Intelligent transport systems (ITS) interoperability assurance drivers

Interoperability is one of crucial problems in transport systems and it is touching especially the systems, when their complexity is growing with application of information and communications techniques. Directive of 2010/40/ EU on frameworks of the implementation of intelligent transport systems in the area of the road transport and interfaces with other types of transport has established measures to ensure ITS conformance, interoperability and continuity. Here there is review of the drivers to ITS interoperability achievement, as well as processes of their practical application. Special focus is on testing of the implementation of standards and the specifications.
