Communication requirements of generic services for Intelligent Transport Systems

• In order to meet their users’ expectations and to be of efficient help for people using or maintaining Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), related services need efficient support from the underlying communication systems, which in turn requires profound knowledge of those needs. This paper presents an approach to gather services into generic groups and a framework to classify their needs in terms of availability, performance, security and cost in a generic manner. These needs are consequently seen from the user’s perspective, but formulated in a way such that the matching towards technical parameters as e.g. throughput offered by a communication network can be performed. Upon comparing needs with offers, the feasibility of a certain communication technology for a certain type of service can be determined, which in turn helps to choose the right kind of connectivity in order to yield the desired degree of availability, performance, security and cost. This work is carried out within the VINNOVA-sponsored project PIITSA (Personal Information for Intelligent Transport Systems through Seamless communications and Autonomous decisions) conducted by Aerotech Telub, Blekinge Tekniska Högskola, Statens Provningsanstalt Borås and Vägverket, respectively.
