ITS Standards are used to define the information exchange between ITS project elements. The Bay Area ITS
Architecture provides the recommended relevant standards for each information exchange within the Bay Area ITS
Architecture. Their use is not mandatory.
In reviewing and applying these standards, the following principles need to be kept in mind:
- These standards only need to be applied where there will be an exchange of data or monitoring/control functions between systems or field devices.
- The specific standards listed are not static. As the standards are implemented, changes are being made. In addition, the standards are being changed as technology evolves.
In order to find which standard impacts your project deployment, refer to the Standards by Data Flow. Standards will require additional review before they can be used. Specifically, the stakeholder will need to know which technology is being implemented (i.e. Ethernet, point to multipoint, etc.) and which standard center-to-center protocol (i.e. CORBA, DATEX, XML, etc.) is being implemented to determine specific applicable standards.
The standards recommended for major regional projects are divided into the following categories:
Center to Center Standards
Center to Field Standards
Vehicle to Field
