Overview
EN 13372:2004 - Road Transport and Traffic Telematics (RTTT) - Dedicated Short‑Range Communication (DSRC) - Profiles for RTTT applications is a CEN European Standard that defines DSRC profiles: coherent, cross‑layer sets of communication parameters and functionality for DSRC-based road transport services. The standard specifies how to select compatible subsets of the three-layer DSRC architecture (Physical, Data Link, Application) so roadside units (RSUs) and on‑board units (OBUs) can reliably negotiate and run interactive (two‑way) or broadcast (one‑way) services.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Profile concept: A DSRC profile is a unique identifier (ASN.1 “Profile”) that bundles parameter choices and functionality across layers so devices know which modes to use.
- Physical layer parameter sets: Defines alternative values and two main sets (L1‑A and L1‑B). Examples include:
- Sub‑carrier frequencies (U1): 1.5 MHz and 2.0 MHz (OBUs shall support both; profile indicates selection).
- Power limits (D11a): alternatives −17 dBm or −24 dBm depending on set.
- Spectrum masks and E.I.R.P. variants for RSU/OBU transmitters.
- Data Link Layer subsets: Specifies which medium access control (MAC) and logical link control (LLC) services are included in a profile (acknowledged/unacknowledged commands, windowing).
- Application Layer subsets: Defines application primitives and service tables (Beacon Service Table - BST, Vehicle Service Table - VST) used to advertise supported profiles and services.
- Procedures: Standardised procedures for initialisation, late responses, and termination of DSRC communication sessions between RSU and OBU.
- Interlayer management: Rules to ensure coherent parameter combinations across Physical, Data Link and Application layers.
Practical applications
EN 13372 is intended for DSRC-based ITS services where short-range, low‑latency communications are required. Typical applications include:
- Electronic Fee Collection (EFC) and tolling interfaces
- Parking access control and gate systems
- Traffic signal priority for emergency or public transport vehicles
- Roadside information and beacon services (broadcast alerts)
- Fleet management and vehicle‑to‑infrastructure (V2I) interactions
Who should use this standard
- ITS system architects and planners
- RSU and OBU hardware manufacturers
- Toll operators, parking system integrators and traffic authorities
- Procurement teams specifying interoperable DSRC equipment
- Test labs verifying DSRC profile conformance
