National RaD projects

n The connection between OBU and in-vehicle data (CAN) can yield to providing the new telematicsservices:n In-vehicle weight in motionn on-line assessment of vehicle emissionn on-line measurement of externalitiesn safety assessment of vehicle drivingn ecological assessment of vehicle driving,n etc.

n In-vehicle weight in motion system n example of presented principlen The basic principle comes from Newton’s Law of Inertia

F = m . a :F – vector of vehicle force, m – vehicle weight, a – vector of vehicle acceleration

National RaD projects

n Hybrid solution of tolling system n project supported by Ministry of Transportn the project consortium is:

Czech EFC implementation phasesn First phase: DSRC system on highways

n 980 km, 12 tn system in operation from 1st January 2007n revenue higher than expectedn no influence of traffic volumes of trucks

n Second phase: n next 249 km were built in 2007 (connection to the

boundaries) n DSRC system on highways built till 2017 (for about 1218

km)

n Third phase: satellite solution for secondary roadsn 6000 km of 1st class roadsn 2000 km of 2nd class roads (mainly alternative roads)

n next considerationn EFC for cars above 3,5 tn congestion charging for cities (Prague)

EFC "hybrid" solution

n EFC "hybrid" solution: n combination GNSS/CN/DSRCn combination of fixed (DSRC) and virtual gantries

(GNSS/CN)n using existing mobile and fixed enforcement system

(DSRC, video-detection)n opening and definition of all interfaces - through

certification laboratory: Faculty of Transportation Sciences, CTU Prague

n opening interfaces for future EFC satellite supplier and for future telematics services providers

Architecture of EFC "hybrid" solution

Prepared “de facto” standard

n Standard will describe data exchangen only in one cross-section of the complex information

chain between OBU and central systemn Information chain is interrupted near to the central

systemn necessary plug context servers into information chain which

transform encrypted data flow to open semantic formn arbitration level which control data flows between different

channels

Future of EFC GNSS in Europe

n The worst scenario for the future GNSS/CN systemn the Czech Republic set up own satellite system, n the same it will be in the Slovak Republic (tender for

2000 km 2008)n and Hungary (tender 2008). n The quality and openness of interface will be only in

the hands of suppliers and if there will be different suppliers we will have three incompatible EFC systems in this region in 2009

n Together with Germany and Swiss it could be in the worst scenario five incompatible systems.

n To harmonize these systems will cost great amount of many if it will be even possible

Presentation of "hybrid" solution

n Meeting CEN278/TC/WG1 in Prague - January 25, 2008n EFC workshop for CEEC countries is planned on May,

2008n New work CEN278/WG1 items:

n Interoperable Application Profile (IAP) supporting GNSS/CN OBE-localisation augmentation using DSRC

n Conformity evaluation of Interoperable Monitoring Application Profile for Enforcement using DSRC at 5,8 GHz

n Interoperable Application Profile (IAP) for GNSS/CN based EFC systems

n Requirements for personalisation of first mount OBUn Value Added Services based on GNSS/CN compatible EFC

OBE

Presentation of "hybrid" solutionn Expert group working for Ministry of transport Czech

republic elaborated solution how to limit losses given by incompability by using “de facto” standard

n It means that encrypted protocols of different suppliers will be interrupted at the central system level by context servers and managed by arbitration layer.

n These components will work as a semantic interpreter whereby different OBU´s of different suppliers could be used

n This concept creates technical standard which will be a part of tender.
