Introduction
Whilst some location data are based on a latitude/longitude system or other coordinate systems, others
are based on the gazetteer reference to physical objects, e.g. bus stops, streets or bays in a car park.
Translations between different location referencing systems are, therefore, a key feature for moving data
between systems and between applications. Nearly all ITS applications need some form of location
determination and referencing to put the data or information into a spatial context.
In data terms, for most systems, we need to know values and where the data was collected. For example,
a loop detector is referenced to a particular point defined generally by a description of the road, the
direction, the lane and a stated distance from a known reference point like a junction. Data from a moving
probe vehicle will often be defined by XY coordinates based on an agreed location referencing systems
such as WGS84. Similarly, public transport information is often referenced to identified routes and stops
but historically, without the need to be concerned about where these routes and stops are in
geographically physical space.
Historically, applications in the transport sector have spawned location referencing systems that have
properties that suit the application itself; this silo approach has resulted in a significant number of
incompatible location referencing systems, often within the same organization. A typical road authority
can have 10 or more different location referencing systems for traffic control, pavement management,
detectors, asset management and content dissemination etc.; none of which are compatible or easily
translated from one to another because of different business rules or definitions. An example of this is
‘lanes’; is a long exit lane from a motorway counted as a running lane, and where does it start and end?
In public transport information services, location references – where they exist – can be both inconsistent
with location information on the infrastructure. For example, even where a bus stop is geo-located as a
point in space, this is often unmatched with the road along which the bus will be travelling. Also, there is
a logical divergence on whether the “stop” is the point where passengers are expected to stand or the
point where the vehicle will stand; whilst this distinction will generally be of no significance for end users
of itself, it makes multimodal information – for example, planning a walk-then-bus journey – difficult and
unreliable.
More generally, in the Urban-ITS context, multiple applications are required to cooperate. So, in a
multimodal environment, the disparity between location referencing systems becomes a major issue.
The only solution is to first identify the characteristics of location referencing that can be “application
independent” and then evolve (a) a conversion strategy for the short-term, and (b) a migration strategy
for the long term; with constant pressure on budgets, this represents a major challenge.
This document has been produced by the CEN/TC 278/WG 17 Project Team PT 1703 “Location
Referencing Harmonisation” under the mandate M/546 on urban ITS (U-ITS).
This document, in examples, mentions tools that can support transformation processes. It is noted that
reference to particular tool does not imply that it is the only or best tool for achieving a task, or that it is
currently available.
The audience for this document are those who need to combine data which use different location
referencing methods due to their different applications, modes or vendors.
The informative Clause 5 describes basics on transformations between location reference systems:
— The concept of transformation is presented in 5.2.
— Data quality in the context of transformations is discussed in 5.3.
The normative Clause 6 specifies transformation requirements and presents transformation examples.
Location referencing inside buildings is not considered in this document.

5 Basics on transformations between location reference systems
5.1 Location referencing
The concept of location referencing with location referencing methods (LRMs) and location referencing
systems (LRSs) is described in CEN/TR 17297-1.
5.2 The concept of a transformation
5.2.1 General
Several definitions exist for the term transformation, both in international standards and in other
literature. In this document, the term will be used for operations that are performed to change the
description of a location (a location reference) from one LRS to another LRS. The operation can be done
to change from a location reference in one LRS to another LRS, both based on the same LRM, or to change
between two LRSs based on different LRMs. The transformations that are described in this document are
valid for LRMs and will be employed to transform between LRSs.
The individual LRMs described in CEN/TR 17297-1 have different approaches for describing a location,
both in terms of how the location is described within an LRM, and also how the LRM is used to connect a
location reference to the real world, see Figure 1 in CEN/TR 17297-1:2019 and Figure 1 in this document.
As a result of a transformation between LRSs from two different LRMs is likely to change the location
reference significantly, including the representational shape and the positional accuracy of the location
reference.

references in different location referenc
