What is PD CEN/TS 17402 about?
PD CEN/TS 17402 provides a suite of standards designed to achieve successful implementation of Urban-Intelligent Transport Systems (UITS) in a mixed vendor environment.
PD CEN/TS 17402 provides a background to the relevance of standards concerning mixed vendor environments in the context of urban-ITS. It describes key mixed vendor environments interfaces.
PD CEN/TS 17402 identifies existing open specifications for sensor systems, traffic control, traffic information, public transport information distributed C-ITS, and central systems.
PD CEN/TS 17402 provides common specifications of sensor systems, traffic control, traffic information, public transport information, distributed C-ITS, central systems.
PD CEN/TS 17402 describes openly plied proprietary standards and extant communications protocols that can be used in mixed vendor environments in the context of U-ITS.
Who is PD CEN/TS 17402 for?
PD CEN/TS 17402 on the use of regional traffic standards in a mixed vendor environment is useful for:
- Urban authorities
- Implementers of intelligent transport systems
- Transport authorities
- Infrastructure managers
- Transport on demand service providers
- Managers involved with the structure of MVE
- Automotive industries
Why should you use PD CEN/TS 17402?
Urban authorities extensively use the intelligent transport systems. Over many decades, regional traffic interface standards have evolved and been implemented. PD CEN/TS 17402 is designed to show how they can operate, co-exist and evolve in mixed vendor environments (MVE) over time.
PD CEN/TS 17402 focuses on the area of traffic management systems in an MVE, identifies appropriate standards to use to enable an MVE, and addresses aspects associated with the accommodation of regional traffic standards in such mixed vendor environments, with particular emphasis on the centre/field systems context. This document also provides information regarding MVE provisions in the public transport domain.
PD CEN/TS 17402 also describes the major existing regional traffic standards established in Europe, such as OCIT, UTMC, DVM/IVERA, and the data exchange provisions provided in the DATEX II series of standards, and how these regional traffic standards and DATEX II are used in MVE or to avoid vendor lock-in. This document recognizes that there are other implemented local traffic management standards and is designed to enable them to achieve an MVE accommodation path.
