15. Mobility Integration
15.1 History of CEN TC278 Mobility Integration
In 2015 the European Commission launched Mandate M546:
​
Title
M/546 COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION C(2016)808 of 12.2.2016 on a standardisation request to the European standardisation organisations as regards Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) in urban areas in support of Directive 2010/40/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 July 2010 on the framework for the deployment of Intelligent Transport Systems in the field of road transport and for interfaces with other modes of transport
Object
European standardisation organisations are requested to draft new European standards and European standardisation deliverables in support of the implementation of Article 8 of Directive Directive 2010/40/EU for multimodal information, traffic management and urban logistics in the urban ITS domain.
To assist this work the Commission funded CEN PT1701 ” Project Report: Pre-study Urban ITS - Standards and actions necessary to enable urban infrastructure coordination to support Urban-ITS (May 2016) under contract reference. SA/CEN/ENTR/EFTA/000/2015-05 [which finally becomes CEN TR 17143 (2017).
​
This report in it’s Executive Summary stated that “The task of PT1701 was to identify gaps and overlaps in ITS standards that may be needed by Urban Administrations to assist them to implement Urban-ITS. The PT was further charged to outreach into the Urban Administration community and EC Urban-ITS related projects community to identify the scope and issues relating to its work, and subsequently, to validate its interim findings. The project team itself comprised 11 persons comprising: Urban Administrations; practitioners and advisers to Urban Administrations; professional standards developers; ITS industry; automotive industry.
​
Some 116 urban authority/related outreach direct contacts have been made, and more than 140 projects/reports studied for relevance and content. A list of outreach contacts can be found in Annex P.[of the report].
​
The interim findings were made available in January 2016. An open workshop was held on 11/12 February 2016, and as a result of discussion, based on early feedback from Urban administrations, the recommendations have been significantly consolidated, and the summary report and executive summary significantly (as expected) rewritten to focus on the issues as identified by the Urban Administrations, and to remove technical terms/jargon from the high level recommendations. In the INTERIM version, Use Cases were explored/examined and 103 interim recommendations made from these analyses. This revision retains those recommendations, and associates the recommendations to the priorities identified by Urban Administrations and other actors.”
…and made a detailed list of 103 recommendations: specific standards deliverables required and actions that are essential or desirable, and work required by other Committees and ESO’s."
​
The following 8 priority areas of its Executive Summary (Table 1) addressed the key priority issues. Table 1 summarises the areas for high level recommendations that PT1701 considers should be supported by the Commission Implementation Decision M/546 .
Section 2 of this report now aggregated the individual (and rather technical) recommendations (that evolved from Use Case evaluation) that aggregate into the project groupings shown in Table 1.
​
Table 2 identified priority areas that are already being prioritised under the EC ICT ‘Rolling Plan’ or should be for the attention of other Committees or ESOs.
​
Table 3 identified priority areas where action is required, to enable/support Urban-ITS but the action required does not result in a standards deliverable. In order to achieve its objectives for Urban-ITS, the European Commission is therefore challenged to find means to support these priority actions.
​
For detail of each of the aspects of this report and the process leading to, and logic behind, each of the recommendations, there is a detailed Annex, A. A high level compilation of the constituent recommendations behind these priority areas is also summarised in Section 2 of this report.
​
Table 1 — Summary areas for high level recommendations for Standardisation Projects under the CID.
​
​
PT1701, in addition to standards deliverables that it recommends to be supported under the CID, also identified several other areas where the area are already initiatives within CEN/TC 278, or other European or global standards organisations, is also required in order to support Urban administrations to implement/support Urban-ITS. Table 2 summarises these strategic subject areas.

Panoptic (Multi-category) standards and support issues
Although the pre-study was directed to consider three aspects of Urban-ITS, PT1701 has been careful to consider these in the context of the interoperable Urban-ITS paradigm and careful not to create three new ‘silos’ by dealing with these issues independently.
​
There are a number of policy and strategy issues that need consideration by the EU and CEN. PT1701 makes some recommendations to streamline the process in order to get deliverables to the marketplace earlier. Recommendations are also made to re-strategize standards development to fit the interoperable Urban-ITS paradigm, and propose measures (such as the use of C-ITS communication architecture procedures and protocols) in order to provide migration paths from the current legacy silo situation to the new interoperable Urban-ITS paradigm.
​
Urban-ITS application services or infrastructure provision is rarely a 1:1 relationship with its supporting standards. A number of standards are normally required to implement such application services or support infrastructure. Alone, Urban Administrations cannot be expected to have the expertise to know what is required, and they should not have to rely on external advisors. Therefore, a guide, “EUropean ITS Communications, Information and Protocols”, (EU_ICIP) will be necessary, and is required urgently. (Use Case ULG-0001).
