US: WAVE Tolling - Local Unicast Wireless (1609.2)

Description

This solution is used within the U.S.. It combines standards associated with US: WAVE Tolling with those for V–X: Local Unicast Wireless (1609.2). The US: WAVE Tolling standards include upper–layer standards required to implement V2I tolling flows. The V–X: Local Unicast Wireless (1609.2) standards include lower–layer standards that support local–area unicast wireless solutions applicable to North America, such as WAVE DSRC, LTE–V2X, LTE, Wi–Fi, etc.

SecurityIEEE 1609.2IEEE Standard for Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments – Security Services for Applications and Management MessagesThis standard defines secure message formats and processing for use by Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) devices, including methods to secure WAVE management messages and methods to secure application messages. It also describes administrative functions necessary to support the core security functions.
SecurityIEEE 1609.2aIEEE 1609.2a–2017 – IEEE Standard for Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments––Security Services for Applications and Management Messages – Amendment 1This standard defines secure message formats and processing for use by Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) devices, including methods to secure WAVE management messages and methods to secure application messages. It also describes administrative functions necessary to support the core security functions.
SecurityIEEE 1609.2bIEEE Standard for Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments––Security Services for Applications and Management Messages – Amendment 2––PDU Functional Types and Encryption Key ManagementThis standard defines secure message formats and processing for use by Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) devices, including methods to secure WAVE management messages and methods to secure application messages. It also describes administrative functions necessary to support the core security functions.
ITS Application EntityISO 14906Electronic fee collection –– Application interface definition for dedicated short–range communicationISO 14906 specifies the application interface in the context of electronic fee collection (EFC) systems using the dedicated short–range communication (DSRC).
FacilitiesIEEE 1609.11IEEE Standard for Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE)–– Over–the–Air Electronic Payment Data Exchange Protocol for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)This standard defines a basic level of technical interoperability for an over–the–air electronic payment (e.g., tolling) protocol for the vehicle–to–roadside link for electronic payment equipment. It does not provide a full solution for interoperability, and it does not define other parts of the electronic payment system, other services, other technologies and non–technical elements of payment interoperability.
FacilitiesISO 15628Intelligent transport systems –– Dedicated short range communication (DSRC) –– DSRC application layerISO 15628 specifies the upper layers originally developed for EU 5.8 GHz backscatter communications, and US DSRC. Likely not very relevant for C–ITS. Application identifier is continued now as part of EN ISO 17419 ITS–AID.
TransNetIEEE 1609.3IEEE Standard for Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) – Networking ServicesThis standard defines the network and transport layer options for the WAVE environment. The standard defines three options: a bandwidth efficient single–hop solution known as WSMP, UDP/IP, and TCP/IP. It has been harmonized with ISO FNTP and FSAP – a common message format specified in ISO 16460.
AccessIEEE 802.11IEEE Draft Standard for Information technology––Telecommunications and information exchange between systems Local and metropolitan area networks––Specific requirements Part 11: Wireless LAN Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) SpecificatioThis standard defines the physical and data link layers for wireless Ethernet, including WiFi and DSRC.

Readiness: Moderate–Low

Readiness Description

Multiple significant and minor issues.  For existing deployments, the chosen solution is likely deficient in security or management capabilities, and the issues should be reviewed and upgrades developed as needed. Some solutions in this category may also be becoming obsolete from an interoperability perspective and if this is the case, then upgrades should be planned as soon as possible. For new deployments, the solution may be viable for pilots when applied to the triples it supports; such pilot deployments should consider a path to addressing these issues as a part of their design activities. The solution does not provide sufficient interoperability, management, and security to enable proper, full–scale deployment without  additional work.
