Introduction
This protocol is meant to be used for data acquisition in fleet management applications in the field of
municipal vehicles. The purpose of the protocol is to define how data of a vehicle or equipment is
generated, stored and transferred to a board-computer system in the vehicle and from the board-
computer to the software application in the office (refer to Figure 1). On the equipment or vehicle the
data is generated by a “Data generator”. This data is stored, if present, into a buffer-memory. The “Data
transmission handler” will send the data present in the buffer-memory to the “Board-computer” or “Data
Acquisition System”. The buffer-memory is there to ensure that data does not get lost in case there is no
transmission possible. The size or type of the buffer is not defined in this proposal. If there is no buffer or
the buffer is too small to store new data, data will get lost.
To synchronize time-stamps of the vehicle/equipment with the Board-computer, a special record for time
synchronization is defined.
In this part, the data acquisition and communication from vehicle/equipment to the Board-computer is
defined.

Figure 1 — Architecture
In general, the data is a semi-colon (“;”) separated extended ASCII text for separation of record codes and
values of variables. CR+LF is used for separation of records (one record is one line of text).

5 Communication between vehicle/equipment and board-computer
5.1 General
The data exchange between vehicle/equipment “Data transmission handler” and the “Board-computer”
shall follow at least one of the communication standards described in the present document version or
future release. Until now, only the RS232 standard (TIA-232-F) is defined as a communication standard
so that means that at the present a compliant EN 15430 “Data transmission handler” has to supply a
RS232 interface, if in the future other standard interfaces will be defined (e.g. CAN BUS, USB .) a
compliant EN 15430 future “Data transmission handler” will have to supply at least one of the
communication standard until that time is defined.

5.2.3 Communication protocol
Transmission of a record.
In this definition a message to be communicated consists of one record. Records are terminated by CR+LF
(a record is one line of text). In general, a message is sent by the sender (e.g. the “Data transmission
handler” of a spreader) and received by the receiver (e.g. the Board-computer). After power up,
communication is always started by the vehicle/equipment “Data transmission handler” sending its first
message (this is the time synchronization record). Refer to Figure 4 for flow charts of the sender and
receiver algorithms.
The receiver will check the validity of a message by testing if the CRC-16 value corresponds to the data in
the message received. If the data is valid, the receiver sends an ACK. The sender can now send a new
message. If the data is invalid, the receiver sends a NAK. Then, the sender will try to send the same
message again for a maximum of 2 times. If the message still fails, the message is considered to be lost.
Preferably, a notification is given to the user (operator) that data has been lost by the sender and/or the
receiver.
NOTE 1 The receiver sends an ACK or a NAK as a single character without other data. The ACK or NAK refers to
the latest message sent by the sender. To avoid record synchronization problems between sender and receiver, the
sender has to ignore any ACK or NAK received during the transmission of a message until the last byte is sent (EOT
character). Also, the receiver is not allowed to send an ACK or NAK during the reception of a message until the last
byte is received (EOT character).
Numerical values have to be transmitted with ASCII characters in decimal code.
Calculation of the CRC-16 value.
The CRC value is calculated according to the CCITT definition. The CRC value is calculated over all record
bytes, starting with the record code, ending with CR+LF. The polynomial used is
16 12 5 0
x + x + x + x = 11021 (i.e. XOR mask 1021 ) and initial value FFFF .

NOTE 2 The value is written in ASCII characters in hexadecimal code with capitals (0.9,A.F).

