Overview

FprEN 15430-2 is a European standard published by CEN that addresses the protocol for data transfer between information supplier servers (ISS) and client application servers (CAS) in the domain of winter and road service area maintenance equipment. This standard enables interoperability between various vehicle equipment, board computers, and client software, facilitating seamless communication and data exchange for road maintenance operations.

The standard defines a common communication protocol and data format, independent of communication media such as memory cards, WLAN, GPRS, or any other technology. It complements Part 1 of EN 15430, which specifies the interface on vehicles between equipment and board computers.

Key Topics

Interoperability and Communication Protocol

  • Enables integration of different vendors’ on-vehicle equipment (e.g., spreaders, ploughs).
  • Supports multiple board computers and client application software (e.g., databases, analytics).
  • Specifies Flow 3 protocol for data exchange between ISS and CAS, ensuring flexibility in communication technology use.
  • Defines a flexible XML-based data structure for transferring records, promoting standardization.

Data Structure and Time Synchronization

  • Data records follow definitions established in EN 15430-1 and contain information such as:
    • Board computer time and date.
    • Geolocation data (latitude, longitude, altitude).
    • Equipment and manufacturer identifiers.
  • Time synchronization responsibility lies with the client application server, ensuring temporal consistency between board computers and servers.

Data Transfer and Server Interfaces

  • Communication is based on HTTP/HTTPS requests supporting authentication via username and password.
  • Supports querying ISS status, including an ISS alive request to verify server availability.
  • Data files received conform to specified XML schemas with standardized naming conventions:
    • Format: <ISS_ID>_<LocalDate>_<LocalTime>_<FileCounter>.xml
    • This naming facilitates easy file management and tracking.

On-Board and Server Roles

  • Board computers act as data acquisition systems:
    • Receive, merge, and time-stamp data from various vehicle sensors and equipment.
    • Support both online (real-time within 60 seconds) and offline data storage.
  • Information Supplier Server manages storage and distribution of data from board computers to client applications.
  • Client Application Servers retrieve data from ISS for reporting, analysis, or operational management.

Applications

  • Winter road maintenance management: Leveraging standardized data acquisition from vehicles to monitor plough operation, salt spreading, and other critical activities.
  • Fleet management systems: Integrating multiple types of road service vehicles using unified data protocols to track status and performance.
  • Data analytics and reporting: Facilitates real-time and historical operational data access to improve maintenance strategies and resource allocation.
  • Remote monitoring: Utilizing various communication technologies (WLAN, GPRS, memory cards) for flexible data transmission from mobile field equipment.
  • Software and hardware interoperability: Enables different manufacturers’ products to work together without custom integration complexities.

Related Standards

  • EN 15430-1: Specifies the communication interface on vehicles between winter maintenance equipment and board computers.
  • ISO 8859-1: Character encoding standard referenced for data encoding consistency.
  • Various RFCs: Network protocols such as FTP and HTTP for ensuring correct data communication methods.
  • NMEA-0183: Format standards used for geographic data embedded within XML messages.

1 Introduction
This document must be considered as the second part of the standard for data acquisition and transmission in the
field of municipal vehicles. The goal of the standard is to allow interoperability between systems (hardware and
software) of different vendors. A customer should be able to combine any:
• on-vehicle equipment (e. g. spreaders and ploughs)
• on-vehicle data acquisition systems (e. g. board computers or enhanced control boxes)
• client application software (e. g. data bases, analyzing or accounting software)
as long as they follow this standard.
The first part of the standard, as described in document EN15430-1, defines the on-board communication (flow 1)
between on-vehicle equipment (data handler) and on-vehicle data acquisition systems (board computer). This
document is meant to describe the data structure, types, ranges, protocol and initial settings required by the
information supplier server (ISS) and client application server (CAS) including synchronized combining of the
various data sources.
Figure1 represents the whole data flow chain from vehicle to office system.

Figure 1: Transmission flow
The present standard doesn’t define any specific rules for items like:
• optional compression, encryption and authentication of the data during data transfer (flow 2).
• data transmission between on-vehicle data acquisition system and information supplier server ( flow 2).
Data transfer between on-vehicle data acquisition systems and the information supplier server has to be lossless.
Section 1 defines the interface between devices and board computer, as described in EN15430-1.
Section 2 addresses the combination of data from different streams and the transmission to a generic information
supplier server.
prEN 15430-2:2008 (E)
Section 3 addresses the data transfer (Flow 3 ) between the information supplier server (ISS) and client application
server (CAS) and it is the purpose of this document.
2 Scope
The function of the standard is to combine any vehicle equipment with different board computers to any client
application server. The communication interface on vehicle is defined by part 1 of the standard. The interface
between the information supplier server and the client application server is defined as a specific protocol (flow 3)
object of the present document. This makes interchangeability possible on both sides of the communication without
any restriction in the range of communication technology including memory card, WLAN, GPRS or any other
communication media.

5 Tasks of the board computer
5.1 Classification
In EN15430-1 a data acquisition system like a board computer has been presented as black-box with implemented
at least the following main features:
• Receive data from a generic vehicle/equipment data transmission handler (e.g. through RS232 serial interface)
• Store any incoming information in reports.
• Generate one time stamp for every data message.
According to the time gap between record time stamp and ISS time stamp one board computer can be classified
as follows:
1. On-line devices: devices where the time gap between generation at the board computer and acquisition by the
ISS is within 60 seconds. ( e.g: radio, GPRS, UMTS). The ISS has to provide an on-line status information to
the CAS for every connected device.
2. Off-line device: devices where the time gap between generation at the board computer and acquisition by the
ISS is 60 seconds or more.
Every board computer has to ensure 24 hours of non volatile data storage.
5.2 Data receiving and merging
The board computer receives data from one or more device handlers. In addition, it can generate records, e. g. by
receiving GPS data, evaluating sensors or converting non-standard data sources. (described in part 1 of the
standard). Then, the board computer merges the data flow from different devices into one data stream without
applying and modification to the records (record code >= 1). All records should remain in the same order in which
they were generated. The order of records coming from different sources is free. The delay probably introduced by
the data transmission handler can be ignored.
5.3 Time information handling
Time information received from board computers are stored on the ISS without any modification. The ISS has to
add its local time information to the data files.
