ISO/TS 14907-1:2015

Electronic fee collection — Test procedures for user and fixed equipment — Part 1: Description of test procedures

ISO/TS 14907-1:2015 specifies the test procedures of EFC roadside equipment (RSE) and on-board equipment (OBE) with regard to the conformance to standards and requirements for type approval and acceptance testing which is within the realm of EFC application specifically. ISO/TS 14907-1:2015 is restricted to systems operating within the radio emission, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) regulations, traffic, and other regulations of the countries in which they are operated. ISO/TS 14907-1:2015 identifies a set of suitable parameters and provides test procedures to enable the proof of a complete EFC system, as well as components of an EFC system, e.g. OBE, related to the defined requirements of an application. The defined parameter and tests are assigned to the following groups of parameters: ? functionality; ? quality; ? referenced pre-tests. An overview of the tests and parameters provided by this part of ISO/TS 14907 is given in 5.1 and 5.2. ISO/TS 14907-1:2015 describes procedures, methods and tools, and a test plan which shows the relation between all tests and the sequence of these tests. It lists all tests that are required to measure the performance of EFC equipment. It describes which EFC equipment is covered by the test procedures; the values of the parameters to be tested are not included. It also describes how the tests are to be performed and which tools and prerequisites are necessary before this series of tests can be undertaken. It is assumed that the security of the system is inherent in the communications and EFC functionality tests, therefore they are not addressed here. All tests in this part of ISO/TS 14907 provide instructions to evaluate the test results.

Introduction
For an electronic fee collection (EFC) system, approvals and tests are required to determine whether the
system (or individual components of the system) conforms to standards and application requirements
and to enable parameters such as quality, availability, and maintainability to be measured.
There are complete EFC systems available, including documentation and approvals, and these could
already be in operation in some European countries. This part of ISO/TS 14907 provides a toolbox
of tests and procedures for the assessment and proof of such EFC systems that they are suitable for
specified EFC applications under specific operational conditions. Dependent on a system to be tested
and based on the available documentation and the status of previously performed approvals, this part
of ISO/TS 14907 enables parties involved, e.g. system provider, operators, and test houses, to take into
consideration already proven references and to identify such parameters which still have to be tested
according to the specified applications.
At the time of publication of this part of ISO/TS 14907, the determination of common system requirements
for Europe (or any other region) has not been agreed. For this reason, this part of ISO/TS 14907 does
not specify any particular performance requirements, unless these are already determined elsewhere
(such as safety or radio regulations), but rather identifies the key parameters which will comprise such
requirements. Where reference to an existing test is available, this part of ISO/TS 14907 provides that
reference. This part of ISO/TS 14907 defines only the test and test procedures, not the benchmark
figures that these are to be measured against. Benchmark figures which the systems or components
under test can be compared with and validated against might form the subject of a future part of this
Technical Specification. Within the framework of the European Electronic Toll System (EETS), this part
of ISO/TS 14907 could provide inputs for the work of the notified bodies in view to certify the different
systems’ part of the EETS in particular to check the suitability for use.
This part of ISO/TS 14907 is furthermore limited to automated (electronic) payment using a
standardized dedicated short-range communication (DSRC). The scope of this part of ISO/TS 14907
does not include manual payment, conventional money transaction, nor payment by means of sticker,
vignettes, tickets, or magnetic-stripe cards, etc. The applications to which EFC is related are toll
collection, road pricing, parking, and individual traffic information.
This part of ISO/TS 14907 enables groups of operators to determine common specific performance levels
and operating conditions and to enable regional variation where appropriate. It provides operating and
environmental parameters (or classes of operating and environmental parameters) within which such
systems shall successfully function without impairing interoperability to ensure that the person who
specified the system can state their requirements clearly to implementation designers and integrators
and to enable the measurement of the performance of such systems.
The following guidelines have been followed when selecting the test procedures for test parameters:
— reference as far as possible to existing standardized test procedures;
— focusing on those tests that are essential to ensure that EFC equipment is able to exchange
information and mutually use the exchanged information.
A brief guide describing how to use this part of ISO/TS 14907 is provided by Annex A.
While this part of ISO/TS 14907 relates to general test procedures, certain provisions relate specifically
to test procedures for certification purposes. Many features of this part of ISO/TS 14907 are relevant
internationally; it is recognized that due to different regulatory requirements outside Europe,
extension may be required to make its applicability as comprehensive in non-EU countries, before this
International Standard can be reviewed for acceptance as in EU countries.
The ISO/TS 17444 series provides an examination framework for EFC charging performance.

