Why Harmonize?

Harmonize, when in the public interest:• Common hardware and software across regions can reduce development

and manufacturing costs– Economies of scale, encouraging private sector investment– Greater accessibility to international markets for suppliers lowers costs

and expands service for consumers• Improved interoperability across borders facilitates safety and commerce• Shared research, labor and results reduces costs• Access to best expertise• Accelerates deployment of ITS technologies

Process for Gap Analysis

• Process:

– Identify which standards are needed for interoperability in a complete C-ITS environment and emerging new technologies

– Identify when non-ITS specific standards can be used:

• Recommend available standards to adopt

• Include specific profiles of each standard when known

– Identify where ITS-specific standards are needed, particularly those interfaces that are in the public interest to open up:

• Identify proven standards to adopt

• Identify where adapting extant standards is best

• Identify gaps where there is a need to create new content with sufficient detail so that SDOs can identify how to satisfy it

Results provide:• Combined

viewpoints• Superset of

analytical elements

• Common element mapping with references

• Tools and databases that allow HTG7 analysis and publication

Preliminary Results

• Solutions: ~270• Triple Solutions: ~5,000• Recommendations: ~100 for Support and Day 1

• Types of Recommendations:– Development of new standard(s)– Revise a standard– Development of guidance or technical reports– Resolving overlaps

77* are defined as ASAP and 56* of those are relevant to the EU

*Results are preliminary and subject to change

• Gap/Overlap Assignments: ~1,000• Gap/Overlap Instances: ~15,000

• Recommendation Priority:– As Soon As Possible (ASAP)– Near-term– Medium-term– Future

Preliminary Results for Gap Analysis

Key Service Packages

•Security Credential Management (http://htg7.org/html/servicepackages/sp63.html)•Core Authorization (http://htg7.org/html/servicepackages/sp12.html)•Location and Time (http://htg7.org/html/servicepackages/sp108.html)•System Monitoring (http://htg7.org/html/servicepackages/sp100.html)

Cross-Cutting Issues

•Resolving Overlaps - where and when to resolve•C2C/C2F Security – app-layer authentication•Data Distribution – publish/subscribe, data discovery•Hybrid Communications – application agnostic use of multiple media

Practical Issues

•Electronic Regulations

Benefits of Outputs

• Benefits to Governments/Decision-Makers– Formal record of known issues– Set of recommended priorities

• Traced to issues, information flows, and service packages

• Website facilitates understanding of these issues

• Database allows refinement of priorities• Guidance on the level of international

interest– Recommendations provide enough detail to

provide direction to standards development efforts

14

• Benefits to the industry– Single reference architecture to enable meaningful

discussions across the globe• Facilitates information sharing • Promotes a shared vision

– Promotes reuse of standards

• Benefits to Standards Community– Provides an independent prioritized view of what

is needed– Allows for greater coordination among different

standards organizations– Identifies where harmonization is needed/most

beneficial
