ISO/TS 15638-15:2013

Intelligent transport systems — Framework for collaborative Telematics Applications for Regulated commercial freight Vehicles (TARV) — Part 15: Vehicle location monitoring (VLM)

ISO/TS 15638-15:2013 addresses the provision of ?Vehicle location monitoring' and specifies the form and content of such data required to support such systems, and access methods (4.2) to that data. ISO/TS 15638-15:2013 provides specifications (4.43) for common communications and data exchange aspects of the application service (4.4) Vehicle location monitoring that a regulator (4.39) may elect to require or support as an option, including: a) high level definition of the service that a service provider (4.41) has to provide, (The service definition describes common service elements; but does not define the detail of how such an application service (4.4) is instantiated, not the acceptable value ranges of the data concepts defined) b) means to realise the service c) application data, naming content and quality that an IVS (4.26) has to deliver. The definition of what comprises a 'regulated' service is regarded as an issue for National decision, and may vary from jurisdiction (4.29) to jurisdiction. This document does not impose any requirements on nations in respect of which services for regulated vehicles jurisdictions will require, or support as an option, but provides standardised sets of requirements descriptions for identified services to enable consistent and cost efficient implementations where instantiated. ISO 15638 has been developed for use in the context of regulated commercial freight vehicles (hereinafter referred to as ?regulated vehicles (4.38)'). There is nothing, however, to prevent a jurisdiction extending or adapting the scope to include other types of regulated vehicles, as it deems appropriate.

Introduction
Many ITS technologies have been embraced by commercial transport operators (4.34) and freight owners, in
the areas of fleet management, safety and security. Telematics (4.45) applications have also been developed
for governmental use. Such regulatory services in use or being considered vary from jurisdiction (4.29) to
jurisdiction, but include electronic on-board recorders, digital tachograph (4.44), on-board mass (4.32)
monitoring, ‘‘mass’ data for regulatory control and management (4.33) , vehicle access (4.1) methods,
hazardous goods (4.25) tracking and emergency message service/eCall. Additional applications with a
regulatory impact being developed include, fatigue management, speed monitoring and heavy vehicle
penalties imposed based on location, distance and time.

In such an emerging environment of regulatory and commercial applications (4.14), it is timely to consider an
overall architecture (4.10) (business and functional) that could support these functions from a single platform
within a commercial freight vehicle that operate within such regulations. International Standards will allow for a
speedy development and specification (4.43) of new applications that build upon the functionality of a generic
specification platform. A suite of standards documents is required to describe and define the framework (4.22)
and requirements so that the on board equipment and back office systems can be commercially designed in
an open market to meet common requirements of jurisdictions (4.29).
This suite of standards addresses and defines the framework (4.22) for a range of cooperative telematics (4.45)
applications for regulated commercial freight vehicles (4.38) (such as access methods (4.2), driver fatigue
management, speed monitoring, on-board mass (4.32) monitoring, ‘mass’ data for regulatory control and
management (4.33)). The overall scope includes the concept of operation, legal and regulatory issues, and the
generic cooperative provision of services to regulated commercial freight vehicles, using an on-board ITS
platform. The framework is based on a (multiple) service provider (4.41) oriented approach with provisions for
the approval (4.7) and auditing (4.11) of service providers.
This suite of standards documents will:
 provide the basis for future development of cooperative telematics (4.45) applications for regulated
commercial freight vehicles (4.38). Many elements to accomplish this are already available. Existing
relevant standards will be referenced, and the specifications (4.43) will use existing standards (such as
CALM) wherever practicable.
 allow for a powerful platform for highly cost-effective delivery of a range of telematics applications for
regulated commercial freight vehicles (4.38) .
 a business architecture (4.10) based on a (multiple) service provider (4.41) oriented approach
 address legal and regulatory aspects for the approval (4.7) and auditing (4.11) of service providers.

This suite of standards deliverables is timely as many governments (Europe, North America, Asia and
Australia/New Zealand) are considering the use of telematics (4.45) for a range of regulatory purposes.
Ensuring that a single in-vehicle platform can deliver a range of services to both government and industry
through open standards and competitive markets is a strategic objective.
This part of the ISO 15638 family of standards documents provides specifications (4.43) for vehicle location
monitoring.
NOTE: The definition of what comprises a ‘regulated’ vehicle is regarded as an issue for national decision, and may vary
from jurisdiction (4.29) to jurisdiction. This suite of standards documents does not impose any requirements on nations in
respect of how they define a regulated vehicle (4.38).
NOTE: The definition of what comprises a ‘regulated’ service is regarded as an issue for national decision, and may vary
from jurisdiction (4.29) to jurisdiction. This suite of standards documents does not impose any requirements on nations in

Intelligent transport systems — Framework for collaborative
Telematics Applications for Regulated commercial freight
Vehicles (TARV) —
Part 15:
Vehicle location monitoring (VLM)
1 Scope
This part of ISO 15638 addresses the provision of ‘Vehicle location monitoring’ and specifies the form and
content of such data required to support such systems, and access methods (4.2) to that data.
This part of ISO 15638 provides specifications (4.43) for common communications and data exchange aspects
of the application service (4.4) Vehicle location monitoring that a regulator (4.39) may elect to require or support
as an option, including:
a) high level definition of the service that a service provider (4.41) has to provide, (The service definition
describes common service elements; but does not define the detail of how such an application service
(4.4) is instantiated, not the acceptable value ranges of the data concepts defined)
b) means to realise the service
c) application data, naming content and quality that an IVS (4.26) has to deliver.
The definition of what comprises a ‘regulated’ service is regarded as an issue for National decision, and may
vary from jurisdiction (4.29) to jurisdiction. This document does not impose any requirements on nations in
respect of which services for regulated vehicles jurisdictions will require, or support as an option, but provides
standardised sets of requirements descriptions for identified services to enable consistent and cost efficient
implementations where instantiated.
ISO 15638 has been developed for use in the context of regulated commercial freight vehicles (hereinafter
referred to as ‘regulated vehicles (4.38)’). There is nothing, however, to prevent a jurisdiction extending or
adapting the scope to include other types of regulated vehicles, as it deems appropriate.
2 Conformance
Requirements to demonstrate conformance to any of the general provisions or specific application services
(4.4) described in this part of ISO 15638 shall be within the regulations imposed by the jurisdiction (4.29) where
they are instantiated. Conformance requirements to meet the provisions of this International Standard are
therefore deemed to be under the control of, and to the specification of, the jurisdiction where the application
service(s)is/are instantiated.
The protocols defined in this Part of ISO 15638 have been independently tested. Annex A (Informative)
provides results of these tests. In any conformance assurance process undertaken by candidate systems,
where appropriate the results may be used as part of its process of conformance compliance.