​
The role envisaged for EU-ICIP would be to act as a focal point to guide, inform and advise about the existing large set of standards, and how and in which combinations to use them. Such a guide and support framework would assist the introduction and instantiation of Urban-ITS in a consistent manner across Europe, without binding the Nation States to implement a large raft of measures and standards, but by guidance as to the best options available, and would be beneficial in the wider context of the ISO community worldwide.
Many of the recommendations in this report are concerned with the development of standardised data models, data formats, and exchange of standardised data. However, the meta-data relating to this data, and indeed common definition of terms used, need to exist in a freely available central meta-data registry. Without such a meta-data registry, even if data formats are standardised, their presence will be largely unknown, and new projects will re-invent similar (but different) data definitions, thus creating silos and impeding interoperability. This is already a large, and growing problem, that does not have an easily soluble business case. If the European Commission wishes to enable Urban Administrations to implement Urban-ITS, it needs to establish and maintain such a central meta-data registry. (To be clear this is a registry of meta-data [restricted to data definitions] not a repository of live data).
​
Even with such a meta-data registry, data has been defined in ITS standards and common practices over a period of more than 25 years. The specifications for this data are in most cases inconsistent. Urban-ITS requires the exchange, sharing and re-use of data, which is of course required in standardised format. A harmonisation programme needs to be undertaken to identify these inconsistencies, bring the relevant parties together to find a common future standard data format, and to identify a translation/migration path for presently implemented solutions.
​
New standards are required in the area of security, especially for wireless transactions. A number of proposals are made to support trust between entities whilst protecting privacy.
​
A number of recommendations concern data and access to data. The pre-study makes recommendations for joint initiatives to provide new data concepts and transactions in the Urban-ITS paradigm.
​
‘Multimodal Information Services’
The base of current standards for many multimodal information services, come from the ‘Public Transport’ sector (called ‘transit’ in many countries), and one of the core standardisation initiatives relevant to Urban-ITS in this area are the “Transmodel/ IFOPT” series of Standards, including the associated NeTEx and SIRI Standards. This work is undertaken by CEN/TC 278/WG 3. This is already recognised in the European Commission “Rolling Plan for ICT Standardisation 2016” (DG GROW).
​
Initiatives to extend and improve Transmodel are already overdue, and the Transmodel standards may need revising to better fit into the new “Multimodal Information Services” paradigm, and this pre-study encourages CEN/TC 278/WG 3 to proceed with this work with as much urgency as possible, and recommends that EC funding is found to support project teams where this is deemed to be necessary. This work is considered essential by public transport experts to enable Urban-ITS to function efficiently,
​
Two calls are underway: one to extend Transmodel to support booking / payment / one for Opra (statistic and observed data). See also the Data4PT project also supporting further development and deployment of Transmodel.
​
A significant number of the other new MIS proposals in this area concern enabling “new modes” and “trip planning” service provision. Most are not provided for in Transmodel. Similarly, this pre-study encourages CEN/TC 278/WG 3 to proceed with this work with as much urgency as possible, and recommends that EC funding is found to support project teams where this is deemed to be necessary.
​
​
‘Traffic Management’
Traffic management is reasonably mature and locally well served with solutions for traffic management. Unfortunately, many of these lock Urban Administrations into particular vendors, and many of the proposals in this report face the issues of opening the ‘European Single Market’, removing vendor lock-in while at the same time enabling good relations to be maintained with system providers. Further work is required to enable the interoperable exchange of data. Two new data modelling standards, data standards, and interface standards, and a number of support measures, such as a ‘Concept of Operations’ (CONOPs) to assist Urban Administrations to move to the new multimodal business paradigm of Urban-ITS, and avoid vendor lock-in, are proposed.
​
A Project Team is proposed to develop standard(s) supporting multi-vendor integration interface providing vendor independent remote configuration of integrated and interconnected TM subsystems; linkage of roadside devices (such as signal controllers) to a central system; status and fault messaging for the monitoring of field-level sub-systems and their (semi-automated) fault clearance; and integration of widely used traffic adapted control and data processing methods in a traffic signal controller environment.
​
A Project Team is proposed to develop a domain overarching data exchange standard, supporting the exchange of traffic & network condition data (traffic volume, occupancy rates, average speed, travel times, traffic conditions (LoS) and planned and unplanned events/incidents (Roadworks, road/bridge/tunnel closures, bad weather and road surface conditions…) and traffic management data (circulation and traffic management plans), (subject areas which are currently not covered by DATEX II).
​
Along with other domains, a Project Team is proposed to harmonise location-referencing standards, (see above).
​
‘Urban Logistics’
Urban logistics is the least mature and least organised/more diverse of the three subject areas that form the core of this pre-study.
New measures proposed as priorities by Urban Administrations include standards for emissions monitoring, geofencing, low emission zones data and applications; standardised emissions data; Geofencing data and applications. A project team is required urgently to develop technical specifications to fulfil these requirements. (Three use cases are elaborated in the report: UL-0301;UL-0302; UL-0303).
