Course Description:

This module begins with an introduction to the certification testing process of RSU and OBU devices to insure that communications between vehicles and roadside equipment is private, secure and interoperable throughout North America. It is essential that agencies use standards certification tests in deploying connected vehicle technologies to maximize the benefits from the connected vehicle environment. By taking this module, participants will learn how to specify certification requirements in contract terms and conditions. Deploying certified Connected Vehicles equipment will support interoperability, minimize future integration costs, make procurements easier, and facilitate regional and national integration.

 

The module then presents the relevant standards for the Connected Vehicles wireless “stack”, which is comprised of the software implementation of the message protocols and dialogs between vehicles (V2V) and between vehicles and roadside infrastructure (V2I). The module then presents an overview of the Roadside Unit (RSU) Hardware Requirement Specifications and RSU Software Requirements Specifications that have been established for manufactures. Finally, the module describes traceability from Requirements to Test Specifications, Test Cases, Test Procedures for independent test labs and Test Certification Report requirements for procurement contracts.

Target Audience
• Public Sector Managers of surface transportation systems and agencies
• Procurement officials for surface transportation agencies
• Decision Makers
• Private and public sector users including manufacturers
