2012 WORK PROGRAM

e-Navigation Steering Committee and Special Committees 109, 112, 121, 129 and 130

1. Considering Paper 252-2007-BD-413 which includes the establishment of the e-Navigation Steering Committee, the Committee establishes its 2012 Work Program to:

a. Consider whether SC 121 on AIS and Digital Messaging should “certify” or “qualify” ASM.

Review Paper 152 - 2011 - eNav - 015.r1 and the 12100 standard CD. Discuss whether RTCM, through SC 121’s ASM TWG should “certify” or “qualify” ASM according to the 12100 standard.

Make a recommendation to the Board of Directors for their spring 2012 meeting.

b. Consider whether RTCM should develop new standards related to GNSS.

Review Paper 154-2011-eNav-016. Discuss whether RTCM should develop new standards for: 1) AIS transceivers as a a component of other systems; 2) GNSS (or GPS) receivers as a component of other systems; 3) RAIM; and/or 4) Interference, jamming and/or spoofing. Discuss whether these should be developed by a new special committee.

c. Consider whether RTCM should establish a position/policy related to NMEA interfaces and/or data formats.

Review Paper 233 - 2011 - eNav - 017. Discuss whether RTCM standards should: 1) Require both NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000® interfaces; and RTCM Paper 234-2011-eNav-018

2) Address the distribution of data over Ethernet, reference IEC 61162-450 for that purpose and include NMEA 2000® parameter groups (i.e., in addition to the NMEA 0183 sentences required by IEC 61162-450. Discuss whether a change to the RTCM Standards Development Policies (Paper 117 - 2005 - BD - 385) is necessary to provide such guidance.

d. Consider whether RTCM should establish a path forward for the implementation of e-Navigation.

Review the current technology of e-Navigation systems and infrastructure. Discuss the possibilities of encouraging the use of existing technology to implement e-Navigation capabilities. Discuss the role of RTCM standards toward this goal.

Develop a report identifying such a path forward. Coordinate with USCG, NOAA, NGA and USACE, as necessary, if appropriate.

Report to the Board of Directors for their autumn 2012 meeting.

2. Considering Paper 208-2010-BD-458 and the TORs for SC 109 on Electronic Charting Technology (Paper 197 - 2010 - SC109 - 258), SC 112 on Ship Radar (Paper 201 - 2010 - SC112 - 032), SC 121 on AIS and Digital Messaging (Paper 199 - 2010 - SC121 - 056), : SC 129 on the Portrayal of Navigation-Related Information on Shipboard Displays (Paper 198 - 2010 - SC129 - 001) and SC 130 on EOIS for Maritime Applications (Paper 179 - 2011 - SC130 - 001) to establish liaison and coordinate activities with the e-Navigation Steering Committee and each other, the Committee establishes their 2012 Work Programs as follows::

Subject: RTCM SC109 Work Program - Request for Modification

Sorry for taking so long to get this to you.

Please look this over and let me know if there are any questions or if you need additional information.

If you can also pass along an update on the status of the adjudication of the comments received it would be appreciated (might have missed them).

And lastly, are there any plans to meet for next week’s RTCM BoD and other committee meetings for the SC109?

Thanks,

Subject :

Request an addition to the SC109 Work Program to include guidance on the implementation of depth adjustments in the ECS database for real-time tidal data.

It would be preferable to have this included for the next SC109 Work Program; 10900.6 as opposed to 10900.7.

Summary :

IEC 62376 clause 4.2.1.4 allows that an ECS may adjust the depth information by actual and/or predicted water levels if the electronic chart database provides detailed bathymetric information.

In the meetings for RTCM 10900.4, SC109 identified a potential work item to create an annex that would provide guidance on implementing this. Unfortunately, further discussion on this item was postponed due to the adjudication of the comments received on the 10900.4 CDV.

As such, this item/section was deleted from the standard (i.e., in favor of simply accepting the IEC clause without any additional requirements or guidance).

Anticipated Outcome : RTCM Paper 234-2011-eNav-018

SC109 should produce an informative Annex for the RTCM 10900 standard to provide guidance on implementing tidal adjustments for the US using detailed bathymetric data from NOAA in combination with real-time tide data from PORTS (i.e., via AIS/ASM).

A.2.2 SC 112 1) Revise the 11200.0 standard as follows:

a) Coordinate with SC 130. Incorporate additional requirements and/or references to the 13000 standard for interfacing with EOIS, as appropriate, if applicable.

b) Review IEC 62388 (Ed. 2). Update the 11200 standard, as appropriate, if applicable.

2) Revise the 11201.0 standard as follows:

Review IEC 62388 (Ed. 2). Update the 11200 standard, as appropriate, if applicable.

Complete the 11201.1 CDV by the 2014 Annual Assembly Meeting and Conference. RTCM Paper 234-2011-eNav-018

B.2 Proposed Separation of Hardware and Software for ECS

From: Brice Pryszo

Cc: Joseph Ryan

Subject: SC 109 Work Program

Dear Bob,

Hopefully it is not too late (I was quite busy and travelling) but I would like to support a revision of SC 109 to reopen the issue of separating ECS software and hardware for test purposes.

You’ll recall that this was originally discussed at the first meeting of IEC TC80 WG7A (AI01- 03), but at the 5th meeting, the WG declared the AI to be OBE by the AI to “relax” the 60945 requirements for Class B ECS and allow for portable hardware (AI04-05). Given the state of the ECS market with respect to software developers and the availability of generic computer hardware meeting 60945 requirements, WG7A’s decision only serves to make ECS more like ECDIS… and therefore may defeat to primary purpose of a separate ECS standard. RTCM SC 109 should re-establish its leadership role in ECS and take on the original WG7A AI to “specify a generic hardware platform that can be type-certified to 60945 (and the hardware requirements of the ECS standard), and propose a separation of hardware and software” for test purposes in 10900.6.”

Best regards
