Title:
Comment on the standardization of Taxonomy of Automated Driving Systems
Summary
TTC supports the standardization activity in ITU-T SG16 for F.AUTO-TAX, Taxonomy for ICTenabled motor vehicle automated driving systems. This contribution provides the opinion of TTC
Smart Car Sub-Working Group on the standardization of Taxonomy of Automated Driving
Systems.
1
Introduction
Recently the needs for the automated driving systems are highly envisaged in worldwide, and TTC
would like to express their support for the standardization effort for ICT-enabled motor vehicle
automated driving systems, developing draft Recommendation ITU-T F.AUTO-TAX in ITU-T
SG16.
There should be many different scenarios for ICT enabled automated driving systems depending on
the use cases. This document provides TTC’s high-level comments on the direction for the
development of draft Recommendation F.AUTO-TAX.
TTC also thinks it important to define the functionalities required for automated driving.

Discussion
2.1
Use case/usage scenario dependency of Taxonomy
Requirements and functionalities for ICT enabled automated driving systems should be
differently categorized depending on their use cases/usage scenarios. So, it is envisaged
that single common taxonomy applied to all use cases/usage scenarios should be difficult

to be developed. TTC considers that the Taxonomy should be developed appropriately on
plural use cases/usage scenarios.
2.2
Examples of use cases/usage scenarios
Followings are the examples of different use cases/usage scenarios from the view point of
functionalities and/or regal complexities;
2.2.1 Road driving and Parking
Requirements/functionalities for road driving and parking should be considered to be
quite different, and the implementation of regulations by the administrations for such
use cases is likely to be different in time frame. .
2.2.2 Driving in public roads and in closed area
The categorization for such use cases might be better to be differentiated by the road
conditions, such as open road and closed areas including parking lots and farms.
2.2.3 Single vehicle driving and platoon-vehicles driving
Requirements and functionalities for single vehicle driving and platoon-vehicles
driving, and the application of regulations for these two use cases should also be
quite different in terms of regal responsibilities and implementation time frame..
2.2.4 Head vehicle and followers
Requirements/functionalities for head-vehicles and followers should be quite
different since there should be a driver in the head-vehicles and no driver in the
followers
2.2.5 Driving in open road and motor ways
Requirements for the car driven in open roads and in motorways should also be
different.
It is proposed first to survey the types of different use cases and usage scenarios, and then
combine them into smaller number of groups that can be considered to be essential for
different types of taxonomies.
2.3
Definitions of functionalities
Not only defining Taxonomies for automated driving, making definitions for
functionalities necessary for automated driving should be important. TTC encourages
ITU-T SG16 to study the definitions of functionalities necessary for automated driving,
such as automated braking, automated parking, route selection, changing lanes, platoon
vehicle driving, etc. for example.
3
Proposal
For the standardization of taxonomies for automated driving, first review the use cases/usage
scenarios, and then develop the minimum set of taxonomies for essential use cases/usage scenarios.
It is also proposed to define the functionalities necessary for automated driving.
TTC wishes these comments to be discussed during CITS meeting to be held in Arlington USA, 7
December 2015 kindly hosted by TIA.
