Overview

ISO 24311:2024 - Intelligent transport systems - Mobility integration - 'Controlled zone' management for urban vehicle access restrictions (UVARs) using C-ITS - specifies a standardized toolkit and data model for managing road traffic in Controlled Zones (CZ) using geofencing and C-ITS. The core of the standard is the Controlled Zone Data Dictionary (CZDD), which enables CZ managers and ITS systems to convey:

  • the CZ geographical boundaries (CZ area),
  • access conditions and exemptions,
  • time windows when restrictions apply.

The purpose is to allow potential CZ users (e.g., vehicles, navigation systems, fleet management) to perform pre‑trip planning or ad‑hoc re‑routing. The standard includes illustrations, guidelines, message definitions (including an ASN.1 module), and Local Dynamic Map (LDM) data object guidance. Enforcement mechanisms are explicitly out of scope.

Key Topics and Requirements

  • Controlled Zone Data Dictionary (CZDD): standardized data frames to describe CZ areas, access conditions, exemptions and time windows.
  • CZ Manager concept: roles and data flows for the entity that publishes CZ information.
  • Geofencing methodology: virtual geographic boundaries for CZ detection and triggers.
  • Access conditions & exemptions: structured representation of who, when and under what conditions access is permitted.
  • Routing paradigms and resultant behaviour: guidance for how IVS and routing systems should respond to CZ data (pre-trip and in-trip).
  • Message sets & transmission: two transmission approaches are identified - as part of a general TMS message set or via IVI messages (e.g., ETSI TS 103 301).
  • Security provisions: cybersecurity can be provided by conforming to ISO 21177 for secure sessions and authentication.
  • Technical annexes: ASN.1 module (Annex A), service announcement example (Annex B), and LDM data objects (Annex C).

Practical Applications and Who Uses It

ISO 24311:2024 is intended for stakeholders involved in urban mobility and C-ITS deployment, including:

  • City transport authorities and CZ managers - to publish interoperable CZ definitions and rules.
  • Navigation and fleet providers - to implement pre‑trip planning and dynamic rerouting that respects UVARs.
  • In‑vehicle system (IVS) and ITS integrators - to consume CZDD data and integrate with the Local Dynamic Map.
  • C‑ITS application developers and system architects - to build interoperable message handlers and service announcements.
  • Regulators and policy makers - to standardize UVAR communications while leaving enforcement to local regimes.

Use cases include dynamic traveler information, route planning to avoid restricted zones, managing time‑based access rules, and communicating exemptions to authorized vehicles.

Related Standards

  • ISO 21217 (ITS station architecture)
  • ISO 18750 (Local Dynamic Map)

Introduction
This document is part of a set of standards from ISO/TC 204 related to ITS Mobility Integration/Urban ITS
(U-ITS). It provides an internationalized, version of CEN/TS 17380 for management of vehicles in a “Controlled
Zone” (CZ). It is primarily designed for urban vehicle access restrictions (although it is also appropriate for
similar restriction control in any road system context). Its technical provisions are interoperable with CEN/
TS 17380. This document aims to complement CEN/TS 16157-11.
A CZ is a geographically contained physical area for which access restriction conditions are applicable for all
or some categories of vehicle or user, at all or specified times.
Management of traffic in a CZ is important for the following reasons, amongst others.
— As cities and urban complexes expand, and the significant trend of movement from rural areas to cities
continues around the world, pollution and congestion in these urban areas is becoming an increasingly
significant problem. Traffic, i.e. vehicle movements within the urban complex, is a source of pollution.
NOTE Other causes of pollution include air conditioning, central heating systems, coal and wood burning
heating, factories, etc.
— Jurisdictions can wish to control certain issues, such as movement of vehicles in cities producing traffic
congestion and overcrowding on public transport at peak periods, as this can enable better management
of traffic flow.
A CZ, also referred to as an “Urban Vehicle Access Restriction” (UVAR) zone, is a zone of enactment of
one or more traffic restrictions to adhere to a permanent or temporary regulation applicable in a defined
geographical area. These restrictions are frequently referred to as “Urban Vehicle Access Regulations”.
It is recognized that different jurisdictions will design and introduce their own CZ paradigms of different
method and construct. However, regardless of the goal to be achieved or the political objective, the basic
technical requirements for managing road traffic in a CZ are similar, and the basic methodologies are the same.
The methodology specified in this document is often referred to as “geofencing”, i.e. the creation of a virtual
geographic boundary.
Management of CZs can be achieved using data frames from the data dictionary (CZDD) specified in this
document, and data frames contained in the in-vehicle information (IVI) data dictionary specified in
ISO/TS 19321. Data frames specified in this document and in ISO/TS 19321 constitute Application Data Units.
While the CZDD is dedicated to CZs, the IVI data dictionary is of a general nature. There is no strict one-to-
one mapping between the CZDD data frames and the data frames from the IVI data dictionary related to CZ.
This document identifies two possible methods for transmitting CZ data frames:
1) a method based on the general CZ message being part of the general TMS message set (see the concept
of ITS messages and ITS message sets specified in ISO 17419, which does not require a specific
communications technology);
2) the IVI message method, which is specified in ETSI TS 103 301.

