Foreword
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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted
by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
In other circumstances, particularly when there is an urgent market requirement for such documents, a technical
committee may decide to publish other types of normative document:
1. an ISO Publicly Available Specification (ISO/PAS) represents an agreement between technical experts in an
ISO working group and is accepted for publication if it is approved by more than 50 % of the members of the
parent committee casting a vote;
2. an ISO Technical Specification (ISO/TS) represents an agreement between the members of a technical
committee and is accepted for publication if it is approved by 2/3 of the members of the committee casting a
vote.
An ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is reviewed every three years with a view to deciding whether it can be transformed into an
International Standard.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this Technical Specification may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO/TS 14816 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) in collaboration with ISO
Technical Committee TC 204, Transport information and control systems, in accordance with the Agreement on
technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
Throughout the text of this document, read ".this European pre-Standard." to mean ".this Technical
Specification.".
Annexes A and B form a normative part of this Technical Specification. Annex C is for information only.

INTRODUCTION
This Standard specifies a data structure that enables upwards integration and expansion from
the simplest low cost AVI/AEI system to more complex functions. The structure is designed to
be flexible and enabling rather than prescriptive.
This Standard has been designed to provide for the differing requirements of AVI and AEI by the
use of separate application specific . By retaining these differing requirements within one
supervisory document the interoperability is maximised, particularly in the case where both AVI
and AEI are required at the same time in the Road Environment.
In order to support systems using both active and passive OBEs, the basic data structures have
been minimised. This enables any manufacturer/operator with an OBE with a user addressable
memory of only 56 bits to be able to conform a full core identification according to this Standard.
Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) is widely applied. Its usage provides maximum
interoperability and conformance to existing Standards, and meets the specifically defined
requirements for a generic Standard model for RTTT in that it:
� Uses existing standard Syntax Notation and Encoding Rules
� Is adaptable and expandable
� Does not include unnecessary information for a specific system
� Incurs a minimum of overhead in storage and transmission.
Readers who are unfamiliar with ASN.1 are advised to read ANNEX C before reading the
main body of this preStandard. Readers are also advised to read ISO/IEC 8824:1998,
ISO/IEC 8825-1:1998, ISO/IEC 8825-2:1998 and ISO/IEC DIS 8825-3:1992 and other
published work on ASN.1 before reading the main body of this preStandard.
ENV 12314-1 provides a Reference Architecture Model for AVI/AEI systems.
Sections 4.1 - 4.6 of ENV ISO 14816 provide a standardised yet flexible and interoperable
framework for Numbering Schemes. A structure for AVI/AEI unambiguous identification and
several Numbering Schemes associated with AVI/AEI systems are determined in this
preStandard.
The core AVI/AEI Numbering Scheme, central to the effective use of many of the constructs, is
a structure to provide unambiguous identification. Section 4.7 of this preStandard provides a
data element coding for Automatic Vehicle and Equipment Identification (AVI/AEI) in RTTT
56
applications. This coding provides a structure with the possibility of 2 (inexcessof72million
billions) unique identifiers, provided within a 56 bit code structure when ISO/IEC 8825-2 (PER)
is used, i.e. no overhead is incurred.

1. SCOPE
1.1 OVERALL NUMBERING SCHEME
This Standard establishes a common framework data structure for unambiguous identification in
RTTT/TICS systems. The Standard excludes any physical aspects such as interfaces. It is
neither frequency nor air interface protocol specific.
Data elements that form part of transmission or storage protocols such as headers, frame
markers and checksums are thus excluded.
The specifications for protecting against changes, classifying and qualifying security aspects of
the data structure elements are not included within this Standard.
The principles of data element structure and description determined in ISO/IEC 8824:1998,
ISO/IEC 8825-1:1998, ISO/IEC 8825-2:1998 and ISO/IEC DIS 8825-3:1992 have been adopted
to provide an interoperable architecture within a Standard framework according to guidelines
from CEN TC278 as well as ISO TC204.
This Standard defines data structures based on the ISO/IEC 8824-1 ASN.1UNIVERSAL CLASS
types that may be directlyIMPORTED to other application standards that would need only
subsets of the fullAPPLICATION CLASS types. TheseUNIVERSAL CLASS andAPPLICATION
CLASS types are uniquely defined as an ASN.1 module in Annex B. This module may be directly
linked into an application data definition.
This Standard defines default encoding for simple AVI/AEI applications where no other relevant
application standard exists. This definition forms Section 4.
1.2 AVI/AEI NUMBERING SCHEME
The principal registered schemes for AVI/AEI are determined in 4.7 and 4.8 of this preStandard.
Other relevant and interoperable schemes are detailed in the subsequent Sections.
The structures defined in this Standard provide interoperability, not only between simple
AVI/AEI and more complex RTTT/TICS functions, but also with pre-existing Standards (e.g. ISO
10374 Freight containers - Coding, identification and marking)
There will be one Central Registration Authority that will administer the AVI Numbering Scheme
according to the rules of CEN and ISO (See Annex A (normative):).
The issuer may choose to operate its structure, amongst others :
� for simple identification, in which case the separate identities may be openly available, at
the discretion of the issuer or nation state,
� on an alias basis, in which case the “identities” will be known, but secured under provisions
of data protection to maintain privacy and therefore not available,
� as dynamically encrypted identities in an anonymous system.

