UNE-EN ISO 17427-1:2018

This International Standard contains a detailed description of the (actor invariant) Roles and

Responsibilities required to deploy and operate Cooperative-ITS (C-ITS). The organization /

organization of actors / roles described in this document are designed to be appropriate for any fully

operational system that uses the C-ITS concepts and techniques in order to achieve its service provision.

This International Standard is presented in terms of an Organizational or Enterprise Viewpoint as

defined in ISO/IEC 10746 Open Distributed Processing.

This International Standard, Roles and Responsibilities in the context of Cooperative-ITS based on

architecture(s) for cooperative systems is for all types of road traffic of all classes, and for any other

actors involved in the provision of applications and services which use C-ITS (3.8) techniques to achieve

service provision. The description of roles is technology agnostic and, in terms of Cooperative-ITS,

agnostic in respect of communication modes and embraces vehicle-vehicle communications, vehicleinfrastructure

communications and infrastructure-infrastructure communications.

This International Standard provides a methodology for the identification of service specific roles

and their corresponding responsibilities based on a process oriented approach. Additionally, the

methodology is used to identify the roles and responsibilities for Cooperative-ITS (3.8) in general.

Both the methodology as well as the roles and responsibilities for Cooperative-ITS are deduced from

ISO/IEC 10746, the reference model of Open Distributed Processing . Open Distributed Processing

offers five viewpoints of which the Enterprise Viewpoint (3.10) corresponds with the Organizational

Architecture and its roles and responsibilities.

To limit the scope of the document to the core of Cooperative-ITS, the roles are separated into external

and internal . Considered to be internal are all roles that are highly relevant for the purpose of achieving

service provision by means of Cooperative-ITS. Considered to be external are all roles involved in

Cooperative-ITS, but not set up only for the purpose of Cooperative-ITS.

This International Standard provides a description of a high-level architectural viewpoint on

Cooperative-ITS. It is designed to be used as a blueprint when implementing service provision systems

that use Cooperative-ITS, and the corresponding organizational structures. The characteristics of

Cooperative-ITS entail a huge number of data / information exchanges therefore the implementation

stringently needs to respect privacy and data protection as it is defined in ISO/TR 12859 and in national

laws and regulations (where instantiated). Privacy and data protection affects all roles defined in this

International Standard due to these characteristics and all actors occupying roles in Cooperative-ITS

need to respect the corresponding standards and regulations.
