Abstract:
Transportation is an essential part of daily life. To ensure optimal transportation of people and goods, all stakeholders, including traffic participants, infrastructure providers, and service providers, must be interconnected. This interconnectivity enables efficient traffic management, energy and noise reduction, and safe driving. However, integrating different systems via various communication technologies and protocols can pose challenges to ensuring information quality, reliability, security, and privacy. As communication becomes a more critical safety factor for connected and automated driving, and more systems are involved in communication, ensuring data quality becomes increasingly crucial. This includes data availability, range, precision, privacy, and security. This paper presents an evaluation mechanism for assessing the quality of standardized protocols in terms of interoperability. It can be concluded that, although many protocols exist in the field of intelligent transp
ortation systems, they transport similar information but differ in details that may impact the applications working with that information.
