Intelligent transport systems - After-theft systems for the recovery of stolen vehicles - Part 4: Interface and system requirements in terms of long range communication system

This European Standard specifies the characteristics required to operate the Long Range ATSVR Architecture.
An ATSVR consists of various elements that communicate and interact through a range of interfaces in accordance with standard procedures and protocols in order to facilitate the recovery of stolen vehicles. These processes may involve a human operator.
ATSVR elements include an OBE installed in the vehicles, a range of Detecting Equipment and one or more System Operating Centres. One or more supporting Infrastructure Networks provide communications to support the ATSVR. The ATSVR location function may also include one or more supporting Position Reference Sources.
The LR systems use an interface that allows the Detection Equipment to operate some ATSVR Functions at distances greater than the direct line of sight. These LR systems are generally operated with ATSVR Location Functions using long-range communications.
This European Standard permits existing proprietary systems to operate using these interface specifications at ATSVR application level.
The main subject areas are:
a)   definition of classes and categories;
b)   interoperability and compatibility of systems at:
1)   functional level;
2)   information level;
3)   performance level;
c)   identification of communications supporting infrastructures;
d)   specification of compatible interfaces for ATSVR applications;
e)   restriction of specifications to:
1)   application level;
2)   operating level;
3)   user level.

Inteligentni transportni sistemi - Sistemi za odkrivanje ukradenih vozil - 4. del: Vmesnik in zahteve za potrebe sistema za komunikacijo dolgega dosega

Ta evropski standard določa značilnosti, zahtevane za upravljanje arhitekture ATSVR za komunikacijo dolgega dosega. ATSVR sestavljajo različni elementi, ki si posredujejo podatke in medsebojno vplivajo prek različnih vmesnikov v skladu s standardnimi postopki in protokoli, ki olajšujejo odkrivanje ukradenih vozil. Ti postopki morda vključujejo človeškega izvajalca. Elementi ATSVR vključujejo OBE, ki je vgrajen v vozila, vrsto opreme za detekcijo in enega ali več centrov za upravljanje sistema. Eno ali več podpornih infrastrukturnih omrežij zagotavlja komunikacijo za podporo ATSVR. Funkcija položaja ATSVR lahko vključuje tudi enega ali več podpornih referenčnih virov o položaju. Sistemi LR uporabljajo vmesnik, ki omogoča, da oprema za detekcijo uporablja nekatere funkcije ATSVR na razdaljah, ki so večje od neposredne linije pogleda vozil. Te sisteme LR se običajno upravlja s funkcijami položaja ATSVR z uporabo komunikacije dolgega dosega. Ta evropski standard obstoječim lastniškim sistemom dovoljuje, da delujejo z uporabo teh specifikacij vmesnikov na ravni naprav ATSVR. Glavna tematska področja so: a) določanje razredov in kategorij; b) interoperabilnost in združljivost sistemov na: 1) funkcionalni ravni; 2) informacijski ravni; 3) ravni delovanja; c) identifikacija infrastruktur za podporo komunikacijam; d) določanje združljivih vmesnikov za naprave ATSVR; e) omejitev specifikacij na: 1) raven naprav; 2) raven delovanja; 3) raven uporabnikov.

An LR ATSVR consists of various equipment elements that communicate and interact through communication network interfaces in accordance with standard procedures and protocols to facilitate the recovery of a stolen vehicle. These processes may involve a human operator. ATSVR elements include an OBE installed in the vehicle, a range of Detecting Equipment and one or more SOC’s. One or more supporting communications network interfaces facilitates the interactions that support the various ATSVR functions. The ATSVR location function may also include one or more supporting Position Reference Sources.
5.2 The LR ATSVR Process The process begins with the theft of the vehicle. Following theft or suspected theft, the first possible function is to indicate that the theft has occurred. Following this, the status of the target vehicle, i.e., whether the target vehicle has been stolen or not, shall be confirmed by the user or by other appropriate personnel; this status shall then be acknowledged by an LEA. This then becomes a Registered Stolen Vehicle. The vehicle should then be located by the ATSVR, and if moving, tracked or homed onto by the system in order to facilitate LEA or ATSVR service personnel to close range with the target vehicle. By closing range with the target vehicle, they will more easily be able to recognise the vehicle. Once recognised, the target vehicle shall be accurately discriminated as the target vehicle from other surrounding vehicles. This process facilitates the selection of the target vehicle for closer examination by LEA or ATSVR personnel in order to confirm the identity of the target vehicle as the stolen vehicle. The process of establishing identity may require an additional query and response through ATSVR databases. This process can, under controlled circumstances, be assisted by the degradation of the capabilities of the target vehicle. SIST EN 15213-4:2013

5.3.1 General There are three basic ATSVR functions: a) Detection of a Registered Stolen Vehicle; b) Location of a Registered Stolen Vehicle; c) Identification of a Registered Stolen Vehicle. 5.3.2 LR Detection Function This function provides the automatic or semi-automatic detection of the location of a Registered Stolen Vehicle. This may be done by Signaling or by Consulting. Detection by Signaling is when the OBE has been activated by a signal from an external source. This activation may come from a mobile or stationary source, which may be local to the vehicle (Short Range) or at a distance from the vehicle (Long Range). Once activated, the OBE transmits a signal that can be picked up by ATSVR Detection Equipment located either locally or at a distance from the vehicle. The transmitted signal may contain other relevant information. Detection by Consulting is when an external item of DE interrogates the OBE and the OBE responds by transmitting data to the DE. The DE then compares the received data with a database of Registered Stolen Vehicles; a data match confirms that a Registered Stolen vehicle is present and further action can take place. 5.3.3 LR Location Function Once the Registered Stolen vehicle has been detected the location can be established by one of the following functions:  location by using direct geographic co-ordinates;  location by using indirect geographical co-ordinates;
 location by using homing techniques. Location by direct or indirect geographic co-ordinates is the process that establishes the general or precise location of the vehicle at a given point in time. This allows entitled persons to carry out their defined tasks. Homing (also known as Tracing or Relative Positioning) is the process that periodically updates the range and direction of the detected vehicle from an intercepting vehicle over a period o
