ITU Standardization on ITS and Smart Mobility

The Study Groups (SGs) of the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) bring together experts from around the world to develop ITU-T Recommendations. These international standards are the defining elements of the global information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure. In this page you will learn on ITU Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and Smart Mobility standardization activities from various ITU-T Study Groups.

Numbering for in-car communication (SG2)

The work of SG2 covers all aspects of numbering, naming & addressing. In the context of Intelligent Transportation System, SG2 specifically assigns international numbering ranges for in-car emergency communication calls.

QoS of Speech and Audio (SG12)

SG12 focuses on enhancing quality of service of speech and audio in vehicles and develops international standards and delivers guidance aimed at enhancing road safety and user experience.

Vehicular Multimedia & Automated Driving (SG21)

In line with WTSA Resolution 104, ITU-T Study Group 21, established at WTSA-24, focuses on vehicular communication standards, including V2X, IMT systems, infotainment, ITS gateways, and AI in automated driving, continuing the work of the former SG16.

ITS Security (SG17)

Focusing on security of Intelligent Transport Systems, SG17 developed a secure software update capability for ITS communication devices, and fosters public and private trust towards the emerging ITS applications worldwide.

IoT and Traffic Management (SG20)

SG20 focuses on smart mobility in the context of smart cities and communities. It studies ways to enhance traffic management taking advantage from the deployment of the Internet of Things and its applications.

Expert Group on Communications Technology for Automated Driving

The Expert Group addresses a range of critical topics related to vehicular communications technology for automated driving, including addressing the challenge of reliable automated merging into congested lanes.
