Executive Summary

This deliverable D2.1 documents the content and the conclusions of the workshop “C-ITS

Deployment is underway!” – Part II. The workshop has been co-organised by CODECS and

the Amsterdam Group on 26 April 2016 in Amsterdam (The Netherlands). The event, being

the successor of the “C-ITS Deployment is underway!” workshop in September 2015 in Ros-

kilde (Denmark), featured C-ITS pilots and deployment initiatives in which meanwhile more

than ten European Member States are engaged. This forms a coherent basis for the deploy-

ment start with a shared view on Day One services.

Bringing together the C-ITS pilots and deployment initiatives in public workshops has evolved

into a successful format for progress reporting and knowledge sharing. The “C-ITS Deploy-

ment is underway!” workshops attract a growing number of deployment experts. They com-

plement the discussion and design of the shared vision and concluded actions for C-ITS de-

ployment which is in the focus of the European Commission’s C-ITS Platform.

As a consequence, the progress reporting shall be continued in further workshops in 2017,

which will also serve for advancing into more technical work on profiling of standards with

infrastructure involvement. It is obvious but noteworthy that CODECS is prepared to contrib-

ute its part to the overall goal of interoperable C-ITS services in Europe. However, the con-

secutive action items depend on discussions and agreements at strategy coordination level

(C-ITS Platform, Amsterdam Group) and support activity level.

1. Introduction

1.1. Preparation of C-ITS Deployment in Europe

Safe, efficient, reliable and environmental friendly mobility strongly builds on making full use

of the potential of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in transport. In recent

years, maturing technology, testing potential services in the field, and shaping the policy

framework, e. g. by the Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) Directive and related delegated

regulations, have stimulated the efforts towards deployment preparation of services that are

based on a Cooperative Intelligent Transport System (C-ITS). C-ITS is defined as a subset of

overall ITS that communicates and shares information between ITS stations (vehicles, road-

side, traffic control centre, personal mobile devices) to give advice or take actions with the

objective of improving safety, sustainability, efficiency and comfort beyond the scope of

stand-alone ITS [ETSI 2010]. C-ITS deployment is a cross-sector endeavour, with the auto-

motive industry and infrastructure organisations as core actors. The automotive industry

plans towards bringing vehicle-to-x communication onto European roads in 2019 [CAR 2

CAR 2015]. The industry plans are complemented by efforts of road authorities and opera-

tors to roll out adequate infrastructure at the roadside and to make traffic control centres fu-

ture proof for the next cooperative generation of technologies.

The preparation of C-ITS deployment involves elements of bottom-up- and top-down coordi-

nation. Different pilots and deployment initiatives have started from local and regional test

beds or living labs, maturing in a mid-term perspective into long distance corridor deploy-

ments covering substantial parts of the TEN-T core network. The pilots and deployment ini-

tiatives require the support of a policy framework which sets out common elements of the

deployment, e. g. common security and certificate policy, recommendations for compliance

assessment, privacy framework. Preparatory work for these elements, amongst a wider set

of deployment issues, is driven by the Platform for the Deployment of Cooperative ITS in the

EU (C-ITS Platform) which has been launched in 2014. The C-ITS Platform has delivered the

final report of its first phase in January 2016 [C-ITS Platform 2016]. The work of the C-ITS

Platform is complemented by the Amsterdam Group which connects the C-ITS pilots and

deployment initiatives with the goal of interoperable deployment which is facilitated by shar-

ing information as well as discussing and mitigating possible divergent approaches.

1.2. Supporting role of CODECS in C-ITS deployment

The mission of the Horizon 2020 Coordination and Support Action COoperative ITS DEploy-

ment Coordination Support (CODECS) is to support the initial deployment of vehicle-to-x

communication services in Europe. An agreed list of Day One services targeting at road safe-

ty, efficiency and driving comfort is available from the final report of the C-ITS Platform [C-ITS

Platform 2016]. Corridor projects and pilots are today arising all over Europe and form the

first examples of real C-ITS deployment. An aligned roll-out of systems and services still re-

mains challenging. To avoid fragmentation, missing interoperability of systems and lacking

coherency of services, CODECS acts as a nodal point pooling the interests, preferences and

requirements of all C-ITS stakeholders – also of those who might step into the deployment

process at a later stage. With this goal setting, CODECS supports the Amsterdam Group, the

C-ITS Deployment Platform of the European Commission, Standards Setting Organisations

and other key deployment players in coming to a concerted C-ITS roll-out across Europe.