Energy efficient intersections services, and delivery vehicle real-time mapping/route optimisation, are considered desirable and a project team will probably be required meet these needs. Adaptations of existing standards and new standards have to be engaged for future ‘Valet Parking’ applications. New Mode examples of priorities suggested by Urban Administrations are smart ‘Park & Ride’ bicycles services (detection, communications); parking, reservation of parking; green waves; etc.
​
Many other concepts for urban logistics use-cases have been proposed, but at this stage are not well enough developed to make firm proposals.
​
Communications and security
It turns out that the C-ITS architecture, security and protocols are not only essential in order for Urban-ITS to operate and co-exist in the upcoming world of Cooperative-ITS, but provide an efficient migration path from current silos to the interoperable Urban-ITS paradigm, and provide solutions to security issues that have largely yet to be addressed in the Urban-ITS paradigm. The existing SDO’s that are working on these issues are encouraged to complete their work on C-ITS security as a matter of urgency.
​
The reader is also directed to the work of the DG MOVE C-ITS Platform. WG5, Security.

​
​
​
Coherence with ‘FRAME’ ITS architecture
The remit to PT1701 requires the PT to consider coherence to the ‘FRAME’ ITS architecture. An analysis of the Use Cases developed by PT1701 shows a good degree of coherence the FRAME architecture. Where coherence is lacking it is usually because either what is identified in the particular Use Case is not explicit in the FRAME architecture, or the Use Case represents an evolution of ITS that has taken place since the architecture was last updated.
​
Two of the recommendations in Annex K of the report are for updates to be made to the FRAME Architecture. Implementation of these would enable the coherence issues to be resolved and would also provide the opportunity for further promotion of the benefits to European ITS stakeholders that arise from using the FRAME architecture. However, this work is not identified as a priority, and in many cases not seen even as relevant, by Urban Administrations responding giving outreach feedback to this project.
​
15.2 Creation of CEN TC278 WG17 as “Urban ITS”
CEN responded to the Commission’s initiative by creating a working group “Urban ITS” to handle this category of work, and applied for and were rewarded with project team funding in order to progress these Commission priorities, and these projects formed the backbone of WG17s work and deliverables in the period 2017 – 2019.
​
One relevant and frequent comment received when progressing most of this work was “we understand the relevance of this work to the urban situation, but why limit the standards to the urban situation when it is relevant in interurban and highway as well”. And of course the standards, (even the standard for UVAR [urban vehicle access restrictions]) can be used in any area-centric ‘vehicle restriction’ paradigm, not just towns and cities. And once the requirements of the M546 Mandate were fulfilled, WG17 started to search for a more appropriate name.
​
However, since its creation, CEN TC278 WG17 has had a remit different to other CEN TC278 working groups. Standards working groups and the consensus process are slow and often slow to react, and badly organised into historical ‘silo’s’ of expertise and specialisation, whereas the Commission had shown in M546 that it was problem-area problem-solving focussed in a way that crossed traditional and historic boundaries.
​
WG17 was created to respond appropriately to the need and to kick off initial work to meet the need, and search across the experience base from within and beyond the Technical Committee to address it. Having responded to the initial requirement with a broad base of expertise its draft deliverables are often handed at a draft stage to a different working group to finalise, maintain, and develop further.
​
So working group 17 has developed with the help of experts from other working groups as well as pulling in new blood. And, as the sector evolves to become more ‘connected’, and crossing traditional silo’s of expertise, the role of WG17 (now working jointly with its sister group ISO TC204 WG19) has evolved into integration and interoperability in a joined up borderless paradigm, providing a platform where experts from different experiences can work together, handing off it’s work to other WG’s where that becomes appropriate, and retaining work items that cross traditional boundaries to create interoperability and integration in the area of ITS.
​
One significant disruptive aspect that is changing, and may change more fundamentally the travellers approach to travel, and politically seen as of significant benefit to the long term livability and environment of cities, is the concept of ‘mobility as a service’.[more of which later].
​
CEN TC 278 WG17 is structured slightly differently to most TC278 WG’s that have a Convenor and, if they are lucky, a secretary. WG17 has an active secretariat and also has a Coordinator to share the project submission process and cross working with other WGs, and to make more resource available to liaise with the European Commission.
​
In 2019, WG17 changed its title to “Mobility Integration” to better reflect the nature of the work it was undertaking, and to consolidate with its new sister working group, ISO TC204 WG19.
​
15.3 Creation of ISO TC204 WG19 as “Mobility Integration”
ISO TC204, CEN TC278’s sister committee in the International Standards Organisation has worked closely with CEN TC278 since TC204’s inception in late 1993. Indeed, CEN TC278 member countries were founder members and influencers in TC204, preferring cooperative effort to competition. Many CEN and ISO ITS WGs work together on work items, in some cases acting as a joint WG.
