Abstract: The Intelligent Transport Systems solutions require guarantied service quality of applied wireless mobile seamless communications solutions with typically widely spread areas coverage. Telecommunications service parameters adopted as performance indicators are tightly linked with ITS service performance quantification. Most of publically provided data services are not able to meet ITS specific requirements on data service quality and security. Nevertheless, ITS requirements can be cost-effectively resolved if the different public and private services are effectively combined. Such solution requires implementation of the relevant flexible system architecture supported by the efficient decision processes. Additionally namely “Car to Infrastructure” and “Car to Car” communication interconnected with the vehicle on board data network based on the CAN (Controlled Area Network) bus can significantly increase potential of the intruders attacks and the integration of the relevant telecommunications security treatment has been understood as the crucial part of the ITS telecommunications solution.
