The document discusses the US DOT's goal of developing interoperable standards for intelligent transportation systems and the internet of things. It outlines the challenges of developing standards for a larger ecosystem of interconnected devices. It then discusses the US DOT's NTCIP 1213 standard for electrical lighting management systems and how it aims to support interoperability across different protocols and layers of the OSI model. It highlights initiatives to develop future versions of the standard to enable adaptive roadway lighting and integration with smart grid technologies.

 Managing Alarms and Emergency Services
 Smart Grid & Intelligent Transportation Systems integration
 Maintenance Support & Collaboration

6. Seven IoT & Smart Systems Evolution Challenges
1. Challenges with developing an effective cross-industry technology
reference architecture that will allow for true interoperability and
ease of deployment.
2. Complex services and solution delivery eco-systems that require
supply-side players to relate in new and different ways.
3. Fragmented vendor landscape that is not yet well aligned with the
larger IT infrastructure and network services players.
4. Requirement for vertically focused solutions from a supply-side
world that historically has been far more horizontally driven.
5. Technology disruption causing shifts across value chains in where
revenue and profits are realized.
6. Challenges in adopting new business models and making the
business case to support investments.
7. Anticipation of new product, service and systems innovation
modes that are not widely adopted today.

9. Interoperability:
The 7 OSI Layers 7
The Open Systems Interconnection 6
(OSI) Model was developed by
International Organization for 5
Standardization (ISO) in the 1980s
as an attempt to make 4
communication between any two
systems possible. 3
2
Before this, every equipment
manufacturer implemented its 1
own set of rules (protocols).
Therefore, two devices made by
different companies could not
"understand" each other.

10. To Assure Roadway Lighting System Interoperability,
- All 7 OSI Layers Must Be Supported

11. 1. Stakeholder Management by SDOs
• Strive to establish and maintain a constituency
of member stakeholders representative of all
5 basic interest groups:
– Technical societies and councils
– Regional organizational units
– Industry
– Government
– The general public

15. US DOT ITS NTCIP 1213 “ELMS” V2.0
US DOT ITS NTCIP 1213 Standard for
Electrical and Lighting Management Systems
V2.0 published in March 2011
• Addresses remote control and monitoring of all the electrical assets
in the public right of way, including roadway lighting, metering, and
safety equipment i.e. ground fault detection
• The result of a very broad consultative and inclusive group including
representatives from vendors, academicians and others holding a
stake in the development.
• Joins 20+ other ITS standards, including ITS Vehicle counters, traffic
signals, toll booth, cameras, dynamic message signs, rain, snow and
road reflectivity sensors.
• Referenced by the US DOE / NIST as a Smart Grid standard

16. How to Use the ELMS Standard
1. Identify your
User Need
2. Select the Dependent
Project Requirements
3. Use the Completed
Document as your
Project Specification

17. US DOT ITS NTCIP 1213 “ELMS” V3.0
The NTCIP 1213 Working Group is beginning
the development process for Version 3.0. This
initiative will include three main areas of
development:
1) Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) communications used for the
application of adaptive dynamic roadway lighting, via ITS SAE
J2735 SE
2) Communications standards for electric vehicle charging
through support of electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSEs)
3) Integration to the DOE/ NIST defined Smart Grid through
support of a standardized Energy Services Interface (ESI)