1 Scope
This document provides information and specifications on the management of road traffic in controlled
zones (CZ) through the application of geofencing. Specifically, this document specifies a “Controlled Zone
Data Dictionary” (CZDD) for management of controlled zones, and provides an extendible toolkit that
regulators can use, for example, to inform potential CZ users (e.g. vehicles) about:
— the CZ area, i.e. the geographical boundaries of the CZ;
— CZ access conditions including exemptions;
— time windows indicating when these CZ access conditions are applicable.
This allows potential CZ users to select an appropriate routing, either by pre-trip planning or ad hoc re-
routing.
This document also provides illustrations and guidelines on how to use this toolkit.
The toolkit is designed in accordance with the general ITS station and communications architecture
specified in ISO 21217, and with optionally applicable C-ITS protocols and procedures, e.g. ISO 22418 on
“Service Announcement”, ISO 18750 on the “Local Dynamic Map”, and ISO 17419 on globally unique
identifiers. Cybersecurity provision can be provided through conformance to ISO 21177.
Enforcement is out of scope of this document.

5 Management of controlled zones
5.1 General
Central management of traffic flows in a “Controlled Zone” (CZ) is complex, and to date has proven difficult.
Technically, it may involve downloading data to an “In-Vehicle System” (IVS), for example, an ITS station unit
(ITS-SU; as specified in ISO 21217) or a navigation device. Alternatively, it may be undertaken by control of
traffic signals (for example in a ferry: boarding and customs-controlled zone). It may also be a combination

of these. Real world implementation widely uses traffic control devices such as road traffic signs and road
markings to identify controlled zones.
Controlling access to urban zones, i.e. applying respective access restrictions, is also referred to as “Urban
Vehicle Access Restriction” (UVAR).
5.2 CZ manager
In order to identify a CZ and to achieve control of it, an authority, i.e. an entity or body or person, has to
manage the CZ. Within this document, that role is called the “Controlled Zone Manager”. In administrative
terms, there are many ways this can be instantiated. This is a matter of local policy, and not determined in
this document.
Every CZ created by a CZ manager shall be globally uniquely identified by a CZ identifier. This document
specifies the CZ identifier as a universal object identifier (OID). The IVI data dictionary specified in
ISO/TS 19321 uses a Service Provider ID for this purpose; this Service Provider ID is specified in ISO 14816.
NOTE 1 A service provider identified by a Service Provider ID can also have an OID.
NOTE 2 Organizations acting as a CZ manager identified by an OID are responsible for creating subsequent branches
of the organization themselves (for example, branches which are used for CZ purposes). This enables the creation of
globally unique CZ identifiers without the need for creating a respective registration authority.
The CZ manager is in charge of disseminating information on the existence of its CZs and the related CZ access
conditions, such that potential road users are informed in due time about restrictions to access CZ areas.
5.3 Controlled zone
A CZ is defined as a physical location which has restricted access defined by CZ access conditions (see 5.4)
and optional CZ exemptions (see 5.5), including information on timely validity. The location of a CZ, i.e. the
CZ area, may be defined quite differently, for example:
— as a linear location, e.g. a street identified by the street name;
— as a contiguous two-dimensional area, optionally with “holes”;
— as a contiguous three-dimensional space, optionally with “holes”;
— as a set of non-overlapping contiguous locations / areas / spaces with or without “holes”;
— as one or several identified streets or segments thereof;
— as a complete city;
— as any other reasonable definition.
However, once the definition of a CZ area changes, the previously valid CZ identifier shall become invalid,
and a new CZ identifier shall be assigned.
The boundary of a CZ shall be designed such that it is outside of the CZ area.
If the boundary is given by a closed polygon, the inner area of the polygon, i.e. the area of the CZ, shall be
defined by the vertices of the polygon in ascending order such that the inner area is to the right of the edges
of the polygon.
NOTE 1 A closed polygon is a plane figure that is described by a finite number N of straight-line segments connected
to form a closed polygonal chain. The segments of a polygonal circuit are called its edges. The points where two edges
meet are the polygon's vertices. The vertice given by the start point of the first segment is identical with the vertice
given by the end point of the last (N-th) segment. A closed polygon defines two areas, i.e. an inner area and an outer area.
NOTE 2 The examples used in this document are provided as examples of how CZs can be applied and do not
represent accurate representations of current regulations in place at the time of the publication of this document.

