ISO 14819-2:2021/Amd 1:2026 - Intelligent transport systems — Traffic and travel information messages via traffic message coding — Part 2: Event and information codes for Radio Data System-Traffic Message Channel (RDS-TMC) using ALERT-C — Amendment 1
ISO 14819-2:2021/Amd 1:2026 - Systèmes de transport intelligents — Informations sur le trafic et les déplacements via le codage de messages sur le trafic — Partie 2: Codes d'évènements et d'informations pour le système de radiodiffusion de données - canal de messages d'informations sur le trafic (RDS-TMC) avec Alert-C — Amendement 1
ISO 14819-2:2021/Amd 1:2026 is an ISO amendment to ISO 14819-2:2021 for intelligent transport systems. It updates the event and information codes used in Radio Data System-Traffic Message Channel (RDS-TMC) messages encoded with ALERT-C by adding holiday-related message entries.
What does ISO 14819-2:2021/Amd 1:2026 specify?
ISO 14819-2:2021/Amd 1:2026 specifies targeted updates to the RDS-TMC event and information code lists in the base part. The amendment affects the main code table in Clause 4.2.2 and the corresponding multilingual presentation in Annex C.
| Location | What it covers |
|---|---|
| 4.2.2, Table 3 | Main event and information code list used for RDS-TMC messages |
| Annex C, Table C.1 | Corresponding wording in metric and non-metric text forms |
In practice, this means the document is not a broad rewrite. It is a narrow maintenance amendment that extends the existing code set with holiday-specific wording so implementers can distinguish between national and regional holiday situations.
What are the key requirements of ISO 14819-2:2021/Amd 1:2026?
The amendment updates both the coded list and the displayed text. For anyone implementing or maintaining an RDS-TMC service, that means the same new entries need to appear in the machine-facing code set and in the user-facing text forms.
- Clause 4.2.2, Table 3 adds a new entry for a traffic or travel message related to a national holiday. In practice, systems that generate or decode RDS-TMC messages need a distinct code for that situation.
- Clause 4.2.2, Table 3 also adds a separate entry for a regional holiday. This matters when the event applies locally rather than across the whole country.
- Annex C, Table C.1 mirrors the national-holiday addition in the metric-language column used by CEN and in the GB-English column. This keeps the human-readable wording aligned with the code list.
- Annex C, Table C.1 mirrors the regional-holiday addition in the same way. Implementers should update message rendering so the holiday wording matches the chosen unit and language presentation.
- The amendment changes both text and code mapping. In practice, a conforming implementation should update message generation, decoding, content databases, and test cases together, not just one of them.
- The amendment is specific to the existing RDS-TMC coding structure using ALERT-C. That means it fits into an established traffic-message coding scheme rather than introducing a new format.
What terms does ISO 14819-2:2021/Amd 1:2026 define?
RDS-TMC means Radio Data System-Traffic Message Channel, the broadcast channel used to carry traffic message codes.
ALERT-C is the coding method used with RDS-TMC in this part of the ISO 14819 series.
An event code is the coded identifier used to represent a traffic or travel situation.
An information code is a coded identifier for additional traffic-related information that can be carried in the message system.
Metric units (language as used by CEN) is the wording form used in Annex C for the metric presentation.
GB-English is the non-metric English wording form used in Annex C.
Who uses ISO 14819-2:2021/Amd 1:2026?
ISO 14819-2:2021/Amd 1:2026 is used by organizations that build, maintain, or validate RDS-TMC traffic information services. That includes traffic information providers, ITS integrators, navigation and in-vehicle system developers, and teams that manage code lists or message databases.
Quality and conformity teams use it to check that holiday-related messages are encoded and displayed consistently. Road transport and mobility organizations use it when they need standardized wording for traffic and travel information services.
What changed in ISO 14819-2:2021/Amd 1:2026 from the previous edition?
ISO 14819-2:2021/Amd 1:2026 adds two holiday-related message entries to the existing code lists: one for messages due to a national holiday and one for messages due to a regional holiday. The same additions are made in Annex C so the coded form and the displayed wording stay aligned.
What does the ISO 14819-2:2021/Amd 1:2026 document contain?
This amendment is short and focused. It gives the exact update instructions for Table 3 in Clause 4.2.2 and for Table C.1 in Annex C, where the new holiday-related entries are inserted into the existing structure.
It is intended for implementation work, code list maintenance, and validation of RDS-TMC message content. The document does not describe a new system; it changes the wording and code mapping for two specific traffic-message cases within the existing ISO 14819-2 framework.