Electronic fee collection — Test procedures for user and
fixed equipment —
Part 1:
Description of test procedures
1 Scope
This part of ISO/TS 14907 specifies the test procedures of EFC roadside equipment (RSE) and on-board
equipment (OBE) with regard to the conformance to standards and requirements for type approval and
acceptance testing which is within the realm of EFC application specifically.
The scope of this part of ISO/TS 14907 is restricted to systems operating within the radio emission,
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) regulations, traffic, and other regulations of the countries in
which they are operated.
This part of ISO/TS 14907 identifies a set of suitable parameters and provides test procedures to enable
the proof of a complete EFC system, as well as components of an EFC system, e.g. OBE, related to the
defined requirements of an application. The defined parameter and tests are assigned to the following
groups of parameters:
— functionality;
— quality;
— referenced pre-tests.
An overview of the tests and parameters provided by this part of ISO/TS 14907 is given in 5.1 and 5.2.
This part of ISO/TS 14907 describes procedures, methods and tools, and a test plan which shows
the relation between all tests and the sequence of these tests. It lists all tests that are required to
measure the performance of EFC equipment. It describes which EFC equipment is covered by the test
procedures; the values of the parameters to be tested are not included. It also describes how the tests
are to be performed and which tools and prerequisites are necessary before this series of tests can be
undertaken. It is assumed that the security of the system is inherent in the communications and EFC
functionality tests, therefore they are not addressed here. All tests in this part of ISO/TS 14907 provide
instructions to evaluate the test results.
The test procedures can be used for prototype testing, type approvals, test of installations, and
periodic inspections. Thus this part of ISO/TS 14907 defines only the test and test procedures, not the
benchmark figures that these are to be measured against.
Related to a conceptual model of an EFC system, this part of ISO/TS 14907 relates only to the equipment
of the user and the service provider as illustrated in Figure 1. Any other entities are outside the scope of
this part of ISO/TS 14907.

ISO/TS 14907-1:2015(E)

Figure 1 — Conceptual model of EFC
EFC systems for DSRC consist, in principle, of a group of technical components, which in combination
fulfil the functions required for the collection of fees by electronic automatic means. These components
comprise of all, or most, of the following:
— OBE within a vehicle;
— OBE containing the communications and computing sub-functions;
— optional integrated circuit card which may carry electronic money, service rights, and other
secured information;
— communication between OBE and RSE based on DSRC;
— equipment for the fee collection at the RSE containing the communications and computing sub-
functions;
— equipment for the enforcement at the roadside;
— central equipment for the administration and operation of the system.
The scope of this part of ISO/TS 14907 relates solely to OBE and RSE and the DSRC interface between
OBE and RSE including its functions to perform the fee collection as illustrated by Figure 2. All the
equipment used for enforcement (e.g. detection, classification, localization, and registration) and
central equipment are outside the scope of this part of ISO/TS 14907.

5 Test parameters and test procedures for EFC
5.1 Tests overview
5.1.1 General
The test parameters for EFC systems or components are categorized in three groups as follows:
a) functionality tests;
b) quality tests;
c) referenced pre-tests.
Figure 3 shows the general structure of all test parameter groups relevant for EFC systems and those
which are relevant to this part of ISO/TS 14907. The test parameters for pre-tests are referenced from
sources other than this part of ISO/TS 14907. The specific test parameters that are ultimately deemed
relevant for a specific EFC system shall be identified and listed in the test plan according to 5.3. The
individual test plan for type approval or acceptance testing shall take into account those pre-tests that
have already been passed, i.e. for EMC, DSRC, and environment.
Figure 3 — Test plan — Interdependencies
5.1.2 Functionality tests
The first category of tests is related to test procedures which aim to verify the functionality of the
EFC equipment.
The functionality tests are related to the essential test parameters that need to be applied to verify the
performance and capability of EFC equipment of different vendors and system operators.
© ISO 2015 – All rights reserved 7

---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
ISO/TS 14907-1:2015(E)

The following parameters shall be tested:
— communication;
— EFC application;
— influence of vehicle characteristics;
— influence of traffic characteristics;
— environmental influences.
Communication and EFC application tests are described in 6.1. Tests related to vehicle and traffic
characteristics and environmental influences are listed in Annex B.
5.1.3 Quality tests
The second category of tests is related to procedures that aim to determine the quality of the EFC
equipment. These are relevant for both operators and users.
The following test parameters shall be tested:
— quality management;
— reliability;
— availability.
For some of these test parameters, there are some existing test procedures available, which are referenced.
These tests are described in 6.2 and Annex C.
5.1.4 Referenced pre-tests
The third category of tests is related to test parameters which are fundamental for the performance
of EFC equipment. The specific parameters and requirements are not within the scope of this part of
ISO/TS 14907. The parameters that are relevant can be assigned to the following groups:
— DSRC;
— EMC;
— environment.
5.2 Parameter overview
Tables 1 to 3 provide a comprehensive list of the parameters that are relevant for type approval or
acceptance testing of a complete EFC system, as well as components of an EFC system. The tables are
divided according to the subjects of 5.1.2, 5.1.3, and 5.1.4, namely functionality, quality, and referenced
pre-tests. The subclause in which the tests are described or referenced is shown. An indication as to the
nature of these tests (basic or conditional) is provided as not all tests are relevant to all operators and
their specific operating situations and environment.
As used in Tables 1 to 3,
— “basic” means that the identified tests are highly recommended as part of a foundation for meaningful
evaluation, and
— “conditional” means that the test shall be performed if, and only if, it is applicable to a feature
identified in the specification of the system or component under evaluation, for example, performing
the lane changing test (T6) if the RSE is characterized as multilane.
