DSRC ELectronics implementation for Transportation and Automotive applications

Cel

The project will establish a common interface between CEN compliant DSRC units and the in-vehicle electronics, allowing integrating the DSRC communication link as standard equipment in the vehicle.
This interface will be based on the needs of the 4 concerned industries that are represented by 10 companies in the project whilst other interested actors will be invited to participate through regular workshops of the project forum.

These industries and companies are:
- car manufacturers (Fiat, Opel and Renault);
- DSRC equipment manufacturers (Alcatel and Q-Free);
- in-car electronics suppliers (Bosch and Mannesmann) and road operators (ASFA, Autostrade and Cofiroute).

The project will develop 2 prototypes of the DSRC communication link (Alcatel and Q-Free) and 2 prototypes of the in-car electronics (Bosch and Renault) and implement them in test cars (Opel and Renault) to validate the prototypes in connection with EFC services and TTI services in operational conditions on the Cofiroute network.

Objectives:
The objective of the project is to integrate the DSRC communication link as a basic equipment in any vehicle.
This will be done by establishing a standardised interface between CEN compliant DSRC units and the in-vehicle electronics (DELTA will fully comply with the current DSRC ENVs as well as with future ENs).
Apart from standardisation proposals on the overall architecture and common interface specifications, the project will also produce recommendations on related issues such as antenna position and design.
This will allow a range of DSRC applications such as EFC and TTI to be combined with a view to be offered on the mass market whilst ensuring the correct functioning of transponders operating behind metallic or heated windscreens.

Work description:
The project will start by compiling an overview of user needs and high-level system requirements. In doing so, it will take advantage of the user needs material already collected by on-going and past initiatives.
A first list of user needs will be established amongst the project partners and this list will be fine-tuned through the 1st workshop of the DELTA Forum.
In a second phase, the project will then develop the on-board system architecture including the common specifications for the interface between the DSRC communication link and the in-car electronics. In connection with this, DELTA will produce recommendations on related issues such as on antenna design and location (also ensuring the correct functioning of transponders with new generations of windscreens) and on type approval for integrated DSRC equipment.
The proposed mechanisms will be the subject of the 2nd workshop of the DELTA Forum and will be submitted to the relevant standardisation bodies with a view to generate early feedback.
Subsequently, the project will start its technical development phase with the production of the detailed technical specifications that are the basis for the development of the different prototypes. Bosch and Renault will then develop working prototypes of the in-car electronics whilst Alcatel and Q-Free will develop working prototypes of the DSRC communication link based on the common specifications.

It will also be investigated what modifications to the roadside infrastructure provided by Cofiroute are necessary for testing purposes. The fourth and final phase of the project consists of field trials that will be conducted testing all relevant combinations of prototypes in Opel and Renault test cars.
The tests will cover different applications (EFC and TTI) and will be conducted in normal operating conditions on the Cofiroute network.
Three important activities are foreseen in support of the four development and test phases in the project.
First, there is the assessment and evaluation activity that covers the technical assessment of the deployed common specifications and recommendations at the test site as well as the evaluation of their impact on ITS services. Project assessment and evaluation guidelines will be provided at an early stage in the project and the results of the activity will be presented and discussed at the third and final workshop of the DELTA Forum. A second horizontal activity involves dissemination and implementation. Through this activity, the project intends to provide an open door to all interested European actors that are not directly involved in the project, by setting up the DELTA Forum and organising its workshops as well as by a website, regular newsletters and a final brochure. The activity will also produce a technology implementation plan.
Finally, there is the project management activity that seeks to ensure timely and high-quality results by efficient co-operation.
While the core development and testing phases are led by industrial actors, the Technical University of Aachen will be responsible for validation and ERTICO will be responsible for project management and dissemination.

Milestones:
In March 2000, the project will organise a Forum workshop to validate and finalise its user needs analysis. This will lead to an agreed set of user needs and high-level system requirements in April 2000.
Work on the system architecture and common interface specifications will then start, and its results will be presented at a Forum workshop on system architecture and recommendations on related issues in December 2000.
This will lead to a new work item proposal (supported by a technical report) submitted to CEN in January 2001. The DELTA validation plan (assessment and evaluation guidelines) will be ready by April 2001.
In the meanwhile, development work will have started leading to prototypes of in-car equipment and roadside equipment ready for testing in November 2001.
Field trials will then start and their results will be presented the third Forum workshop on validation in April 2002.
Finally, the validated architecture and interface specifications will be sent to CEN (in the form of a proposed prENV) and validated recommendations on related issues will be ready in May 2002.
