Importance of global standards Global standards are key to

ubiquitous deployment Scale Interoperability

“Vertical” Standards Challenges ISO Technical Committee 204

“Transportation Information and control systems (TICS)

Coupled with CEN TC 278 Road, transport and Telematics systems (RTTS)

Conflicts have been mitigated by dialogue initiated in June 2001 see: www.iso.org/forums/its

Overlapping Jurisdictions TC8 Ships and Marine Technology TC22 Road Vehicles TC104 Freight Containers JTC1/SC 31 Auto ID and data

capture

“Horizontal” Standards Challenges International Telecommunications

Union Radiocommunications Services -- Working party for Land Mobile Communications

Also cuts across: Broadcasting Service, Satellite Service and Fixed Service

Difficult for ITS industry to provide and track status of recommendations

Regional Standards Activity Asia-Pacific Telecommunity (APT) –

Asia-Pacific Standardization Program (ASTAP)

CEN/ETSI CITEL – Inter-American

Telecommunications Commission

Regional standards organizations CEN/ETSI Asia-Pacific Telecommunity (APT) CITEL (Inter-American