​
ISO TC204 watched the evolution of CEN TC278 WG17 with interest. Although there was not the initiative of stimulus from the European Commission, as the concept of connectivity was evolving in ITS globally it had similar cross working group issues to solve. The ‘mobility as a service’ concept was a growing globally developing concept, and, particularly, the issues facing vulnerable road users were also not confined to specific silo’s of expertise. Parking involved road management, traffic management, off road parking facilities where there was no historic silo of expertise, and the sidewalks were about to become populated with robots and drones for delivery, services such as washing, cleaning, snow clearing, and these devices had to cross and sometimes use road space, deal with vulnerable road users, etc, etc.
​
And so, in 2019, ISO TC204 formed its WG19 “Mobility Integration” with a similar remit to CEN TC278 WG17, but in a global capacity. The two committees agreed to work together closely, sharing many work items. The Convenor, Coordinator and Secretary are also common.
WG19 Mobility Integration purpose and scope
​
TC204 has defined WG19’s role as:

Act as coordinator of external groups (e.g. Govt supported) to progress and integrate relevant work items quickly
-
Develop relevant Mobility documents that do not fall under other TC/WG scope and responsibilities
-
Joint work with CEN TC278 WG17 Mobility Integration
​
ISO Cross-cutting Work Items or Issues
-
The recognized ISO TC204 cross-cutting areas are
-
All TC204 WGs
-
-
There is no intention from WG19 to develop standards under other WGs areas of competence

15.4 Mobility as a Service
The publication “Automated vehicles and MaaS - Removing the Barriers” (Williams. Published by Wiley & Sons, 2021 ISBN 9781119765349), by kind permission of the Author, allow us to provide their quick initial summary of MaaS:
The MaaS Paradigm
We first have to be clear about what MaaS – ‘Mobility as a Service’ – actually means. If you lock four MaaS experts in a room together you are sure to get at least half a dozen different definitions. The difference is largely caused by difference in the objectives for MaaS as perceived by the different actors involved. And this means that the envisaged objectives, expectations and limits, are often quite different.
Purist Definition for MaaS
The best ‘purist’ definition that I can provide is that ‘MaaS is a mindset that changes the focus of attention of the travel journey experience away from the technical means of travel (car, bus, train, bicycle, etc.) to the travel requirement of the traveller using the optimal mix of travel modes, in order to provide a cohesive, safe, efficient, comfortable, cost-efficient journey, at a specific point in time. MaaS starts where the traveller is now, and ends when the traveller has arrived at his/her chosen destination’.
​
​
Vehicle Manufacturer Perspective for MaaS
To the manufacturer of automobiles, some may now see or be advised (McKinsey (2016)) that MaaS can redesign parts of his business model away from selling vehicles to drivers, to selling ‘ride-hailing’ services to provide links in a MaaS journey, or indeed the whole journey (and manufacturing/ providing and operating the vehicles to provide these services [but thereby obtaining its greatest revenue income from the service provision]).
​
This is of course a very narrow view of a market opportunity to be part of a new integrated paradigm, as a way of developing/ saving the manufacturer’s business model. In this paradigm it is seen that there will be many less vehicles on the road (raising hoorahs from city planners – but not necessarily their accountants), but those vehicles on the road will drive many more miles, so need to be replaced far more often (Ford has suggested maybe every four years).
​
​
Traditional Transport Service Provider Perspective for MaaS
From the perspective of the traditional transport service provider, public or private sector, MaaS is often viewed as using a refocus to the travellers’ objectives, to ease access to and transfer between, modes of transport, increasing the attractiveness of the service provider’s offering by providing a complete multimodal travel offer connecting from the first to the last mile, via a Maas ‘app’ that plots the routes and obtains the tickets. This paradigm envisages a MaaS service being provided usually by the local public transport provider, or by an independent MaaS ‘broker’ service.
​
​
MaaS from the Perspective of the MaaS Broker
Whereas the MaaS service provision is seen by public transport providers as part of the local public transport service offering, others see the MaaS service as a commercial brokerage service business opportunity, best provided by an independent organisation, because in this model, service providers do not have to share potentially confidential information with competitors.
​
However, in either the PT (public transport/transit) service provided model, or the independent ‘broker’ model, MaaS is the term used to describe digital platforms (often smartphone apps) through which people can access a range of public, shared and private transport, using a system that integrates the planning, booking and paying for travel, using a single app to acquire and pay for tickets, and is generally limited to these aspects.
From an architectural perspective, a typical MaaS paradigm from the perspective of the PT service provider model, or the independent ‘broker’ model, the system architectures are similar.”
​
​
​
The roles above are explained by ISO TC204 WG19 as:
​
15.4.1 Transport Service
The transport service is the core service in integrated mobility as it covers the transport of a person or goods from A to B. The transport mode could be road, rail, sea or air and the transport means could be any transport facility that is used to transport people or goods.