4. REQUIREMENTS
4.1 OVERALL CODING STRUCTURE
The AVI/AEI Coding Structure determined in this Standard:
� is unambiguous and flexible enough to include relevant transport related Numbering
Schemes
� follows relevant Standards, available at the time of writing
� provides an exact coding of the data elements
� is extendible to enable future expansion
� is able to accommodate private structures.
4.2 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
The coding structure determined in this preStandard is an "enabling" structure. It is designed to
accommodate, within its framework, coding structures for a variety of RTTT/TICS systems from
simple AVI/AEI to more complex transactions with a wide variety of uses, and to allow
combinations of data elements to be used in a composite data construct. It is designed to allow
as much interoperability of the data elements within an EDI/EDT environment as is possible,
and provide capability for a significant expansion of the number of RTTT/TICS applications in
the future.
This preStandard takes cognisance of, and accommodates, the operation of systems of different
capability. It will enable, within its structure, the interoperability of one On Board Equipment in
any country so long as there is a common air interface and protocol, even though the operator
systems themselves may be significantly different. Even where information has to be collected
by a separate interrogator because air interface compatibility does not exist, the data, once
collected, is in a commonly interoperable format, and may thus be used accurately and
effectively within an EDI/EDT environment.
The data structures defined in this Standard enable "tree and branch" or "cascade" structures
with the ability to build complex data element constructs.
The preStandard has been optimised for ISO/IEC 8825-2 as recommended by ISO 14813-3.
The preStandard uses ISO/IEC 8824-1 in all its syntax descriptions.
By adopting the ISO/IEC 8824:1998, ISO/IEC 8825-1:1998, ISO/IEC 8825-2:1998 and
ISO/IEC DIS 8825-3:1992 Abstract Syntax Notation (ASN.1), the flexibility is provided for data
elements of any length and combination to be supported. Also this data structure prStandard is
itself given a migration path so that, as technological developments allow further capabilities,
subsequent Standards may provide additional data fields for use in all, or some, sector specific
applications, whilst maintaining the upwards compatibility from and to this preStandard.
The ASN.1 Encoding Rules enable the chaining of multiple data elements from different
application sectors to build complex data element constructs. (See examples in.Annex C)
4.3 DATA STRUCTURE
The data structuring requirements as defined in ISO/IEC 8824:1998, ISO/IEC 8825-1:1998,
ISO/IEC 8825-2:1998 and ISO/IEC DIS 8825-3:1992 apply and in particular ISO 14813-3.
4.4 RESIDENCY OF DATA
The data construct is designed to be free standing and independent of the media. It will
therefore normally reside in the On Board Equipment.
In specific cases, such as the standardised European DSRC 5.8 GHz link, where part of the
message is already known because of L7 services, the use of ASN.1 PER proposed within this
Standard enables only the unknown part of the message to be transferred, thus minimum
redundancy is achieved.

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
ISO/TS 14816:2000(E)
The examples given in the remainder of this document assume the use of ASN.1 Packed
Encoding Rules (PER). Where Basic Encoding Rules are used, there will be additional
overhead as defined in ISO/IEC 8825-1. See Annex C for implementation examples.

