Traffic and Travel Information (TTI) - TTI messages via cellular networks - Part 7: Performance requirements for onboard positioning

This CEN/TS defines the specific interfaces and functionality of traffic telematics (TT) services based on the use of cellular networks. Device manufacturers are enabled to develop terminal equipment compatible to services based on this CEN/TS. This will allow for interoperability of different terminal equipment and service providers which allows competition between service providers and terminal manufacturers. Furthermore it sets the scene for international availability of these services.
This CEN/TS specifies
•   TT-specific interfaces between terminal and service centre. This especially incorporates the message sets of the application data protocols and the service-independent communication handling (including conditional access and transport protocols).
•   Functionality, procedures and requirements of basic terminal components as well as their interaction with the service centre. This especially comprises conditional access and security mechanisms.
•   Service Specifications, which are essential to ensure consistent behaviour of terminal and service centre.
The services incorporated within this issue comprise:
•   breakdown and emergency services
•   interactive traffic information services
•   broadcast traffic information services
•   navigation services (route assistance, route advice, homing)
•   operator services
•   general information services
•   floating car data collection
It is envisaged that future research and development will lead to improvements on the services listed above as well as to the creation of new services. Nevertheless this CEN/TS provides the framework for seamless integration of new features and services into the existing architecture.

CEN/TS 14821-7:2003
Introduction
Traffic and Traveller Information (TTI) may be disseminated through a number of services or means of
communication, covering static displays, portable terminals and in-vehicle equipment.
For all such services, the data to be disseminated, and the message structure involved in the various
interfaces, require clear definition and standards formats in order to allow competitive products to operate
with any received data.
This CEN/TS focuses on an application data specification whereby data is produced at a central location and
is disseminated via a cellular radio network. It addresses the data specifications for both downlink and uplink
existing between a central location and randomly located vehicles. It enables messages to be exchanged
between different systems and service providers adopting a variety of applications specifications.
Other technical specifications are being produced by the CEN TC278 Working Group 4 to cover TTI
dissemination via other means or services. This set of specifications is named GATS (Global Automotive
Telematics Standard). GATS provides the modular framework for implementing such traffic telematics
services on an open technology platform and is network - independent. In many details definitions are
necessary to ensure interoperability. Therefore, those detailed definitions are given in a network-specific part
(CEN/TS 14821-8). With the development of future mobile communication systems towards UMTS / IMT2000
the bottleneck of narrow-band data communication might fade. Due to its modular structure, the GATS
framework and applications are prepared for that due to its network-independence. The same holds for
emerging technologies for positioning which today is almost exclusively based on GPS.
Other relevant standard developments are, independent from telematics, the application-independent
Wireless Application Protocol (WAP), enabling mobile access to the Internet. It is understood that these
emerging technologies might fit into the framework of telematics applications in future WAP-versions. For the
time being, GATS already today independently from WAP enables access to telematics services. Utilisation
of GATS on a WAP protocol stack and identifying necessary adaptation of WAP specifications (if any) is
currently under investigation of the appropriate groups within WAP-Forum and GATS-Forum.

4. Minimum Onboard Positioning Performance Requirements for

Traffic Telematics Terminal Devices
4.1 Introduction
The development and implementation of telematics services such as navigation services or emergency and
breakdown management make it necessary to develop standardised requirements for the positioning
components of road vehicle terminal devices.
This document contains performance requirements for the positioning modules of the first generation of
onboard traffic telematics terminal devices. These requirements are based on one hand on the quality
requirements for the different traffic telematics services and on the other hand on the need to implement
simple and cost effective solutions suitable for automotive applications.
According to the Global Automotive Telematics Standard (GATS) several telematics services are offered to
customers of the private, public and commercial transport sectors. These services comprise
• security services,
• navigation services,
• traffic information,

• general information services and

• traffic situation determination.
These applications impose differing requirements on the performance of the positioning components of
telematic onboard units. This document describes the requirements for such components in terms of
• coverage,
• latency,

• accuracy,

• availability,
• continuity and
• integrity.
The performance requirements set out in the following section are based on miscellaneous standards and
surveys as well as experimental results obtained utilising state of the art technology. They differ according to
the needs imposed by the different services. Their fulfilment is mandatory, however the application of specific
technologies is not prescribed and left at the discretion of the equipment manufacturers.
4.2 Required Positioning Performance
According to the European Radionavigation Plan (ERNP) "navigation" can be defined as "the safe and
expeditious conduct of a craft from departure to destination". Therefore a system defined as "navigation aid"
is considered to be necessary for the safety of the craft using it and capable of providing the navigational
information in real-time. Other applications where for example the location of a vehicle has not to be
determined in real-time or on the vehicle itself, nor would a malfunction directly endanger it, are described
with the terms "location" and "positioning". All road vehicle applications referred to in this document fall into
this category.
In order to enable a flawless provision of traffic telematics services the positioning modules of terminal
devices must fulfil the requirements set out in this document. Generally, these requirements are defined using
the definitions given in this CEN/TS and are closely related to the verification method described in 4.4:
It is obvious that for a successful implementation of the services mentioned above all requirements must be
met simultaneously.