​
Typical examples are car, truck, bicycle, tram, train, metro, micromobility, passenger ferry and plane. Transport means also includes facilities that are not directly linked to any of the four transport modes, e.g. a gondola or a cable car in hill/mountain climbs/river crossings, etc. The transport means are usually driven by fossil or electric power, but they could also be powered by the transport user himself, e.g. bicycling or walking.
​
​
15.4.2 Planning and Booking Service
The planning and booking service is also a core service in integrated mobility. Based on the requirements and constraints of the user of the mobility service, a set of alternative integrated mobility services (often called ‘products’ in public transport) are presented to the user. Based on the user preferences, e.g. price, travel time and route, comfort, sustainability, transport mode and means, the user chooses his preferred alternative, books the integrated mobility service and receives the access rights to the integrated mobility service.
​
The set of alternative integrated mobility services are bundles of transport services linked together providing a seamless and effective travel for the user of the integrated mobility service.
​
​
15.4.3 Payment Service
The payment service enables the user of the integrated mobility service to pay for the service when the service is booked, at the moment the service is used, or after the service has been used. Hence, the service is either pre, or post,-paid. The payment could be stored in a central account or it could be stored on the payment media – which could be the same media as carrying the access rights, e.g. a smartphone or a wireless smartcard.
​
​
15.4.4 Transport Infrastructure Service
The transport means move around in a transport infrastructure built and operated for the transport means, e.g. a road network, a rail network and a traffic corridor along a coast. The transport means are depending on a safe, secure, available and effective transport infrastructure to provide the integrated mobility service with the requested and necessary quality. Hence, the building, maintenance and operation of a transport infrastructure is also a core service. Traffic management in a city is a part of this service.
15.4.5 Information Service
The information service is another core service supporting the integrated mobility service. The service includes both collection of information, information management and information distribution to other core services that are depending on information for their own service processes. Typical examples are transport service information (specification of the travel product) provided by the transport service operators and dynamic transport infrastructure information used for planning of the integrated mobility service.
​
The information service covers the information models and messages between the objects in the integrated mobility service domain, i.e. the ‘soft’ part of the information infrastructure.
​
​
15.4.6 Information and Communication (ICT) Service
The information and communication (ICT) service covers the ‘hard’ part of the ICT infrastructure. That means the provision and operation of the equipment required for the secure storage and transfer of information between the different services described above enabling the provision of the integrated mobility service.
​
​
15.4.7 Authority Regulations
The last domain supporting the integrated mobility is not a service, but (access to) the authority regulations defining the regulatory framework for the integrated mobility service. These could be national regulations, e.g. laws and regulations issued by the Ministry for Transport, or it could be city regulations that, e.g. define the operational prerequisites and conditions for the implementation of integrated mobility services in the city, or access control limits for various vehicle types at various times, parking restrictions, one-way traffic. etc
.
15.4.8 High-level Value Network
MaaS can therefore be described as a high-level value network for integrated mobility systems where the value network can be defined as a web of relationships that generate economic value and other benefits through complex dynamic exchanges between two or more individuals, groups or organisations. The figure below shows an example on a value network for the ITS service real-time road and traffic information.
​
​
​
​
15.5 MaaS as a Tool for Social Engineering
​
Move now to the perspective of City Authorities and Planners, Governments, and The European Commission, even the United Nations. (UN ECE Workshop on MaaS: ‘As more of the world’s cities become congested and polluted, new business models and technologies are emerging to solve the mobility challenge. In 2014, global venture-capital investments into mobility services amounted to more than $5 billion, up from less than $10 million in 2009.’).
​
From this viewpoint MaaS is potentially a way to remove traffic from city centres, reduce traffic congestion, reduce pollution, achieve CO2 reduction targets, encourage healthier lifestyles, and improve quality of life for citizens, and even countering global warming. This is a heavy social engineering paradigm, whose objectives are much more radical than simply improving the travel experience of travellers.
​
​
In the European Commission (2019) the EC opines:
Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) will increasingly catalyse the public-private co-development and co-delivery of mobility and transport systems and services, as well as shared and open use of public space, data and infrastructure. The principal prospects for decarbonisation are strong better utilisation of underused assets in transport fleets and infrastructures can accommodate increasing demand and reduce the share of unsustainable travel modes. Smart mobility systems and services have the promise to contribute to the needed decarbonisation of the transport sector and might also help address persistent problems of congestion and accessibility. However, new innovations in technologies and use need to optimise the whole transport system not road-based car travel only to make a long-term contribution to decarbonisation.
………
Technological, socio-demographic and behavioural change are facilitating a move towards multimodal transport – combining walking, cars, buses, bikes, trains and other forms of shared transportation. Driven by the transition from ‘owning’ to ‘using’, MaaS enables multimodal mobility by providing user-centric information and travel services such as navigation, location,
Public and private business models, payment methods, technologies, and user choices will continue to coevolve alongside data sharing by users and public infrastructures, and increasing cooperation between the public and private sectors. MaaS should also provide more cost-efficient mobility options to consumers and households by reducing vehicle acquisition and maintenance expenditures.
