Extended FRAME Architecture for Cooperative Systems
"FRAME V4.1 - Cooperative ITS Extended" is now available. It contains the Cooperative Systems services and applications developed by the COOPERS, CVIS and SAFESPOT FP6 Integrated Projects.
A full description of the FRAME Architecture, and the work done to create this version, can be found in download (6 MB zip file).
Consolidated User Needs for Cooperative Systems
This document has two principal aims. As a deliverable of the E-FRAME project its primary aim is to describe the extensions to the User Needs that were necessary to include Cooperative Systems within the European ITS Framework (FRAME) Architecture. The secondary aim is to provide a document that describes the FRAME User Needs in general, and that can replace the corresponding document produced by the FPIV project KAREN, some of whose contents are no longer relevant.

Physical and Communications Viewpoints for ITS Architectures of Cooperative Systems
This document provides an introduction to creating ITS System Architectures for Cooperative Systems applications with the FRAME Architecture tools, and demonstrates this process using two examples from cooperative ITS. The first of which represents the first level priority services for the European

Cooperative Systems: Deployment and Organisational Issues
This booklet discusses the non-technical issues related to the deployment of integrated cooperative systems, and the role of the FRAME Architecture. It is a summary of the document "Deployment and Organsiational Issues for Cooperative Systems" (see below)

Deployment and Organisational Issues for Cooperative Systems
The deployment of integrated Cooperative Systems, by definition, involves players from many different sectors: the automotive industry, road operators and telecommunications operators, as well as road-based service and equipment providers. Real world deployment will require the definition of new relationships between these players as well as the solution of technical, organisational and business issues. Further unsolved issues cover communication technologies and protocols, safety issues, security and privacy issues, and liability and legal issues. The FRAME Architecture provides a tool and a methodological approach which can be used to help plan the deployment of integrated ITS for a nation, region, city or project. By creating various viewpoints – functional, physical, communications – a foundation can be produced to analyse and help solve the issues.

Current cooperative systems standardisation and its relation to ITS Architecture
The objective of this document is to describe the links between the current (July 2011) standardization activities, with an emphasis on cooperative systems, and ITS architecture. It also provides guidelines for the use of standards in this area by giving information on Standards Development Organizations, the main standards currently available, ongoing activities (including the work being done in response to Mandate M/453) and makes recommendations for the usage of standards together with the cooperative systems architecture. Finally, this document proposes measures or tools for a more efficient and better utilization of standards.