1.3. Role of the workshop in the CODECS work program

The support to the coordination of deployment is organised around three fundamental work

packages of CODECS (WP 2: Coordination of initial deployment activities, WP 3: Roadmap-

ping for Cooperative ITS Deployment in Europe, WP 4: Strategy coordination support). For

all of them, a crucial step is the interactive discussion with the stakeholder network – not only

for starting the inventory on the technical as well as strategic deployment status, but also for

making the consolidated results and developed guidelines available and providing them for

discussion by high-level decision makers. This guiding three-step-process represented in all

work packages is illustrated in

Figure 1.

As outlined above, the first year of activity of CODECS has involved a large element of stock-

taking. Work Package 2 has organised two open workshops on deployment initiatives jointly

with the Amsterdam Group. The two workshops “C-ITS deployment is underway!” have sub-

stituted the initially planned webinar on the C-ITS deployment status. The first workshop has

taken place on 15th September 2015 in Roskilde, Denmark. A summary of the workshop re-

sults can be found on the CODECS website (CODECS 2015).

The second workshop “C-ITS deployment is underway!” Part II has taken place on 26th April

2016 in Amsterdam. The program of the workshop and the link to the presentations on the

CODECS website are featured in chapter 2 of this deliverable. The findings of the workshop

are reported in chapter 3.

2. Workshop program

The workshop has intended to provide a state-of-the-art overview of the C-ITS deployments

currently prepared in more than ten EU Member States. More than 50 participants from dif-

ferent sectors (including amongst others road administrations, road operators, automotive

industry, supplier industry, ITS Nationals, see Appendix 1 for details) have attended the

workshop. The program of the workshop is illustrated hereafter (Figure 2, see also

3. Report of the workshop findings

The introduction to the workshop has been provided by Torsten Geißler (BASt) as chairman

of the Amsterdam Group, and Sonja Eickmann (ITS automotive nord GmbH) as CODECS

project coordinator. They have welcomed the C-ITS experts to this second Amsterdam Group

& CODECS Workshop on C-ITS Deployment. The introductory statements have highlighted:

• the key role of the Amsterdam Group forming a strategic alliance of infrastructure

organisations and the automotive industry, being key actors for C-ITS deployment in

Europe,

• the interaction between the Amsterdam Group and the C-ITS corridor deployments,

• the role of support actions within Horizon 2020 and Connecting Europe Facility

(CEF), i.e. CODECS, CIMEC and EU ITS Platform (EU EIP), in leveraging the efforts

of the Amsterdam Group,

• the working model of CODECS in bringing stakeholders together (see

Figure 1),

• the achievements of CODECS so far (workshop on C-ITS deployment [Roskilde, Sep-

tember 2015], focus group discussion on C-ITS applications for cities at the Smart

City Expo World Congress [Barcelona, November 2015], workshop on functional

roadmapping [Prague, February 2016], CODECS-CIMEC city pool workshop [Lon-

don, March 2016]) and planned next steps (e.g. events organised at / in conjunction

with ITS European Congress [Glasgow, June 2016]).

The progress reporting on C-ITS pilots and deployment initiatives has started with the

C-ITS Corridor between the Netherlands, Germany and Austria, where colleagues from each

Member State (Sandro Berndt, BASt, Germany, Marko Jandrisits, ASFINAG, Austria, and

Fred Verweij, Rijkswaterstaat, The Netherlands) have presented their recent progress, find-

ings and issues:

• All have referred to the strategic goal of the transnational initiative being a carrier for

standardised, forward-looking and gradually expandable C-ITS services.

• Specifications for C-ITS services are available from all of the three countries. Most

notably, ECo-AT, covering the Austrian part of the C-ITS corridor, has released a total

set of 24 specification documents (recent version 3.5, more than 300 recipients,

available in English via www.eco-at.info). References to documents for the German

and Dutch part of the C-ITS Corridor are available at www.c-its-corridor.de and

www.its-corridor.nl.

• The service architecture making use of a smart mix of communication technologies

(hybrid communication involving ITS G5, cellular communication and also DAB+) is il-

lustrated by the example of the Road Works Warning Service. The conceptual dia-

gram is complemented by message samples from real life tests (Proof-of-Concept,

November 2015, A16, Netherlands) which illustrate the communication mix when ap-

proaching a road works warning site (strategic information via cellular communication,

tactical information via ITS G5 in the vicinity of road works, with information on road

works layout and speed limits).

