1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Short outline of SEE-ITS project
SEE-ITS is a transnational project aiming to stimulate cooperation, harmonization and
interoperability between isolated Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) in South East Europe.
SEE-ITS focuses on setting the framework for ITS deployment in the field of road transport
and for interfaces with other modes of transport based on the guidelines of the European
Union’s Directive (2010/40/EU) dealing with ITS deployment.
The scope of the project is to enhance the interoperable use of ITS for traffic monitoring and
control along road transport networks at transnational, regional and local (urban/peri-urban)
levels. The project results will set a long-term sustainable strategic and operational
framework for institutional and operational integration of ITS in South East Europe countries.
1.2. Aim of the report
The purpose of this document is to present the status of the Romanian National ITS
Architecture, the existing ITS architecture in Romania. The report also gives an overview
about the problems of the maintenance and operation of the above mentioned Architecture.
This report describes the level that has been reached in the first version of the Romanian
National ITS Architecture with explanation why it is needed and for what propose to use it.
This document also gives picture about the history of its development, about the
methodology which was used during the preparation of the first version and which can be
used for the next steps e.g. the revision of it.
1.3. Contents and structure of the document
Contents and structure of this document was determined by the form sent by the
international partners of the project.

2. OVERVIEW OF ROMANIA’S ITS
ARCHITECTURE
2.1. Background
The first event related to the FRAME Architecture was a Workshop organised in 2004 by
Frame Project in Bucharest.
A national research project was started in 2005 to develop a national ITS Architecture, based
on FRAME, and a set of results were provided at the end of 2008 (NARITS project, National
Architecture for Road ITS www.narits.ro).
In 2012, National Road Administration contracted ITS Architecture for Road Network and
the result is a strategic document which is the baseline for development projects. This ITS
Architecture is part of the strategic document, named ”Strategia de dezvoltare pe
termen scurt şi mediu pentru monitorizarea traficului/infrastructurii rutiere şi
informarea asupra traficului/condiţiilor de circulaţie” (Short and medium terms
strategy for road traffic and infrastructure monitoring and traffic and traveller
information).
2.2. Components of Romania’s national ITS architecture
2.2.1. User needs and services
At this time only the ITS architecture contracted by National Road Administration is the single
ITS Architecture related initiative which is used in developing new ITS projects.
The NRA ITS Architecture describes all user needs of FRAME which are connected with ITS
systems for national road network but only the needs related to monitoring were detailed
and mentioned in the strategic document as an example of using FRAME in developing new
ITS systems (for other categories of needs, the main document presented the FRAME list and
methodology).

2.2.2. Context Diagram
The context diagram is the same with the context diagram of FRAME (it is a generic one).
The ITS architecture of National Road Administration is only a strategic document which is
used as reference for technical specifications of new ITS systems.
Figure 1: Context diagram (Romanian)
A list of terminators was identified and mentioned in the strategic document, the main scope
was to link the ITS systems with all these terminators, to provide interoperability on road
network.

2.2.3. Logical Architecture (or Functional Viewpoint)
The Functional Viewpoint of ITS Architecture was elaborated on the base of the Functional
Viewpoint of Frame and it is a particular application of this European tool. The main functions
identified and mentioned (as main functions for an ITS system which is able to collect data
and provide information to traveller and other TMCs) in the strategic documents are (the
following is a translation from Romanian document which was elaborated on the base of
FRAME tools but it was adapted for real implementation and the main needs of NRA):
Data acquisition functions
Communication functions
Data processing functions
Interfaces functions
Presentation and information functions
Making decisions and warning functions
2.2.4. Communications Viewpoint
Communications viewpoint is treated at high level, only few recommendations on this aspect
were included in ITS Architecture of National Road Administration.

Figure 3: General Communication architecture (strategic document)
The general communication architecture offers a general view on the components of the ITS
systems for traffic and road monitoring and provide two communication solutions between
Traffic Control Centre and Local RSU (optical fiber and radio link, to provide a redundant
solution). The figure presents also local communication solutions, between RSU and local
devices and equipment.

3. ARCHITECTURE IMPLEMENTATION
3.1. Case 1: Monitoring and Traveller Information ITS
system for A1 Motorway
This project was developed under the frame of EasyWay project and was designed as a pilot
project on A1 Motorway between Bucharest and Pitesti. National Road Administration (CN
ADNR) has used ITS architecture as well as Deployment Guidelines EasyWay to elaborate
technical specifications of the system. The system has 6 equipped nodes with different
monitoring technologies and a Traffic Management Centre which is located in Bucharest.
3.2. Case 2: Monitoring and traveller information
system for A2 Motorway
ITS system on A2 Motorway was developed direct linked with A1 system and an integration
of both systems has been done. The A2 motorway links Bucharest by Black Sea (Constanta)
and has a length approx. 250 km and it is the longest motorway in Romania in 2013. The
technical specifications of the ITS systems on this motorway were elaborated on the base of
the strategic documents (referred in this report) and the deployment guidelines of EasyWay
2.
3.3. Problems encountered
The main scope of the ITS Architecture is to provide a common framework for new ITS
projects. NRA in Romania has elaborated this ITS architecture for national road network only
as strategic document. The next step is to improve the architecture and to use this tool for
technical specifications of new ITS systems. The main problem identified is the application of
FRAME only at strategic level not at design level, that means an open but not a fully
integration of ITS systems.
Another problem is the lack of training in ITS Architecture and the application of FRAME at
national level and there is a difficulty to understand exactly what the architecture is and what
the results of the architecture are.
Several gaps were identified during this analysis of ITS Architecture: between interurban
roads and urban areas, between the administrator of national road network and other
stakeholders in the field of ITS, a huge gap between local and central administrations in terms
of strategies and tools for supporting these strategies.

4. CONCLUSIONS
4.1. Actions towards interoperability
The following actions are the most important identified:
Extension of the architecture up to design level of ITS systems, not only at the
strategic level;
Education and training activities on ITS Architecture
An integration of urban and interurban ITS Architecture
Common ITS Architecture for all European countries (ex. FRAME) could ensure the
interoperability between countries in terms of technical approach and could be an
instrument for political and economic understanding of the interconnection of ITS
systems between countries.
Deployment of road corridors, as well as multimodal corridors, among different
member states in Europe could be an opportunity to develop interoperable systems.
4.2. Final concluding remarks
The European ITS Architecture could improve the quality of transport services, generally
speaking, and the efficiency of ITS deployment, particularly. The context diagram could
provide a first step for interoperability through identification of the links between the ITS
system and any other system. A detailed architecture, mainly based on the same European
architecture for both interurban and urban roads, could create the proper environment to
ensure the interoperability between systems, organisations and countries to provide, finally,
the continuity of ITS Services on TERN.
