C-ITS Compliance Assessment Framework for Australia and New Zealand
04 December 2018
Austroads:
Austroads has published a report assessing
options for the development of a compliance assessment framework (CAF)
for cooperative
intelligent transport systems (C-ITS) in Australia and
New Zealand.
C-ITS deployment is in its infancy. Europe and the USA are leading the
global developments, driven by the industry wanting to develop the
automotive market by bringing voluntary C-ITS services quickly into the
market.
In Australia and New Zealand significant C-ITS research work has been
undertaken. Moreover, both countries are proactively undertaking
connected and
automated vehicle trials.
The technology is rapidly evolving and the public and private sectors
are investing substantial amounts into developing and testing C-ITS
technologies. Industry has stated its intention to start large-scale
deployment of C-ITS enabled vehicles in 2019. For this to happen,
coordination is urgently needed.
A C-ITS compliance assessment framework validates ITS stations through a
set of tests intended to assess the level of their compliance throughout
their whole life cycle. The tests ensure that only valid ITS stations
are deployed in the field and are safe, fit for purpose, interoperable
and support an open vendor market.
The report covers the key findings from a literature review and the
stakeholder consultations, and describes the main options for the C-ITS
CAF. It also provides guidance relating to key topics, such as
governance architecture and approval processes.
Recommendations for the main tasks for further development and
implementation of an ANZ C-ITS CAF include
-
Set up an ANZ C-ITS Platform
-
Determine the overall objective, role and scope of the ANZ C-ITS CAF
-
Set up the C-ITS governance model
-
Prepare the establishment of the SCMS
-
Determine the approval procedures and conformity assessment criteria.