• Tests with the OEMs and cross-tests are important recent issues. For example, the

ECo-AT test cycle in March 2016 (ECo-AT Living Lab in Vienna with Central ITS Sta-

14/06/17 Deliverable 2.1 17 of 24

tion, 24 Roadside ITS installations, road works trailer and stationary test area) has in-

volved amongst others 30 predefined events/messages sent out by 19 Road Side

Stations and 5 traffic lights sending intersection information. The OEMs were able to

receive, decode and interpret the ECo-AT message set. It has been proven that infra-

structure-based C-ITS messages work for vehicles: The data content is comprehen-

sible if properly encoded; and message positioning (points, traces) based on TCC da-

ta is accurate enough for vehicles to properly place messages. With regard to cross

testing, the Dutch colleagues have successfully tested their equipment during the in-

teroperability tests in Frankfurt (March 2016).

• The next steps involve amongst others progress in security (Automated PKI request

and certificate handling, full security implementation for trailers and backend systems)

and privacy issues (finalise „Privacy Concept“ for use vehicle data), testing (including

security and complete back end system), trial operation (second half of 2016, with up

to 20 trailers in Hessen) and preparation of cross-border testing.

• Issues mentioned beyond security and privacy (how to make full use of the probe ve-

hicle data opportunities for road operators?) have involved HMI issues, organisation

of skills development and knowledge management among road operators, profiling of

standards and message types.

The progress reporting on the C-ITS pilots and deployment initiatives has continued with

the presentations of SCOOP@F (Eric Ollinger, MEEM, France), NordicWay (Ilkka Ko-

tilainen, FTA, Finland) and the pilots in the Czech Republic (Marin Volny, INTENS, Czech

Republic). Progress, findings and points of attention can be summarised as follows:

• The SCOOP@F pilot (http://www.scoop.developpement-durable.gouv.fr) has now en-

tered into the second phase (2016-2018), targeting at a broader bundle of services

and making use of ITS G5 as well as cellular communication. The five pilot sites (Ile

de France, East Corridor between Paris and Strasbourg, Bretagne, Bordeaux, Isère)

remain the same. A new element in the second phase is also the cross testing in oth-

er countries (such as Spain, Portugal and Austria). The specifications of SCOOP@F

have become available also in English. Issues highlighted comprise amongst others

security (PKI architecture discussed with national agency ANSSI), privacy, and data

protection (change of pseudonym certificates after one hour as first attempt).

• The NordicWay (www.nordicway.net) presentation focuses on the pilots’ status in all

four participating Member States (Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway), and on

an architecture ensuring interoperability. The Finnish pilot Coop (Here-led consortium)

has technically demonstrated the performance of a cellular based C-ITS system. The

system performed well in all tests, providing information to correct users in target are-

as. The performance quality criteria from project goals as well the European ITS Plat-

form (EIP advanced) are met. The pilot with 1.000 road users has started in May

2016 (http://www.epressi.com/tiedotteet/logistiikka-ja-liikenne/road-users-on-the-ring-

roads-and-the-helsinki-turku-motorway-participants-wanted-for-trial-aimed-at-

improving-traffic-safety.html).The Swedish and Norwegian pilots involve, like in

SCOOP@F, also a fleet of equipped vehicles, supported with vehicles with receiving

capability. Interoperability and scalability are key consideration factors in the pilot. A

central position in the architecture has been given to the Interchange Server which

transfers messages between data publishers and data consumers based on the loca-

tion of the data consumer and established subscriptions.

14/06/17 Deliverable 2.1 18 of 24

• The C-ITS pilot and deployment initiatives in the Czech Republic are politically

backed by the national ITS action plan 2020 (adopted by the Government in May

2015), the ITS Implementation plan (IP ITS) composed from a pool of projects under

development (to be approved by the Government in 2016) and the C-ITS deployment

roadmap of the Ministry of Transport (Road and Motorway Department). The actors

in the Czech Republic try to geographically link to existing deployment initiatives such

as the C-ITS Corridor. Besides pilots (BaSIC, D5 C-ITS pilot between Prague and

Plzen) there is the ambition to equip a significant part of the new Prague motorway

ring road (Mirosovice – Rudna) with C-ITS communication technology (ITS G5). Fu-

ture deployment plans go beyond the motorway environment (maintenance vehicles,

roadworks safety trailers) and involve also urban applications (public transport fleet,

railroad crossings).

