The demand for mobility is growing faster than the available roadway infrastructure. Intelligent transport systems (ITS) have been deployed extensively over the last decades to solve or reduce issues like delays due to traffic jams, unreliable and unpredictable travel times, a lack of safety and air pollution, or at least to reduce the effects. A specific type of ITS systems is connected and cooperative ITS (C-ITS), where intelligent vehicles and intelligent roadside/back-office infrastructure communicate with each other to be able to implement even smarter and more effective applications to tackle these issues. For communication with vehicles, both short-range networks based on ITS-G5 and cellular networks are in scope.
This document describes a reference architecture for C-ITS applications that is based on an eco-system with business roles for both public and private stakeholders - in a Dutch context. The architecture should be considered as descriptive and is intended to be used as a basis for future ITS deployment projects in the Netherlands. This document is the 2015 update of the architecture for Cooperative - Intelligent Transport System (C-ITS) applications in the Netherlands [1]. The update is based on deliverables published in 2015 from selected projects and expert group meetings on specific subjects for the “ITS round table” meetings on Architecture and on Standardization / Dutch Profile, held between June 2015 and December 2015.