​
………… The transformation and convergence of transport and mobility systems and services presents a unique opportunity to develop post-fossil, user-centric, smart mobility systems based on access to individual, public, shared and active mobility, rather than ownership of private automobiles.
​
…………Integrated Mobility-on-Demand services can contribute to modal shift to public transport and also address the spatial inefficiencies of private individual motorised transport. User-centric urban mobility systems will provide ubiquitous check-in/check-out user access to enable both inter- and multi-modal mobility on demand and enhance overall transport efficiency. In future integrated and sustainable mobility-on-demand systems, electric mobility will become a component of both power and public transport infrastructure and systems. The smart integration of tariff structures, data and user interfaces as well as the disposition of rolling stock across these sectors is a central challenge, which requires new business models and scheduling, booking, navigating, ticketing and charging solutions.
​
…… . . . .Autonomous electric vehicles are expected to form a significant component of ‘MaaS’ for urban transport. As with sharing models, autonomous vehicle (in public or private service) technology will blend with MaaS models and can potentially also enable ubiquitous smart traffic management. In deploying electric and shared autonomous vehicles (SAEVs) the benefits of these mobility strategies can be combined to greater effect.
This is heavy social engineering and a world away from the more modest ambition of most MaaS service brokers. But pressures to reduce CO2 emissions and reduce pollution will mean that there is continual and growing pressure to achieve these social ambitions. But whether or not that is in line with the purists’ objective to ‘improve the travellers journey experience’ is another matter.
​
Further, the provision of even very competent MaaS ‘apps’ and single payment journey planning/management, by itself, does little to prize drivers out of their vehicles. But too many planners/social engineers are relying on these MaaS Apps to change behaviour, just because the MaaS apps are created.

It is the intention that, while the formal deliverable of this pre-study will be a technical report, that the project team will also identify areas for draft ‘New Work Item Proposals’ (and justifications) for work items to fill the identified gaps, where those gaps can be filled by Standards deliverables, and that the pre-study will also consider and make recommendations for any other support measures that are considered important or essential in order for the successful implementation, management and support of Urban-ITS in an environment where this is an administration controlled and led activity and not a community-wide managed or controlled activity. The pre-study report, in addition to its submission to the European Commission, shall be in a format suitable for adaptation to a European standardisation deliverable on Use Cases addressing the three areas of this request and highlighting their possible interdependencies. Specifically, a gap analysis identifying additional requirements and priorities for:
d) Architecture: high level proposals outlining the parameters for a European standardisation deliverable for Urban-ITS architecture integrating the three areas of this request and highlighting connexions or interfaces with surrounding ITS applications as well as compatibility or coherence with existing standards, technical specifications, data models.
e) Multimodal Information Services: Standardisation deliverables in support of new mobility services, such as car sharing, car-pooling, public bike sharing services, park & ride, bike & ride, etc. Alternative fuel infrastructure, including information on location and availability of stations, charging models and capacity at stations, (integrated) payment schemes, etc. A European standardisation deliverable on reference data model, common data dictionary and metadata structure for multimodal information services.

​
Being renamed to “Intelligent Transportation Systems— Mobility Integration – C-ITS for light mode conveyances and accessibility travel standards gap assessment” this work item is in process.
The scope of this white paper is to assess Mobility Integration standardization efforts supporting all travellers using active and light transport modes and identify gaps where additional Standards deliverables are required. The gap assessment will focus on Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITS) for all users, including people with disabilities, as they plan, manage and journey their “complete trip” - including all connections and transfers, from end-to-end.
Conveyances will address C-ITS for light power and active modes such as micromobililty vehicles (e.g., e-scooters), power or power-assisted vehicles (e-bikes, power wheelchairs), and full powered vehicles (e.g., motorcycles, mopeds).
​
This investigation identifies areas and scopes where standards deliverables are required to solve problems/opportunities/ challenges, particularly with respect to enhanced safety, and the provision of end-to-end multimodal journey provision and support.
​
This investigation, by itself, will not solve the problems identified but will provide the scope sections for future standards deliverables that will address these issues.

15.7.3 ISO TR 4447 Comparison of two mainstream Integrated mobility concepts
Transport systems and services have remained unchanged for long periods of time and are characterized by slow incremental innovations. However, urbanization, changes in climate and demographic and societal changes are some of the major trends that have had an impact on transport systems and services over the last decades. Combined with the implementation of intelligent transport system (ITS) services and Internet of Things (IoT), new transport concepts have been developed. User requirements on efficiency, availability and interoperability have also been driving forces for new transport concepts for integration of multimodal, existing and new transport services as described and implemented in mobility concepts like "mobility as a service" (MaaS) and "mobility on demand" (MOD). Connected and autonomous vehicles will also have a significant effect on how travellers plan and implement their journeys between multiple modes of transportation in the integrated mobility environment.
