Successful implementation and operation of a connected vehicle environment (CVE) will require vendors and implementers to understand where standards will be needed; planning for deployment of these new technologies and applications will require guidelines that assist deployers with using the new connected vehicle elements within the National ITS Architecture. These efforts to identify standards and develop guidelines are most effectively performed by developing a set of System Architecture Viewpoints that describe the: functional, physical and logical interfaces; enterprise relationships; and communications dependencies for each technology and application within the connected vehicle environment. These viewpoints result in a Connected Vehicle Reference Implementation Architecture (CVRIA).

A consolidated list of interfaces to be considered for standardization will be developed from the CVRIA. This consolidated list will include interfaces to be considered for standardization, and a plan for the development, modification, and adoption of standards to cover selected interfaces of sufficient public interest. The resulting architecture viewpoints will be incorporated into the National ITS Architecture.