As the number of Member States becoming engaged in C-ITS pilots and deployment ini-

tiatives has significantly increased, the presentations of Graham Hanson (Department for

Transport, UK) and Tamas Tomaschek (Hungarian Public Roads Non-Profit PLC) com-

plete the progress overview:

• The A2/M2 (London to Dover) Connected Vehicle Corridor is derived from the road

investment strategy aiming at providing roadside WiFi capabilities on a number of mo-

torways in England such as M2, M20, M26, M25. The intention is to install a living la-

boratory for testing and evaluating future technologies. The planned Day One use

cases are consistent with the Day One list elaborated by the C-ITS Platform. The

A2/M2 Connected Vehicle Corridor is part of the InterCor proposal (linking UK with

Benelux and France) which has been submitted for CEF co-funding in February 2016.

The A2/M2 Programme encompasses the years 2016 to 2019. Progress has been

achieved amongst others in preparing the detailed design stage, procurement and

management of a series of feasibility studies (to identify services and infrastructure

for the pilot, to provide a framework for impact assessment, to define data manage-

ment requirements/new services) and track tests in May 2016.

• The improvement of road safety, especially at work zones, is one of the main goals of

the Hungarian Public Roads Company. The M1 pilot between Budapest and the Aus-

trian border in direction to Vienna has been realised under the framework of the

CROCODILE project. The pilot involves nearly 50 road side units (27 fixed, 20 mo-

bile) communicating road works warnings via the ITS G5 channel.

The progress overview of European C-ITS pilots and deployment initiatives has been

complemented with the view of different key actors in the C-ITS arena (Niels Peter Skov

Andersen, General Manager of the CAR 2 CAR Communication Consortium, Suzanne

Hoadley, Polis). The European Commission, ITS unit of DG MOVE, being the organiser

of the C-ITS Platform, has also contributed with a set of slides to the workshop:

• The European framework for C-ITS deployment comprises the policy level with the

preparation of the Delegated Act under the frame of the ITS Directive (2010/40/EU),

supported by the C-ITS Platform and accompanied by providing financial incentives

via CEF to the large scale deployment projects and initiatives. The second phase of

the C-ITS Platform (04/2016 – 09/2017) aims at implementing the recommendations

of the Final Report from the first phase of the platform [C-ITS Platform 2016], and at

contributing to the convergence of the connectivity and automation megatrends by

providing input on infrastructure issues and requirements to the GEAR 2030 process.

14/06/17 Deliverable 2.1 19 of 24

• The city perspective towards C-ITS deployment is motivated by key policies and ob-

jectives of urban transport (modal shift from car to public transport, bike and walking,

journey time reliability in all modes, safer roads for all, especially vulnerable road us-

ers, improved air quality and healthier citizens through active travel). The (interim) re-

sults of the CIMEC survey (http://cimec-project.eu/) highlight a mix of push and pull

measures as being suitable to approach the cities’ objectives. They are on a general

level aware of the potential benefits, but a more detailed understanding and engage-

ment is crucial for harvesting them. Coping with legacy systems, integration efforts

and also liability for provided information are important issues for the cities. What sort

of C-ITS pilot deployment is envisaged by cities is illustrated at the example of four

cities from being member in the Polis network (Newcastle, Trondheim, Kassel, Vero-

na). These cities have been active already in national or European city deployment pi-

lots (e.g. UR:BAN, COMPASS4D).

• Concerning vehicles, the technology basis for the initial C-ITS deployment is already

in place. However, parts of the framework are still missing for allowing a common Eu-

ropean deployment (e.g. regulatory and policy elements). Key focus areas to enable

deployment comprise spectrum, compliance assessment, security and privacy. A

number of questions on compliance assessment have to be addressed and dis-

cussed on European level, e. g.:

o Who sets the compliance assessment criteria?

o Can compliance assessment be a prerequisite for the enrolment in the securi-

ty framework?

o How to deal with equipment in the field that has passed compliance assess-

ment previously?

o How can we minimize retesting when using the equipment at other markets

using same standard/technology?

