Analysis Products
HTG7’s primary product is an identification of gaps and overlaps in standards necessary to implement C-ITS. As a byproduct of the work required to identify these gaps and overlaps, HTG7 is also producing an architecture product that provides a globally harmonized C-ITS reference.
The Harmonized Architecture Reference for Technical Standards (HARTS) provides a globally generated C-ITS architecture reference with source materials spanning three continents. As described in the methodology section, HARTS includes three views, with heritage from a variety of sources. The primary gap analysis products are contained within the Communications Reference Model portion of the Communications View, but all views are relatable to their source products and may be used for other purposes if appropriate.
| View and Models | Source Heritage | Primary Products |
|---|---|---|
| Functional | CVRIA, FRAME, NIA (AU), ITS-S | HARTS Functional database |
| Physical | CVRIA | Service Package diagrams HARTS Physical database |
| Communications | CVRIA, FRAME, NIA, ITS-S, ETSI | Gap and Overlap Analysis Communications Reference Model |
The results of the analysis are presented in a series of reports:
- Executive Overview (HTG7-1): A high-level summary of the approach, process and the key results of HTG7.
- Analysis Methodology (HTG7-2): Presents the HTG7 methodology used to develop HARTS, perform the gap analysis, and develop proposed resolutions.
- Issues and Proposed Resolutions (HTG7-3): Summarises the issues identified within HARTS and proposes actions to resolve these issues. It introduces a series of more detailed reports, each of which identifies the same set of proposed resolutions but adopts a presentation format and includes details relevant to a different perspective, as follows:
- Results: Solution Perspective (HTG7-3-1-AU, HTG7-3-1-EU, HTG7-3-1-JP, HTG7-3-1-US): Addresses development or implementation teams in their planning and procurement processes. This detailed report lists each solution along with its associated issues and proposed resolutions. This detailed report is divided into 4 regional reports, one for each participating region where the region is reflected by replacing
with the 2-letter region code . - Results: Proposed Resolution Perspective (HTG7-3-2): Assists standards development communities in their planning and work process. This detailed report lists each proposed resolution along with its associated issues and the data exchanges affected by these issues.
- Results: Service Package Perspective (HTG7-3-3-AU, HTG7-3-3-EU, HTG7-3-3-JP, HTG7-3-3-US): Offers road operators the opportunity to evaluate the “readiness” of service packages. This detailed report lists each service package, the data exchanges contained within the service package, and the issues associated with each solution for each data exchange. This detailed report is divided into 4 regional reports, one for each participating region where the region is reflected by replacing
with the 2-letter region code5.
- Results: Solution Perspective (HTG7-3-1-AU, HTG7-3-1-EU, HTG7-3-1-JP, HTG7-3-1-US): Addresses development or implementation teams in their planning and procurement processes. This detailed report lists each solution along with its associated issues and proposed resolutions. This detailed report is divided into 4 regional reports, one for each participating region where the region is reflected by replacing
- HARTS Website Overview (HTG7-4): Provides an overview of the HARTS public website, available at http://htg7.org. It describes each aspect of the website and provides instructions on how to submit comments about the information on the website.
- HARTS Reference Compendium (HTG7-5): Provides reference material including:
- A glossary of terms and associated definitions
- Acronyms and associated meanings
- Graphic symbols and associated meanings
- Explanations of key terms and their inter-relationships.
