Introduction

ITS Station Communication Profiles, see EN ISO 17423 and EN ISO 17419, used for communications between (trusted) devices simplify achieving

— interoperability between ITS station units,
— and portability of ITS applications (that provide the ITS services).

Examples of trusted devices, i.e. ITS-secured communication nodes, are ITS-station units specified in ISO 21217, which fully covers ETSI EN 302 665^[³²^]. Four implementation contexts of communication nodes in ITS communications networks are identified in ISO 21217, each comprised of ITS-station units taking on a particular role; personal, vehicular, roadside, or central. Such ITS station units participate in a wide variety of ITS services related to e.g. sustainability, road safety and transportation efficiency.

An ITS station unit can be composed of ITS station communication units from different vendors where each ITS station communication unit is linked to a different configuration and management centre specified in ISO 24102‑2^[²¹^] and EN ISO 17419. Station-internal management communications between ITS station communication units of the same ITS station unit is specified in ISO 24102‑4^[²²^].

The identification of ITS station communication profiles specified in this document is generically applicable to all kind of communications including broadcast information dissemination and sessions, e.g. sessions between ITS station units, sessions between ITS station communication units of the same ITS station unit, sessions between roadside ITS station units and a cloud platform, and between vehicle ITS station units and a cloud platform, including communications sessions compatible with extended vehicles standards developed by ISO TC 22 (ISO 20077 series^[¹²^]).
