Set of Applications (BSA) as defined in ETSI TR 102 638 [i.1] and in particular
from the road safety applications as defined in ETSI TS 101 539-1 [i.8], ETSI TS 101 539-2 [i.9], and ETSI
TS 101 539-3 [i.10].

Foreword
This draft European Standard (EN) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Intelligent Transport System
(ITS), and is now submitted for the combined Public Enquiry and Vote phase of the ETSI standards EN Approval
Procedure.
The present document is part 2 of a multi-part deliverable covering Vehicular Communications; Basic Set of
Applications, as identified below:
Part 1: "Functional Requirements";
Part 2: "Specification of Cooperative Awareness Basic Service";
Part 3: "Specification of Decentralized Environmental Notification Basic Service";
The specification of the CA basic service was initially developed by the European Car-to-Car Communication
Consortium [i.2]. The service was evaluated by several initiatives such as the C2C-CC demonstration in 2008, ETSI
Plugtests events and European projects including PRE-DRIVE C2X, DRIVE C2X, SafeSpot, CVIS, CoVeL, eCoMove,
SCOR@F and simTD. These evaluation efforts have provided feedback to ETSI TC ITS.
The present document replaces TS 102 637-2 in whole. It includes improvements and enhancements of the CA basic
service specifications in TS 102 637-2 according to the feedback provided by the various initiatives.

Proposed national transposition dates

Introduction
Cooperative awareness within road traffic means that road users and roadside infrastructure are informed about each
other's position, dynamics and attributes. Road users are all kind of road vehicles like cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles
or even pedestrians and roadside infrastructure equipment are road signs, traffic lights or barriers and gates. The
awareness of each other is the basis for several road safety and traffic efficiency applications with many use cases as
described in [i.1]. It is achieved by regular exchange of information among vehicles (V2V, in general all kind of road
users) and between vehicles and road side infrastructure (V2I and I2V) based on wireless networks, called V2X
network and as such is part of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS).

7 Draft ETSI EN 302 637-2 V1.3.0 (2013-08)
The information to be exchanged for cooperative awareness is packed up in the periodically transmitted Cooperative
Awareness Message (CAM). The construction, management and processing of CAMs is done by the Cooperative
Awareness basic service (CA basic service), which is part of the facilities layer within the ITS communication
architecture [1] supporting several ITS applications.
The CA basic service is a mandatory facility for all kind of ITS-Stations (ITS-S), which take part in the road traffic
(vehicle ITS-S, personal ITS-S, etc.). The present document focuses on the specifications for CAMs transmitted by all
vehicle ITS-Ss participating in the V2X network. Nevertheless, the present document defines the CAM format with
flexibility in order to be easily extendable for the support of other types of ITS-Ss or future ITS applications.
The requirements on the performance of the CA basic service, the content of the CAM and the quality of its data
elements are derived from the Basic Set of Applications (BSA) as defined in [i.1] and in particular from the road safety
applications as defined in [i.8], [i.9], and [i.10].