• The same holds true for the discussion and design of the security framework and pol-

icy as well as privacy issues, e. g. to consider CAM and DENM as personal data,

possible exemptions, current privacy legislation based on a one to one relation bet-

ween known parties not on a broadcast scenario (one-to-many not necessarily identi-

fied parties).

The progress overview of European C-ITS pilots and deployment initiatives has been

summarised by Torsten Geißler and complemented by Wim Broeders (MapTM) with a re-

port on the recent technical work on Long Term Road Works Warning:

• More than ten European Member States are active now in C-ITS pilots and deploy-

ment initiatives. This forms a coherent basis for the deployment start with a shared

view on Day One services making use of smart mix of hybrid communication (involv-

ing ITS G5 and cellular communication, potentially also others).

• The deployment starts on motorways but increasingly involves urban environments.

Most of the initiatives have started with focussing on personal transport, but more and

more also freight and logistics applications are envisaged.

• The Amsterdam Group focuses on its added value of facilitating C-ITS deployment by

sharing knowledge, expertise and lessons-learned in an expert community, and on

strategic alignment of the initial and future phases of C-ITS deployment.

14/06/17 Deliverable 2.1 20 of 24

• In terms of functional alignment of Day One applications, the experts active in the

Amsterdam Group have worked out a series of White Papers which contain functional

descriptions, message sets and triggering conditions. The White Papers for Road

Works Warning (RWW), In-vehicle Information (IVI), Signal Phase and Timing (SPaT)

and MAP data (MAP) are available from www.amsterdamgroup.eu.

• Recently, the initial focus on short term Road Works Warning has been broadened to

all types of Road Works Warning. A layered approach targets also on involving data

formats beyond DENM, i.e. IVI and MAP, in order to fulfil the requirements towards fu-

ture phases of connected and automated driving.

• The resources that are necessary to drive this interoperability and harmonisation pro-

cess are leveraged mostly via Horizon 2020 Coordination and Support Actions (e.g.

CODECS, CIMEC) and CEF studies (EU ITS Platform, perspectively C-Roads).

4. Conclusions and next steps

Bringing together the C-ITS pilots and deployment initiatives in a series of workshops has

evolved into a successful format for progress reporting and knowledge sharing. The “C-ITS

Deployment is underway!” workshops attract a growing number of deployment experts. It

complements the discussion and design of the shared vision and concluded actions for C-

ITS deployment which is in the focus of the European Commission’s C-ITS Platform. The

hands-on experience from preparing deployment will be continuously fed into the expert

groups of the C-ITS Platform.

Some of the next steps are pretty much obvious (planned and partly already performed):

• As in previous years, the Amsterdam Group has organised a Special Interest Session

at the ITS European Congress in Glasgow (7 June 2016). The session labelled as

“Gearing up for C-ITS deployment“ is a condensed version of the Amsterdam Work-

shop documented in the present deliverable. It has attracted a much wider network of

C-ITS actors also outside Europe. Presentations and a summary report are already

available at the website www.amsterdamgroup.eu.

• The conference presence of the deployment initiatives has been complemented by

CODECS providing room for a more horizontal perspective on "Transition challenges

towards cooperative and automated driving”. CODECS has invited congress visitors

to a panel discussion of main challenges in realising cooperative and automated traf-

fic and transport in Europe, see www.codecs-project.eu. Guiding questions of the dis-

cussion have been open issues for a strategy framework promoting seamless C-ITS

deployment, how to organise profiling of standards with infrastructure involvement

and Roadmapping beyond Day One: Issues for research, testing and standardisation

for the transition towards cooperative and automated driving.

• The success of the workshop format calls for a new edition of the progress reporting.

A suitable point in time, also mid-term of the second phase of the C-ITS Platform,

would be in the first quarter of 2017.

• This deliverable will be accompanied by a second one analysing the State-of-the-Art

of C-ITS deployment from the perspectives of the different initiatives, most pertinent

issues and key actors involved.

• Meanwhile, assessed from a global perspective on CODECS, the support action has

entered the phase of consolidation (see Figure 1) in its second year of operation. This

places also some emphasis, in particular on the work towards profiling of standards

with infrastructure involvement and, more general, on providing guidance for C-ITS

deployment. The CODECS partnership is prepared to deliver its part, together with

other entities and projects such as EU EIP and perspectively the C-Roads platform.
