Winter and road service area maintenance equipments - Data acquisition and transmission - Part 2: Protocol for data transfer between information supplier server and client application server

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 EN 15430. The interface between the information supplier server and the client application server is defined as a specific protocol (flow 3) object of this 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.

Winterdienst- und Straßenbetriebsdienstausstattung - Teil 2: Protokoll für den Datentransfer zwischen dem Informationsanbieter-Server und dem Client Anwenderserver

Dieses Dokument enthält Festlegungen für die Funktion, jedes Fahrzeug-Anbaugerät mit unterschiedlichen Bordcomputern und mit jedem Client Applikationsserver zu kombinieren. Die Kommunikations-Schnittstelle am Fahrzeug wird in EN 15430-1 definiert. Die Schnittstelle zwischen dem Betriebsdatenserver (ISS) und dem Client Applikationsserver (CAS) wird als spezifisches Protokoll (flow 3) in diesem Dokument definiert. Dieses ermöglicht Austauschbarkeit auf beiden Seiten der Kommunikation ohne jede Einschränkung im Bereich der Kommunikationstechnologie einschließlich Memory card, WLAN, GPRS oder anderer Kommunikationsmittel.

Matériel de viabilité hivernale et d'entretien des dépendances routières - Partie 2: Protocole de transfert des données entre le serveur fournisseur d'information et les serveurs d'applications clients

La présente Norme a pour but de permettre la combinaison des données issues de différents ordinateurs de bord de matériel embarqués afin de les transmettre à un serveur d’applications client. L’interface de communication sur le véhicule est spécifiée dans la première partie de la Norme. L’interface entre le serveur fournisseur d’information et l’application client est définie par un protocole particulier (flux 3) qui constitue l’objet de la présente Norme. La présente Norme rend indépendante toutes les parties de la chaîne et facilite l’utilisation des différentes technologies de transmission d’informations telles que les cartes mémoires, le WLAN, le GPRS ou tout autre moyen de communication.

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.

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.

ARPANET). The notes discuss many aspects of computer communication, focusing on networking protocols,
procedures, programs, and concepts.

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.