​
Integrated mobility concepts are evolving around the world, mostly based on the MaaS and MOD concepts. Hence, there is a need for a generic, common and world-wide concept description mapping all existing and foreseen concepts for interoperable, integrated and seamless multimodal transport services.
​
The objective of this document is to describe the MaaS and MOD concepts focussing on the relevant services and role models. Further, the objective is to compare the two concepts searching for commonalities that can build a bridge between the MaaS and MOD concepts and form a basis for a common understanding. This could further be used for a convergence towards one world-wide integrated mobility concept description. Establishing a common understanding and terminology will enable greater world-wide collaboration on integrated mobility implementations.
This document is based on a literature review of the references listed in the Bibliography and describes the state-of-the-art for the two mainstreams in integrated mobility, i.e. the MaaS and MOD concepts.
This document includes a proposal for issues for further elaboration and possibly standardization, including:
-
— an enterprise view on the integrated mobility service;
-
— a functional view on the integrated mobility service;
-
— a physical view on the integrated mobility service.
Scope
This document describes the core services and roles and responsibilities models in the "mobility as a service" (MaaS) and "mobility on demand" (MOD) ecosystems. The description is based on a literature review of the references listed in the Bibliography.
​
This document also includes a comparison of the basic services and roles and responsibilities in order to map any similarities that can potentially be used for bridging and merging the two mainstream concepts in integrated mobility, i.e. MaaS and MOD.

15.7.4 ISO TR 4445 Role model of ITS service application
Currently, more than 70 % of the world’s people live in cities. The proportion of people living in cities is rising around the world as civilisations develop and congregate around cities where there are more employment opportunities. Societies develop more innovatively and rapidly in cities, and they present better entertainment opportunities, adding to their attraction. The Economist magazine recently forecast that by 2045, an extra 2 billion people will live in urban areas[16]. The resulting concentration of population creates various issues such as road congestion due to an increase in vehicle population and environmental pollution due to exhaust gas and tyre erosion. These issues have been attributed to increases in the number of delivery trucks, taxis and town centre traffic and are further exacerbated by obstacles to the effective use of urban space due to the private ownership of cars (parking lots, street parking).
​
The pressures caused by scientific advice that significant action and change of behaviour is needed to ameliorate the adverse effects of climate change require a more environmentally friendly use of the transport system.
​
It is recognized that there is also road infrastructure deterioration, a lack of provision of information on the use of public transportation, driver shortages due to the increase in the number of elderly people and the inconvenience of multimodal fare payments, and action to improve the situation is urgently needed.
The International Data Corporation forecasts that of the USD 81 billion that will be spent on smart city technology in 2020, nearly a quarter will go into fixed visual surveillance, smart outdoor lighting and advanced public transit.
​
Eventually, this is likely to mean high speed trains and driverless cars. Consultancy McKinsey forecasts that up to 15 % of passenger vehicles sold globally in 2030 will be fully automated, while revenues in the automotive sector could nearly double to USD 6.7 trillion thanks to shared mobility (car-sharing, e-hailing) and data connectivity services (including apps and car software upgrades)[18].
​
Changing consumer tastes are also calling for new types of infrastructure. Today’s city dwellers, for example, increasingly shop online and expect ever faster delivery times. To meet their needs, modern urban areas need the support of last-minute distribution centres, backed by out-of-town warehouses.
​
Therefore, in recent years, in Europe, studies on the development of mobility integration standards have been active to solve urban problems. There are various movements around the world making efforts to address these issues. In the United States, ITS technology is used to try to solve these urban problems, as in the Smart City Pilot Project. Columbus, Ohio has been selected as a smart city pilot project which is currently being designed in detail. Important key factors here are the core architectural elements of smart cities, and urban ITS sharing of probe data (also called sensor data), connected cars and automated driving. In addition, new issues have been recognized with the introduction of the connected car to the real world in respect of privacy protection, the need to strengthen security measures, big data collection and processing measures, which are becoming important considerations.
​
In terms of the effective use of urban space, it is hoped that the introduction of connected cars and automated driving can significantly reduce the requirements for urban parking lots (redistribution of road space). If technology can eliminate congestion, the city road area usage can also be minimized and reallocated (space utilization improvement) to improve the living environment of, and quality of life in, the city. In addition, the environment around the road will be improved by improving enforcement (e.g. overloaded vehicles). On the other hand, even in rural areas, it is possible to introduce automated driving robot taxis and other shared mobility that saves labour (and is therefore more affordable) and improves the mobility of elderly people.
​
To achieve this requires the realization of various issues, for example:
-
— cooperation with harmonization of de-jure standards such as ISO and industry de facto standards;
-
— recognition of the significance of international standardization (e.g. to reduce implementation costs);
-
— recognition of the significance of harmonization activities by countries around the world;
-
— cooperation and contribution between ISO/TC 22 for in-vehicle systems and ISO/TC 204 for ITS technology.