EXAMPLE The centre of the city of Ulm in Germany is surrounded by streets and segments of streets, see Figure 1.
The boundary of the CZ “centre of the city of Ulm” is given by (1) Bahnhofsplatz, (2) segment of Olgastrasse between
Bahnhofsplatz and Salzstadelgasse, (3) segment of Salzstadelgasse between Olgastrasse and car park “Salzstadel”,
(4) segment of Olgastrasse between Salzstadelgasse and Frauenstrasse, (5) segment of Frauenstrasse between
Olgastrasse and Neue Strasse, (6) segment of Neue Strasse between Frauenstrasse and Friedrich-EbertStrasse, (7)
segment of Friedrich-Ebert-Strasse between Neue Strasse and Bahnhofsplatz. CZ users, regardless of the given CZ
access conditions, are allowed to use these streets that define the CZ boundary. This enables access to the car parks
located at the boundary of this CZ, e.g. from “Olgastraße” following “Salzstadelgasse” up to “Museum der Brotkultur”,
below which the car park “Salzstadel” is located.
Figure 1 — Example of CZ “centre of the city of Ulm”
CZs may be:
— located adjacent to each other,
— overlapping with other CZs for other control purposes; thus, multiple CZs can exist in the same physical
geographical location.
Exemptions can be applicable for explicitly identified CZ users or CZ user groups, i.e. for preferred CZ users
(see 5.5).
Figure 2 provides an example of three different and overlapping CZs in a city.

Key
1 diesel engine control zone
2 zero emissions zone
3 3,5 metre height / 7,5 tonne weight limit zone
Figure 2 — Co-located control zones
Figure 2 shows a geographical area with three CZs.
— The first, and largest, in this example, is a “diesel engine control zone”, where there is a ban on the use of
diesels prior to Euro Class 5, and time-of-day limitations on the use of any diesel.
— The second CZ is a “vehicle size-controlled zone” that covers an area both inside and outside of the “diesel
engine control zone” (but not all of the “diesel engine control zone”) and prohibits both tall and heavy or
wide vehicle traffic because of narrow roads and low bridges.
— The third CZ is a “zero tailpipe emission zone” in the historic city centre and its main shopping street. It is
located entirely within the two other CZs and controls on the single parameter of zero tailpipe emissions.
In this example, the “diesel engine control zone” covers multiple factors in respect of diesel vehicles. The
“vehicle size-controlled zone” covers height, weight, and width restriction in a common zone that is partly
within and partly outside the “diesel engine control zone” (overlapping CZs). In case of overlapping CZs,
within an overlap area the access restrictions of all overlapping CZs shall apply.
The CZ user thus has to evaluate up to three sets of CZ access conditions (see 5.3) for up to three CZs. The
result will be the granted access conditions.
This document does not impose any design requirements on CZ managers. Thus, CZ managers have the free
choice on how to define CZs and the related CZ access conditions, e.g. whether they define a new CZ per CZ
access condition, or whether they define several CZ access conditions per CZ, if applicable. With reference to
the example in Figure 2, instead of defining three overlapping CZs, the CZ manager can also specify four CZs:
1) diesel engine CZ access condition (black-only);
2) height and weight CZ access condition (blue-only);