SIST-TS CEN/TS 14821-7:2003
CEN/TS 14821-7:2003
4.2.1 Coverage Requirements

The positioning components of traffic telematics units must fulfil the requirements mentioned in the following
sections within the physical boundaries specified below (minimum requirements):
• geographical coverage: Europe
• dynamic coverage: - velocity: 0 - 250 km/h
2
- acceleration: 0 - 1g (1g = 9.80665 m/s )
n n
- yaw rate: 0 - 60°/s.
4.2.2 Latency Requirements
4.2.2.1 Cold Start
The cold start behaviour is defined by the time to first fix (TTFF) of position with the required accuracy after
the device is switched on
• upon commissioning,
• following prolonged downtimes (days/weeks or longer),

• following separation of the terminal device from its power supply (main & backup), or
• following relocation over long distances without activation of the positioning module.
The cold start TTFF should not be longer than 240 seconds during vehicle motion and with clear view of the
sky.
4.2.2.2 Warm Start
The warm start behaviour is characterised by the time until the position information stored in the unit's
memory before the system was last switched off is made available for service initialisation as well as by the
time to first fix (TTFF) of new position information with the required accuracy after the device is switched on
in all situations not covered by 4.2.2.1.
The time until stored position information is available should not be longer than 5 seconds.
The warm start TTFF should not be longer than 30 seconds during vehicle motion and with clear view of the
sky.
4.2.3 Requirements for Positioning Performance Parameters
4.2.3.1 Security Services
Security Services comprise breakdown, call for help and emergency services (see CEN/TS 14821-6). Due to
their nature, security services impose stringent requirements on the positioning modules of traffic telematics
terminal devices. Accuracy and continuity are key parameters to assure the functionality of the service, since
in these cases it is necessary to locate a damaged vehicle with a high probability even in adverse conditions
as e.g. in urban canyons, forests, tunnels, etc. Obviously, emergency management is here the more critical
case. To locate a vehicle that has issued an emergency or breakdown call the onboard unit transmits a mes-
sage to the service centre that contains information about the vehicle's actual position. The format of this
message is specified in CEN/TS 14821-3. It basically consists of a chain of waypoints the vehicle has passed
along its last few kilometres. At the service centre these waypoints are used to locate the vehicle on a digital
road map. The algorithm that determines when and how the waypoints are set by the onboard unit is
described in CEN/TS 14821-7. Table 4-1 describes the required performance.

‡: The time of an outage should not exceed 5 seconds.
*: This value is to be understood as an overall average probability of uninterrupted operation. Actual continuity may vary depending on
the environmental conditions in which the vehicle is involved.
4.2.3.2 Navigation Services
Navigation services comprise homing, route briefing and orientation assistance. Whereas the homing service
is meant to give the user only a direction and distance information between his actual position and a specified
location, the route briefing and orientation assistance services take into account actual motorways and
waypoints as well as the actual traffic situation to calculate a well defined route. Therefore navigation services
also impose stringent requirements on the performance of positioning modules of traffic telematics terminal
devices. The navigation services are described in CEN/TS 14821-6.
To locate a vehicle that has issued a route request message the onboard unit transmits a message to the
service centre that contains information about the vehicle's actual location. The format of this message is
specified in CEN/TS 14821-3. It basically consists of a chain of waypoints the vehicle has passed along its
last few kilometres. At the service centre these waypoints are used to locate the vehicle on a digital road
map. The algorithm that determines when and how the waypoints are set by the onboard unit is described in
CEN/TS 14821-7.
The required positioning performance parameters for navigation services are summarised in Table 4-2.

4.2.3.3 Traffic Information Services
Traffic information services provide information about the traffic situation in specific areas as e.g. within a
circular area around the vehicle's actual location or in a specified geographical area. The specifications for
these services are described in CEN/TS 14821-6.
To locate a vehicle that has issued a traffic information request message the onboard unit transmits a
message to the service centre, which consists of the actual position and direction of motion of the vehicle.
The required positioning performance parameters for traffic information services are summarised in the
following table.
