Intelligent transport systems — Data interfaces between centres for transport information and control systems — Platform independent model specifications for data exchange protocols for transport information and control systems
This document defines and specifies component facets supporting the exchange and shared use of data and information in the field of traffic and travel. The component facets include the framework and context for exchanges, the data content, structure and relationships necessary and the communications specification, in such a way that they are independent from any defined technical platform. This document establishes specifications for data exchange between any two instances of the following actors: — Traffic Information Centres (TIC); — Traffic Control Centres/Traffic Management Centres (TCC/TMC); — Service Providers (SP). This document can be applied for use by other actors, e.g. car park operators. This document includes the following types of information: — the use cases and associated requirements, and features relative to different exchange situations; — the different functional exchange profiles; — the abstract elements for protocols; — the data model for exchange (informational structures, relationships, roles, attributes and associated data types required). In order to set up a new technical exchange framework, it is necessary to associate one functional exchange profile with a technical platform providing an interoperability domain where plug-and-play interoperability at technical level can be expected. The definition of such interoperability domains is not part of this document but can be found in other standards or technical specifications, e.g. ISO 14827‑3. This document is restricted to data exchange. Definition of payload content models is beyond the scope of this document.

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.

Introduction
This document defines a common set of data exchange specifications to support the vision of a seamless
interoperable exchange of traffic and travel information across boundaries, including national, urban,
interurban, road administrations, infrastructure providers and service providers. Standardisation in
this context is a vital constituent to ensure interoperability, reduction of risk, reduction of the cost
base, promotion of open marketplaces and many social, economic and community benefits to be gained
from more informed travellers, network managers and transport operators.
Especially in Europe, delivering transport policy in line with the White Paper issued by the European
Commission requires co-ordination of traffic management and development of seamless pan European
services. With the aim to support sustainable mobility in Europe, the European Commission has been
supporting the development of information exchange mainly between the actors of the road traffic
management domain for a number of years.
This document supports a methodology that is extensible.
To be able to successfully connect systems and start exchanging data, in an interoperable and easy
way, there is a need to describe and agree on how the exchange should be done. This is set out in a data
exchange specification. Data exchange in different scenarios can have different needs and requirements.
Therefore, several data exchange specifications can be needed.
Data exchange specifications need to address two main issues. First, they model the stakeholders
and actors involved in data exchange, each potentially in different roles, as well as abstract exchange
patterns for their interactions. Second, they select a suitable implementation platform and clearly
specify how the abstract scenarios and patterns are effectively implemented on this platform.
The following diagram in Figure 1 shows such an abstract communication scenario from the perspective
of a road operator who requires data exchange interfaces between the different components of its own
operational systems, either between centre side components or between centre and field devices, but
also to exchange information with other road operators or service providers.
Figure 1 — Abstract communication scenario
While the black links between centre side components and field devices may use a variety of
communication protocols, mostly depending on the physical link conditions, the vast majority

of other coloured links between centre-side components, internal to one organisation or external
to others, is based on an IP network and mostly use the TCP transport layer protocol (UDP is also
possible in a few cases).
Nevertheless, as the different colours indicate, they can very well have significantly different
requirements. Internal links (blue) can reside in one domain of trust, hence do not require protocols
compatible with security gateways. This can already be different for links to other road operators
(red) and will certainly not hold for links to other types of organisations, like service providers, via the
Internet (green).
While different security requirements offer the most striking and obvious example, there are more
criteria that can lead to different preferences on different types of links, e.g. scalability, robustness,
integration complexity.
In broad terms, the colours blue – red – green form a hierarchy from more internal, closely-coupled,
well-integrated systems towards external, loosely-coupled, and non-integrated systems. The
world of information and communication technology (ICT) offers a broad range of solutions for these
different scenarios, offering different advantages and disadvantages. It is obvious that the one-size-
fits-all principle will not provide the most efficient way of working here. Even on the highest level of
abstraction and inside the ICT domain itself, we already find a well-known battle of paradigms between
remote-procedure-call (RPC) type service specifications and RESTful architectures. The same clusters
of options are found in the domain of ITS standards, where for example the European standard for
the real-time information interface relating to public transport operations (SIRI – EN 15531 series)
introduces both concepts as complementary options: Publish-Subscribe and Request-Response.
As well, the ITS station architecture is not in contradiction with this document but is complementary
of what is defined in this document. According to the principles and the taxonomy defined in ISO 21217,
this document defines a conceptual notion of:
— How 2 central ITS (sub) stations could communicate to:
— deliver (application data units) information,
— negotiate functional service behaviour for collaborating traffic management functions (even if
this use case could not directly be matched to ISO 21217 as it is not about information delivery).
— How a Central ITS (sub) station could communicate to deliver information (application data units) to
another ITS station with the characteristics of a central ITS station.
This document specifies the process of defining the exchange characteristics by use case-driven feature
selection of relevant parameters for the relevant OSI layers as defined in ISO 21217.