3) diesel engine and height and weight CZ access conditions (only black and blue);
4) diesel engine and height and weight and zero emissions CZ access conditions (black, blue and red).
NOTE 3 It is assumed that calculating the presence in a CZ is more time-consuming than evaluating several CZ
access conditions.
5.4 CZ access conditions
Identification of CZ access conditions is, at its simplest core, a binary option of “allowed” or “prohibited”.
However, a more complex approach is favourable, indicating one or several reasons why access to a CZ is
restricted. This approach enables conditional access to a CZ, dependent on the CZ access conditions and the
properties of a CZ user. CZ access conditions include the following.
— “allowed”: this indicates that there are currently no access conditions applicable for the given CZ.
— “prohibited”: this indicates that currently the access to the CZ is prohibited in general without mentioning
a specific reason.
— “prohibited for CZ users (vehicles) with given properties”: this shall be used to indicate one or several
conditions under which operation in a CZ is prohibited. The CZ user may only operate inside the CZ if all
presented conditions result in a final “access is allowed,” or if appropriate exemptions are given.
— “unknown”: this is not an operational CZ access condition to be presented by the CZ manager to CZ users.
It complements the operational access conditions and can be useful in software for different purposes.
EXAMPLE 1 The CZ access condition “prohibited for CZ users (vehicles) with given properties” can contain a
restriction related to emissions of a vehicle and a restriction for vehicles with a total weight exceeding a defined limit.
Operation in the CZ is thus only allowed if neither the emissions of the CZ user are above the given limit, nor the total
weight of the CZ user exceeds the given limit.
EXAMPLE 2 Powertrain management is a special case of air quality management. In the case of hybrid vehicles, the
CZ manager or the CZ regulation can set up a CZ access condition that hybrid vehicles can enter and operate within the
CZ, but only in a tail-pipe emission free mode (i.e. electric).
EXAMPLE 3 A CZ can be generally closed due to an event.
NOTE 1 It is possible that further access conditions will be defined in a revision of this document.
If CZ access conditions indicate access restrictions for a specific CZ user or CZ user group, access to the CZ
may be granted on the basis of explicit CZ exemptions (see 5.5). Every CZ access condition presented by a
CZ manager shall thus also contain information on whether CZ exemptions are applicable for a specific CZ
access condition.
EXAMPLE 4 A CZ defined for a public festivity can be closed for all kinds of CZ users with the exemption of public
transport, suppliers' registered vehicles, ambulances, fire brigade and police vehicles.
CZ access conditions shall be made available to potential CZ users (e.g. vehicles or their operators) by CZ
managers, thereby providing the CZ users with a respective routing decision (see 5.6). This involves
communication (e.g. either for pre-trip planning using the Internet, or for real-time routing using wireless
communications between central stations or roadside furniture and mobile stations such as ITS-SUs or
navigation devices) or observation of message signs by vehicle operators.
A change of CZ access conditions shall not invalidate the respective CZ identifier. However, the time of an
update of access conditions shall be reported (see 7.2), such that a receiver of this information can distinguish
between a previous reception of information on this CZ and a subsequent update of this information.
A certain complexity can lie in the evaluation of CZ access conditions presented by CZ managers to the
potential CZ users and the decision process that determines the finally applicable granted access conditions
(“allowed” / “prohibited”) for a specific geographic location, which can also include real-time measurements
of parameters of a vehicle, e.g. parameters related to the emissions of a vehicle's engine. This process may

require evaluation of several sets of CZ access conditions received from one or several CZ managers for
different CZs.
NOTE 2 How such an evaluation and decision process is to be implemented is out of scope of this document.
5.5 CZ exemptions
The term “exemption” is used in this document for two slightly different circumstances, both resulting in
the fact that a CZ user may operate in a CZ although basically applicable access restrictions are defined by
means of the CZ access conditions. These two circumstances are described as follows.
a) The properties of a CZ user do not violate the CZ access conditions, i.e. no access restrictions apply. This
is an “implicit exemption”.
b) The properties of a CZ user indicate a conflict with the CZ access conditions, but an exemption is granted
by the CZ manager for a given CZ access condition. This is an “explicit exemption”. Such CZ users are
referred to as “preferred CZ users”.
Explicit exemptions may be applicable for any CZ user, or may be granted to individual CZ users or CZ user
groups. Examples of possible explicit exemptions are:
— “allowed to leave the CZ”;
— “allowance is subject to a fee”;
— “allowed to be in the CZ for a maximum time starting from the time when entering the CZ”;
Possible explicit exemptions applicable for specific CZ user groups are:
— “allowed for vehicles of special type or with special characteristics”, e.g.
— police,
— ambulance,
— fire brigade,
— military,
— vehicles with even licence plate number.
Possible explicit exemptions applicable for specific CZ users are:
— “allowed for users (vehicles) with a registered exemption”, e.g.
— resident of a CZ,
— disabled driver.
Explicit exemptions may be stored in an IVS in a secure way, or certified by means of a written document.
Preferred CZ users shall be allowed on any route within the CZ regardless of any CZ access condition other
than those limiting the physical capabilities of a route, e.g. weight, height, width or exceptional conditions
(that are not specified in this document).