4.7 CS1- AVI/AEI NUMBERING SCHEME
4.7.1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
This AVI/AEI Numbering Scheme provides an unambiguous identification element of 56 bits
(PER encoding) to be held on the On-Board Equipment. This data structure is designed to be
used for simple AVI/AEI, and may also be used to form the AVI/AEI element of RTTT messages
where AVI/AEI is a component.
Registration procedures including the structures that are with National Issuing Authorities are
mandatory for this structure. Provisions for registration can be found in Annex A (normative):.
4.7.2 DATA STRUCTURE
4.7.2.1 Data Structure Elements
The format provides a "read only" On Board Equipment Permanent Code Mandatory Field
providing specific adaptation to the requirements for AVI/AEI in the RTTT environment.
Operators who wish to provide additional data fields, of read only, or a read/write nature, can do
so by adding additional ASN.1 identifier sets as described in an example of Annex C.
4.7.2.2 ASN.1 Data Type definitions
4.7.2.2.1 CS1 definition

4.7.2.2.4 Service Number definition
ServiceNumber ::= BIT STRING(Size(32))
4.8 CS2-MANUFACTURERS NUMBERING
4.8.1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Manufacturers Numbering enables manufacturers to provide, if they so choose, a numbering
system that is independent of a particular country. It is expected that this Numbering Scheme
will primarily be used as an electronic serial number in systems requiring direct knowledge of
manufacturer and equipment versions (e.g. for QA/QC purposes). This number may also be
used as a cryptographic hidden identity in systems with a combination of anonymity and strong
security requirements.
The following structure details the content of the manufacturers numbering data ‘primitive’ and is
to be read in conjunction with the notes shown below the structure.
Registration procedures are similar to the procedures of CS1, with the exception that the
structures are not registered with any National Issuing Authority. Provisions for registration can
be found in Annex A (normative):.
4.8.2 DATA STRUCTURE
4.8.2.1 Data Structure Elements
Operators who wish to provide additional data fields, of read only, or a read/write nature, can do
so by adding additional ASN.1 identifier sets as described in the examples given in.Annex C
4.8.2.2 Detailed Data Structure
The Numbering Scheme views the ID as a data element, and the common basic data structure
is only a data identifier code.
The framework of this data structure, into which the manufacturers numbering data field fits,
follows the principles defined in CS1 (AVI/AEI Numbering Scheme), and is applied in this
structure as follows:
4.8.2.2.1 CS2 definition
CS2 ::= SEQUENCE {
issuerIdentifier ManufacturerIdentifier,
serviceNumber ServiceNumber
}
4.8.2.2.2 Manufacturer Identifier definition
ManufacturerIdentifier ::= INTEGER(0 . 65535)
4.8.2.2.3 Service Number definition
ServiceNumber is defined in 4.7.2.2.4.
4.9 CS3 - VALIDITY LIMITATION
4.9.1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
The Validity Limitation Structure is a Data Element Structure that specifies value(s) to provide
limits, either in time, geographically or application.
The time limitation provides a starting or issuing date/time group formatted according to a
UNIVERSAL ASN.1 TYPE, and an expiration date/time group formatted the same way. This
type is referenced to universal coordinated time (UTC, Z).

---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------
ISO/TS 14816:2000(E)
The geographical limitation restricting the use of the referenced number to the issuer area,
district, country or continent. It shall use the bit field described in 4.9.2.2.4.
Application or service limitation is to restrict the type of service for which this Validity Limitation
number is issued: Post-payment, Pre-payment, Access control, Fleet Control, etc. The use of
this parameter is valid for issuers providing more than one service, and for users that want to
avoid responsibility for a certain set of these services. It shall use the bit field described in
4.9.2.2.5.
Registration procedures are not applicable in this case.
4.9.2 DATA STRUCTURE
4.9.2.1 Data Structure Elements
Operators who wish to provide additional data fields, of read only, or a read/write nature can do
so by adding additional ASN.1 identifier sets as described in an example of Annex C.
4.9.2.2 Detailed Data Structure
4.9.2.2.1 CS3 definition
CS3 ::= SEQUENCE {

}
4.9.2.2.2 StartTime definition
StartTime ::= UTCtime
--Recommended format is YYMMDDhhmmZ
Note: Due care should be taken when implementing the applications to avoid the Year 2000
problems. As the century component (CC) is not transferred, its value is inferred from the value
of the year component (YY) by e.g. the following rules:
� if 80 <= YY <= 99 then CC = 19
� if 00 <= YY <= 50 then CC = 20
4.9.2.2.3 StopTime definition
StopTime ::= UTCtime

4.10 CS4 - VEHICLE LICENCE NUMBER CODING
4.10.1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
In some systems there is a requirement to represent the vehicle licence plate number
electronically. This must be achieved unambiguously, and as the licence numbers in different
nations/states/countries may be the same there is also a need to include a country identifier.
Because several nations/states/countries issue licence plates with non-Latin characters (such
as Cyrillic or Greek) there is a need to identify which character set is used. These two
requirements are combined in this CS4 Vehicle Licence Number Coding
