1 Scope
This document defines the message, data structures, and data elements to support exchanges
between the roadside equipment and vehicles to address applications to improve safety, mobility and environmental efficiency. In order to verify that
the defined messages will satisfy these applications , a systems engineering process has been employed that traces use cases to requirements
and requirements to messages and data concepts.
This document consists of a single document that contains the base specification and
a series of annexes. The base specification lists the derived information requirements
(labelled informative) and references to other standards for message definitions where
available. Annex A contains descriptions of the use cases addressed by this document. Annex B and Annex C contain traceability matrices that relate use cases to requirements and requirements
to the message definitions (i.e. data frames and data elements). The next annexes
list the base message requirements and application -oriented specific requirements (requirements traceability matrix) that map to the message and data concepts to be implemented. As such, an implementation consists
of the base plus an additional group of extensions within this document.
Details on information requirements, for other than SPaT , MAP , SSM , and SRM messages are provided in other International Standards. The focus of this document
is to specify the details of the SPaT ,
