Project of applied research called "Analysis of technical and metrological requirements for GNSS receiving devices and their operations" is a part of a Metrology development program funded by Czech Office for Standards, Metrology and Testing. The project started in 2008 and its second part executed in 2009 was focused on preparation of certification procedures for first ITS applications and pilot testing of the procedures. The virtual gate passage detection (used in the systems such as EFC) was chosen as one of the tested applications.Results will be used as a benchmark for later testing and certification. Goal of the project is certification authority establishment to provide verification of defined parameters achievement in ITS critical systems which increases transport effectiveness and quality.

Intelligent transportation systems are one of the most rapidly evolving areas, requiring an appropriate response from standardization bodies and adequate support from EU regulations. This results in a high and ever-expanding volume of technical standards, which makes their practical use difficult and the harmonization process unsustainable. Therefore, standardization bodies are officially required to supply public information, based on which potential users can decide whether they need to buy or use a particular standard or not. The authors demonstrate how to solve this problem and achieve sustainability in terms of operating in a more intelligent and efficient manner. The proposed solution relies on the creation of standard extracts using a hybrid method that combines syntactic and semantic analysis and assumes human expert involvement. The paper presents the practical experience and results obtained from a long-term national project. A practical example is included so that the reader can comprehend a basic idea of the achieved results. The authors believe the proposed method can be adopted across other professional domains and other European countries.

This paper describes a way to better navigate in an ever increasing number of standards in the field of ITS. Short overview about fundamental ITS models is presented, the principles of related knowledge system are described. Ontology approach is used, especially as domain-oriented ITS ontology, where a new hybrid method is explained.
