Standards Development

Scope

Reference the set of standards that are relevant to the assessment of Operational Design Domains (ODD) in the scope of partly and fully connected cooperative automated vehicles (CCAM).

Ensure that the identified set of standards retained by the road infrastructure industry is consistent with selected ones from other main stakeholders involved in the deployment of partly and fully automated mobility.

Guide the road managers / operators / road equipment suppliers to assess and implement the identified set of standards to provide infrastructure support to cooperative automated driving systems (C-ADS, see SAE 13216). The CDA (Cooperative Driving Automation) support from infrastructure is intended to enhance the performance of the Dynamic Driving Task (DDT) and /or to avoid a DDT fallback in case of an ODD (Operational Design Domain) exit. Take into accountf ISAD services and applicable legal framework in this guide. 

Assess the completness and quality of the identified set of standards and propose evolution measures to resolve discovered issues. 

Identify new standard developments for further automated vehicles deployment phases (phase 3 and beyond) such as foreseen by the C2C-CC and other main stakeholders’ representative organizations.

Purpose

The CEN TR 17828 proposes a reference framework for the CEN TC 226 WG12 work program. Three categories of road infrastructure – vehicles interactions are identified:

▪ Road infrastructure – automated vehicles autonomous interactions based on vehicles sensors and ADAS using road horizontal marking and vertical signalling.

▪ Road infrastructure – automated vehicles cooperative interactions based on short-range and long-range connectivity.

▪ Road infrastructure – automated vehicles model-based interactions based on road infrastructure digital twin.

These interactions require the support of European standards ensuring the interoperability and minimum performance requirements between road infrastructure equipment and automated vehicles. These interactions also require a convergence in the selection of relevant standards between the main stakeholders involved in the deployment of the automated mobility.

Standardised interactions are part of the road infrastructure and vehicles capabilities which are required for the mobility of partly and fully automated vehicles. A lost of road infrastructure or vehicle capability may lead to a transition of the vehicle driving mode (e.g., from automated to human driven).

The addressed technologies are plural and should respond to identified functional and operational requirements (minimum performances, scalability…etc) which are identified in CEN TC 226 and WG12. 

Consider the non-technical impacts (societal, economical, legal…etc.) of this standardisation approach.

Several releases of this TR can be foreseen to take into account the dynamic evolution of this domain.
