Does interoperability testing apply to all ITS projects?
The only interoperability tests that are currently contemplated by the USDOT are those associated with the Commercial Vehicle Operations (CVO) program. These tests are currently being used by States deploying CVO systems and will follow a similar set of criteria for adoption as those defined for standards. Again, as with standards, should the USDOT consider the adoption of these or any other interoperability tests, a formal Rulemaking process would be required.