As mentioned above, automated driving mobility is expected to play an important role both in cities and in rural areas. The main effects are, as described above, the reduction of traffic accidents, reduction of environmental burden, elimination of traffic congestion, realization of effective use of urban space, etc.
​
ITS technology is an important element for realizing smart cities, and it is important to clearly understand the role model of ITS service applications when developing standards to achieve these objectives.
​
This document gives an important overview of the options for this objective. Considering the emerging direction of mobility electrification, automated driving and the direction of an environmentally friendly society, incorporating other urban data such as traffic management into the city management will improve the mobility of urban society. It is important to consider the creation of a common open role model for smart city data platforms (such as the ISO 15638 series service framework). Similar platforms will be necessary for the realization of the future mobility such as automated driving and electrification of vehicles. A common role model will be developed for all modes of vehicle, including public transport, general passenger vehicles and heavy vehicles. The incorporation of electronic regulation is especially important for automated vehicles and it is essential to incorporate it as a core element of urban ITS.
​
This document describes how ITS data can be presented, interchanged and used by smart cities. This document does not describe smart city use cases for ITS data in any detail nor does it describe in detail any specific ITS use cases. It is focused on the generic role model for data exchange between ITS and smart cities.
​
The necessary security and data exchange protocols have now been finalized to provide a secure ITS interface, with the approval of ISO/TS 21177, i.e. exchange information with bi-directional protection.
.
The relation enables two devices to cooperate in a trusted way, i.e. to exchange information in secure application sessions, and thus only access data or request data that they have the appropriate credentials to access.
​
This document provides the framework within which these transactions can be undertaken.
Scope

-
c) a conceptual architecture between actors involved in the provision/receipt of ITS service applications;
-
d) references for the key documents on which the architecture is based;
-
e) a taxonomy of the organization of generic procedures

15.7.33 ISO DTS 5616 ITS data management, access and mobility issues — Governance using secure interfaces : High level specifications & information resource
​
15.7.33.1 ISO DTS 5616-1 Intelligent transport systems — Secure interfaces Governance — Part 1 context and overview
​
The ISO 5616 suite of deliverables provides specifications for a Governance process for using ITS Trusted Devices for ITS Data Management and Access using secure interfaces.
​
ISO 5616 comprises multiple Parts, most parts specifying a different aspect of governance, some Parts are however simply Technical Reports designed as information resources for users, and/or to explain recommended practices and the rationale behind them.
​
This paradigm can be used for any ITS interface, but is focussed especially to meet some of the unique characteristics of the interface between a vehicle and external entities such as roadside units and other vehicles.
​
While there are many standards already developed to use ITS devices for ITS Data Management and Access (and on which these specifications rely), the combinations of standards need to be used consistently and the whole system consistently governed.
​
Governance “The system by which entities are directed and controlled. It is concerned with structure and processes for decision making, accountability, control and behaviour at the top of an entity. Governance influences how an organisation’s objectives are set and achieved, how risk is monitored and addressed and how performance is optimised”…. “ Governance is a system and process, not a single activity and therefore successful implementation of a good governance strategy requires a systematic approach that incorporates strategic planning, risk management and performance management.”
​

The purpose of the ISO 5616 specifications are to describe the overall governance of the ITS Data Management and Access system using Secure Interfaces, and particularly, ‘Secure Vehicle Interfaces’, including a system as a whole and its governance and management structure. This involves the components of a so called ‘Trust Model’ (e.g. PKI services) as well as the entities running them, the trusted third parties for the trust and privacy management on which operational entities rely, and which allow running them in a secure and reliable way.
​
Governance in an international context and covering a wide range of use-case paradigms with different needs, is by necessity a multi-layer Governance model, with general Governance and specification of high-level options that are useable by all and maintain consistency. To this level may be introduced regional requirements to meet the needs of regional government. These specifications must be overt and clear to all and provide the principal requirements and options to maintain cybersecure interoperability, and are to be found in Parts 5,6,7 and 8 and form the principle recommendations and proposals for Governance for ITS Data Management and Access
​
A second regional level of Governance determines the options allowed within a region for each defined application domain (e.g.: service group). This paradigm is covered in Part 5.
​
The lower level of Governance is the operational level, determining the choice of the options allowed in order to meet the application needs. This document specifies the aspects to be considered, but those choices must be made by the application community within the options allowed by regional Governance. This paradigm is also covered in Part 8.
​
To complicate issues, application domains / : service groups may operate solely within one region, or may operate in multiple regions or globally, in which case they may have to specify different and multiple operational specifications to abide within different regional requirements. Part 3 Annex A details general principle of Governance, and the aspects that have been considered in such policymaking, but of course the options specified are taken at this operational level, ratified by the Regional Governance Management Committee.
​