Calculation of the CRC-32 value.
The CRC-32 value is calculated according to the CCITT definition. The CRC-32 value is calculated over all
record bytes, starting with the record code, ending with CR+LF. The polynomial used is
32 26 23 22 16 12 11 10 8 7 5 4 2
x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + 1
NOTE 3 The value is written in ASCII characters in hexadecimal code with capitals (0.9,A.F).
Sender without receiving options for handshaking.
For old vehicle/equipment “Data transmission handlers”, it may be impossible to receive data. In this case
the sender cannot respond to an ACK or NAK, i.e. there is no handshaking feature. Hence, the sender will
send a new message. This may cause in the result that data gets lost, e.g. in case the Board-computer was
not started up yet or if transmission failed. It is up to the user to handle this problem (for example to
connect power supply such that power-up is always at the same time for sender and transmitter).
Synchronization of communication.
To synchronize communication between sender and receiver, a message always starts with an SOH and
ends with an EOT. If the receiver is not synchronized yet but the sender is already transmitting a message
(e.g. when the Board-computer starts up while the spreader “Data transmission handler” is sending), all
data before the first SOH will be ignored. If the receiver is synchronized but detects an SOH before an
EOT, the previous, unfinished message is ignored.
Time synchronization between sender and receiver.
In general, the sender system time and the receiver system time are not equal. To synchronize messages
to the system clock of the receiver, a time synchronization record is introduced. This Time Sync record
(refer to 6.5.2) contains the actual system time of the sender at the start of record transmission (with a
maximum error of ± 0,5 s). The receiver shall record its system time at the moment of reception of a
message. In case of the reception of a Time Sync record, the receiver can calculate the difference between
its own system clock and the system clock of the sender. Now, the receiver can time-synchronize every
message received from the sender and thereby synchronize this data to other data generated by other
sources. The board computer shall contain a real time clock which runs even if the board computer has
no power. The electronic system on the vehicle/equipment shall have a real time clock which runs even
when this system has no power, or, a software clock shall be implemented which starts at date 1-1-2000
and time 00:00:00 and is updated every second.
A Time Sync record, is sent by the sender:
— as the first message starting the communication;
— after 10 s if the receiver does not respond to a message with an ACK or a NAK; after a successful
transmission of this record, the latest message before the time synchronization record is transmitted
again;
— if the system clock of the sender is adjusted, reset or set to any value which would cause a jump in
time.
Loss of data.
Data will get lost in case of:
— a “Data transmission handler” without handshaking feature which is sending while reliable
communication is not possible;
— an overflow of the buffer-memory;
— 2 unsuccessful retransmissions after a NAK.

oSIST prEN 15430-1:2023

In case the “Data transmission handler” supports handshaking, it is mandatory sending the header record
as the first record of a report (note: the Time Sync record is not part of the report). i.e. the header record
may not get lost.

6 Definitions of variables, records and report
6.1 General
A report is a file of records which in general is used to describe one ride. A report starts with a header
record, one or more status records of the vehicle/equipment(s) and a footer record. A record is a
structure of coherent variables in a predefined order. A member of a record is called a “field”.

Vehicle 2 On board vehicle electronic generating data
Snow plough or broom 3 It is assumed that if there is more than one snow-
plough, the data is generated by one source only.
Snow blower or cutter 4
Spreader or sprayer 5 Remark: this equipment could also generate the data
for example for a snow plough, however, the source
reference number stays 5 (as the spreader is the data
generator).

6.2 Data integrity check
There are at least two methods required to assure integrity:
a) Data have to be checked for manipulation of the contents themselves.
b) Data have to be checked for completeness: Data have to be checked against any deletion of any parts
of them.
In the present standard these two requirements lead to the following methods of covering:
— Data manipulation (a) is checked by CRC.
— Data deletion (b) is checked by including the previously calculated CRC value into the new CRC
value.
13

---------------------- Page: 15 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 15430-1:2023
prEN 15430-1:2023 (E)
In order to ensure data integrity two CRC variables (CRC_REC and CRC_STREAM) are defined for each
record and generated by the board computer. CRC_REC contains the CRC-32 value calculated over all the
data contents of the record itself and CRC_STREAM contains the CRC-32 value calculated over the
CRC_STREAM of the preceding record and the current CRC_REC value. CRC_REC and CRC_STREAM are
both optional and are not available in the Time synchronization record (record code 0), Standard
header record (record code 1) and Standard footer record (record code 2) (see 6.6).
6.3 Variable types
All variables defined, have to comply to one of the following variable types. The column “Format” shows
how a variable is represented in one or more examples. A point (.) is defined as a decimal separator. Data
ranges are defined in the same way as SAE J1939/71 defines them:
