The next 10 minutes

• Will identify the standards story in eSafety
• Will put it in a strategic context
• Will contemplate next steps

  and V-I communications
• Recs 13 14
• E112 data and data transfer protocols
• Rec 19

High level Meetings

• Public Authorities September 2004
• Focused on RTTI, eCall and HMI. Support for the
  concepts and the emerging conclusions enthusiasm
  to engage actively. No direct focus on standards
  
• Industry February 2005
• Participants Emphasise the role of
  standardisation, harmonisation, international
  co-operation and open in-vehicle platforms in
  accelerating the take-up of in-vehicle systems
  and safety

Where are we now?

• Rec 9
• Framework 6 Call on Co-operative systems
• Rec 13 14
• MoU
• Rec 19
• ITSSG Framework
• Rec 22
• Mandate 329

ITSSG the why and what
eSafety standards a broader context

• ITS has key role in delivering better transport,
  across Europe
• ITSSG set up by the ICT Standardisation Board
  with broad membership
• Strategic direction for ITS standards
• For ITS standards activities
• For the ITS community
• For the future

12
ITSSG Strategic Framework (1)

• Published November 2004
• European strategic context for ITS standards
• EC Transport Policies for 2010
• eEurope eSafety
• Economic competitiveness
• Standards should be relevant to and support
  delivery of this policy context

13
ITSSG Strategic Framework (2)

• Understanding the Role of Standards
• offers voluntary, bottom-up technical
  frameworks..
• ..and top-down protected interoperability and
  compatability
• Is the standards process efficient?
• Well-established mandates industry innovation
• Room for improvement? too slow, inflexible and
  resource-limited?

14
ITSSG current actions

• Disseminating the Strategic Framework
• Considering the standardisation process and make
  recommendations
• Will annually review high level work programmes
  and update framework
• Improving the links within and between ITS
  experts
• policy makers including the EU Commission
• industry stakeholders
• standardisation organisations

15
Where do we need to go from here?

• ITSSG has provided a strategic context and
  direction
• Some specific area action happening
• M329 on UWB
• M338 on EFC
• Individual standards development on RTTI, HMI etc
  
• But recommendation 9 remains largely outstanding
  no systematic assessment of standards needs for
  eSafety has been carried out at the detailed
  level.

16
Conclusions

• There is no doubt that
• standards have a key role to play in supporting
  an overall eSafety deployment strategy
• much good work has already been done
• within the eSafety family to identify issues and
  gaps and
• by those who have developed or are developing
  individual standards
• ITSSGs strategic framework document helps to set
  an overall context

17
And yet

• Perhaps the focus is not yet precise enough.
• Working Groups have identified subject area
  recommendations some mention standards.
• But has there really been a systematic analysis
  of where standards for eSafety might help support
  deployment?
• Should this form part of an overall deployment
  strategy?
