Is there standards in the field of ITS to

could support public procurement ?
Yes: ISO TC 204
SCOPE : Standardization of information, communication and control systems in
the field of urban and rural surface transportation:

Integrating vehicles with roadway networks through the use of on-board

wireless communications ;

Conversion of vehicle and infrastructure data to provide timely

location based services to drivers and roadway operators ;

To improve advanced safety applications such as automatic crash

notification, secure freight transport and crash avoidance ;

An improved environment through reduced fuel consumption

ISO 14825:2011 Intelligent transport

systems - Geographic Data Files
ISO 14825:2011 specifies the conceptual and logical data model and physical
encoding formats for geographic databases for Intelligent Transport
Systems (ITS) applications and services. It includes a specification of
potential contents of such databases (data dictionaries for Features,
Attributes and Relationships), a specification of how these contents shall
be represented, and of how relevant information about the database itself
can be specified (metadata).
The focus of ISO 14825:2011 is on ITS applications and services and it
emphasizes road and road-related information. ITS applications and
services, however, also require information in addition to road and roadrelated information.
Typical ITS applications and services targeted by ISO 14825:2011 are invehicle or portable navigation systems, traffic management centres, or
services linked with road management systems, including the public
transport system

ISO 14816:2005 Road transport and

traffic telematics - Automatic vehicle and
equipment identification - Numbering and
data structure
ISO 14816:2005 establishes a common framework data structure for
unambiguous identification in RTTT/ITS systems. It excludes any
physical aspects such as interfaces. It is neither frequency- nor air
interface protocol-specific.
Data elements that form part of transmission or storage protocols such
as headers, frame markers and checksums are thus excluded.
The specifications for protecting against changes, classifying and
qualifying security aspects of the data structure elements are not
included within ISO 14816:2005.
Status: Published - 35 pages.

ISO 14813-1:2007 Intelligent transport

systems - Reference model
architecture(s) for the ITS
ISO 14813-1:2007 provides a definition of the primary services and application
areas that can be provided to Intelligent Transport System (ITS) Users.
Those with a common purpose can be collected together in ITS service
domains, and within these there can be a number of ITS service groups for
particular parts of the domain. ISO 14813-1:2007 identifies 11 service
domains, within which numerous groups are then defined. Within this
framework, there are varying levels of detail related to definition of
different services. These details differ from nation to nation, depending on
whether the specific national architecture building blocks are based
directly upon services or on groups of functions. Thus, the intent is to
address groups of services and the respective domains within which they
fit. As these domains and service groups evolve over time, it is intended
that this International Standard be revised to include them.
Status: Published - 28 pages.

ISO 14813-6:2009 Intelligent transport

systems - Reference model
architecture(s) for the ITS
ISO 14813-6:2009 provides an 'enabling' structure for use in the ITS
sector. It provides a formal means to enact the ISO/TC 204 decision by
resolution to use ASN.1 for data definitions within ITS International
Standards. This provides a common message form to enable
interoperability and reuse. It provides consistency of use so that
where other aspects of ASN.1 (defined within ISO/IEC 8824 and
ISO/IEC 8825), such as transfer rules, are selected to be used, they are
used in a common and consistent way in order to maximize
interoperability and reuse.
It is important to note that ISO 14813-6:2009 does not require the use of
ASN.1 for anything other than providing a common and flexible form
of data definition and this document makes specific provision for the
support of use of other extant standardised syntax notations
Status: Published 15 pages.
