Members

Stefan has left the board and we would like to find a replacement. Stockholm has informed us that they have difficulties finding a relevant person. We will ask Fintraffic if they would like to have a representative in the board.

Status

Working Groups

All working groups are active. Things are going well, we have more and more manufacturers that are active in the WGs and on GitHub.

Because we have six working groups, there's quite a lot of meetings and work. David and Emil are beginning to be a bit stretched, and we would therefore like to begin appointing leads for individual working groups, so get more people preparing proposals, which can then be coordinated/reviewed by the board.

We would prefer persons from road authorities, and with relevant skills in programming/engineering.

New WG on Tools

We have decided to initiate a new WG on RSMP test and validation tools.

Roadmap

From the charter: "Technical roadmaps should specify overall technical directions and should indicate when new version of the RSMP specifications are expected to be released.". Steering group might have supplementary roadmaps dealing with how to attract new partners, funding, etc.

What's the purpose of a technical roadmap?

• clarify our own strategy
• make it clear that RSMP is here to stay, and that road authorities will keep investing in the protocol
• make it easier for manufacturers to plan investments and business decisions
• important prerequisite when applying for funding

Show a path through a complex landscape. What will we focus on, what challenges will be deal with?

Fullfil our responsibilities as road authorities
Effective procurement and operations of road side equipment, preventing vendor lock-in
Help ensure an open marked with many relevant players and solutions
Protocol that ensures compatibility, performance and reliability and solves the needs we have

Traffic ligths, sensors, vms, toll system, etc.
Supervisor systems, bus priority systems
Data, logging, security, etc.
Integrations with other systems
C-ITS: communication with vehicles. data flows to/from central system

Roadmap Sketch, by Years:
1 monitor/control of TLC, VMS, sensors. TLC programming spec, RSMP 4 spec. tools, and test hub. security/encryption. EOL, deprecation of older spec versions.
2 country-neutral TLC SXL and other equipment types. RSMP 4 tools, use of AI to help road authorities achive more with less resource
3 TLC programming tools. new areas, e.g. public transport info signs, ad signs, street lightning
5 european standards. eu-wide compatibility

User AI/LLM in our internal workflows

We have access to CoPilot with various models on GitHub. How can we use this to accellerate our work?

To do

• contact Fintraffic
• work on the roadmap
• look at how to use AI tools ifor internal work
• initiate WEG on tools
• describe WG lead role/tasks.
