Reporting method within an intelligent transport system

An originating ITS station, ITS-S, within an Intelligent Transport System, ITS, the originating ITS-S comprising:

• one or more embedded sensors, configured to monitor a given area in order to detect objects;
• an analytical module configured to process data provided by the sensors in order to provide a list of detected objects in the monitored area;
• a safety-critical categorization module configured to process the list of detected objects in order to provide a safety-critical categorization information related to each detected object, wherein the safety-critical categorization information comprises a safety-critical level;
• a communication module configured to transmit a Collective Perception Message, CPM, comprising information related to at least one of the detected objects in the monitored area, wherein the information related to at least one of the detected objects comprises the associated safety-critical categorization information provided by the safety-critical categorization module;
• and
• disabling any mechanism preventing a detected object associated with a safety-critical level higher than a corresponding safety-critical level threshold from being reported in the CPM.

A method for processing a Collective Perception Message, CPM, the method being intended for an Intelligent Transport System, ITS, comprising at least one originating ITS station, ITS-S, and at least one receiving ITS-S, the method comprising the following steps, at the at least one receiving ITS-S:

• receiving a CPM reporting information related to at least one object detected within an area monitored by the originating ITS-S;
• retrieving, from the reported information, a safety-critical categorization information, indicating whether the object is critical for the safety of the monitored area, wherein the safety-critical categorization information comprises a safety-critical level;
• determining whether the object is categorized as critical for the safety of the monitored area;
• and
• disabling any mechanism preventing a detected object associated with a safety-critical level higher than a corresponding safety-critical level threshold from being reported in the CPM.

A method for processing a Collective Perception Message, CPM, the method being intended for an Intelligent Transport System, ITS, comprising at least one originating ITS station, ITS-S, and at least one receiving ITS-S, the method comprising the following steps, at the at least one receiving ITS-S:

• receiving a CPM reporting information related to at least one object detected within an area monitored by the originating ITS-S, wherein the at least one object is reported with at least one another detected object thereby forming a group of detected objects;
• retrieving from the reported information a safety-critical categorization information common to all the objects of the group of detected objects, indicating whether the group of detected objects is categorized as critical for the safety of the monitored area, wherein the safety-critical categorization information comprises a safety-critical level;
• and
• disabling any mechanism preventing a detected object associated with a safety-critical level higher than a corresponding safety-critical level threshold from being reported in the CPM.
