Motivation

The long-awaited deployment has become reality. Infrastructure devices like road works warning

trailers or mass marked vehicles are in the field.

Now, all eyes are on these first deployments and a positive user experience is crucial to pave the

way for the success of this technology and the fast follow-up by further infrastructure providers

and OEMs.

To ensure, the important positive user experience, structures and responsibilities need to be

prepared to:

handle any cyber security or interoperability issues showing up between different C-ITS

stations during operation, that cannot be handled by a single stakeholder.

Be able to quickly react to upcoming obstacles, in preparation of the operations phase,

eg. Problem management processes

Vision

TF-Operations will handle and facilitate resolutions for common operational issues for cooperative services in a cooperative manner:

Relay issues to existing standardizing / mandating organizations (EC, C-Roads, C2C, ETSI etc.)

For cooperative systems in the field (priority services)

TF-Operations is also supporting the deployment and implementation of cooperative services in a cooperative manner to ensure interoperability, on topics that are not covered by the standardizing / mandating organizations. This is an ongoing process with topics added as they occur.

11/13/2019 4C-ITS operational aspects

• In communication networks an important role is operations

and maintenance. This is normally the role of the network

operator.

• But in an vehicular ad-hoc network there is no single

operator – everyone are responsible for their own

equipment.

• But If problems ?

• Where to report them ?

• Who will follow-up to identify the problem ?

• Who will ensure actions are taking to resolve it ?

• To resolve this question there is the need to create a

process that will function as a virtual operator.

• TF Operations is preparing such a process
