Abstract
Cooperative-Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) services aim to improve road transportation through enhanced cooperative, connected, and automated mobility services. The current reference architectures for C-ITS have different abstractions, with some focusing on technical aspects, while others center on specific traffic issues of particular countries. As a result, they have varying technical details and use ad-hoc notations, which limit their adaptability for cross-border deployment of C-ITS services. This paper presents a method for developing a C-ITS reference architecture, involving three essential parts: abstracting common C-ITS systems, describing them using an architecture framework, and reviewing the reference architecture. Using our method, we developed a C-ITS reference architecture for the C-ITS services for deployment sites across European countries. Our reference architecture offers a clear and easily understandable design of C-ITS systems, eliminates the use of ad-hoc notations, and promotes adaptability. This makes it easier for stakeholders to communicate and collaborate across countries, facilitating the deployment of C-ITS services.

speaker, Flavio Oquendo, is a Full Professor of Computing and a research director on Formal Approaches to Software Architecture at the IRISA Research Institute (UMR CNRS 6074), France. He has been a recipient of the Research Excellence Award from the Ministry of Research and Higher Education (France), having been promoted to the rank of Distinguished Full Professor, named by the Section of Computing of the National Council of Universities. Our third speaker, Birgit Penzenstadler, is an Associate Professor at the joint Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology and Gothenburg University, Sweden, as well as an Adjunct Professor at the Lappeenranta University of Technology, Finland. She has been investigating resilience and sustainability from the point of view of software engineering during the past ten years, working on a body of knowledge and concepts of how to support sustainability from within Requirements Engineering.
