158 PART | IV ITS regulations, policies and standards
Geographic Information, ISO standards on message transmission and data com-
munication, Identification Technology Standards (e.g., ISO 7812, ISO 18013
for individuals, ISO 3779, ISO 4100, ISO 14815 for vehicles, ISO 24533, and
ISO 17358 for cargo items, etc.) and ISO 8072 Open Systems Interconnection
(OSI) standard can be considered the basis for the development of more ITS and
transport information services.
The mission of the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) is to develop and
promote standards for many industries, including mobile communication which
is essential for ITS. The IEEE SA’s work on ITS focuses on the specification and
standardization of ITS services functionalities and capabilities, and on the defi-
nition of interoperability frameworks that can be used for the successful devel-
opment of ITS solutions. The IEEE Standards for Wireless Access in Vehicular
Environments (WAVE) (IEEE 1609 series) define the communication frame-
work for ITS and applications. For example, the IEEE 1609:11-2010 that defines
a wireless protocol for exchange of electronic payment data that can be used in
ITS, or the IEEE Standard for Security Services for Applications and Manage-
ment Messages (IEEE 1609.2-2013) and its amendments in 2016 and 2017 that
define the secure message formats and their processing in WAVE devices. Simi-
larly, the IEEE 1512 series defines the standards for Common (Traffic) Incident
Management Messages for use by centers that handle emergencies. IEEE also
defines standards for other means of transport, such as the IEEE Standard for
Rail Transit Vehicle Event Recorders (IEEE 1482.1-2013), or the IEEE Standard
for Communications Protocol Aboard Passenger Trains (IEEE 1473-2010).
The IEEE ITS (https://www.ieee-itss.org/) society is the driving force
behind IEEE attempts in the ITS domain. Its aim is to advance all IT and Elec-
trical Engineering technology aspects in their application to transportation. It
comprises several Technical Committees on topics such as:
• Artificial transportation systems and simulation
• Cooperative and connected vehicles
• Human factors in ITS
• Planning and control of transportation and logistic networks
• Naturalistic driving data analytics
• Railroad systems and applications
• Self-driving automobiles
• Smart mobility and transportation 5.0
• Traffic and travel management
and a special Interest Group on Intelligence and Security Information for Trans-
portation Systems.
14.2 Continental or national standardization bodies
The CEN is one of the major standardization bodies that issue standards for
the European countries. In cooperation with other European organizations for
standardization, such as the ETSI for the telecom industry and international
