ISO/TS 17263:2003

Automatic vehicle and equipment identification — Intermodal goods transport — System parameters

ISO/TS 17263:2003 establishes an AEI-System based on radio frequency technologies. This system is intended for general application in RTTT/TICS. It allows for the transfer of the identification codes and further information about equipment and vehicles used in intermodal transport into such RTTT/TICS and information systems related to Intermodal Transport processes. Within the intermodal context of the RTTT/TICS Sector, AEI systems have the specific objective of achieving an unambiguous identification of an ITU or related equipment or vehicle or item used in intermodal transport, and to make that identification automatically. Vehicles will be considered and handled under Intermodal aspects as "Intermodal Equipment". Therefore a differentiation between AEI and AVI systems under the purpose of ISO/TS 17263:2003 is not required. ISO/TS 17263:2003 is specifically aimed at DSRC-type air interfaces. The requirement and test methods may not apply for Intermodal AEI systems using long range communications such as Cellular Networks or Satellite, or vicinity communication such as inductively coupled antennas. The interoperability across the air interface (reference point Delta) is outside the scope of ISO/TS 17263:2003. The aim of ISO/TS 17263:2003 is to define, describe and specify the System Parameters related to an intermodal AEI system to provide an enabling Standard, which, whilst allowing the system specifier to determine the performance levels and operating conditions, provides a framework for interoperability. Therefore ISO/TS 17263:2003 specifies: parameters and requirements of the identification system itself; performance criteria necessary to ensure consistent and reliable operation of AEI systems within international transport processing; requirements of the performance and the position of the electronic devices (tag) when installed on intermodal equipment; requirements for the installation of readers, and performance data related to these components.

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 2.
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:
— 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;
— 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 after three years in order to decide whether it will be confirmed for a
further three years, revised to become an International Standard, or withdrawn. If the ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is
confirmed, it is reviewed again after a further three years, at which time it must either be transformed into an
International Standard or be withdrawn.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO/TS 17263 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) in collaboration with
Technical Committee ISO/TC 204, Intelligent transport systems, in accordance with the Agreement on
technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).

Specification.”.

Introduction
This Technical Specification specifies parameters for a system for the automatic identification of equipment,
vehicles and items (AEI) used in intermodal transport chains. This Technical Specification is designed to enable
users and suppliers of AEI-Systems to specify or use a system or components of a system that will enable
interoperability. Such systems are designed to read and transfer the identity and some further important data of
equipment, vehicles and items used in intermodal transport to other partners in each possible transport chain to
minimise the expenditure and to automate the process of transport observation and control. This pre standard is a
part of a family of Standards for that purpose.
AEI systems are necessary as a basic tool for RTTT/TICS applications in intermodal transport operation. These
information systems need real-time highly reliable data about the identity, status, time, location, etc. of the
equipment, vehicles or items during the transport operation. The characteristics of an Intermodal Transport chain is
other
that pieces of equipment or items will be loaded or unloaded more than once from pieces of equipment or
vehicles. AEI systems in such applications shall also be able to provide the identity of both units at the loading and
unloading process. The purpose is to capture the event so that the information system reflects the real world.

1 Scope
1.1 General
This Technical Specification establishes an AEI-System based on radio frequency technologies. This system is
intended for general application in RTTT/TICS. It allows the transfer of the identification codes and further
information about equipment and vehicles used in intermodal transport into such RTTT/TICS and information
systems related to Intermodal Transport processes. Within the intermodal context of the RTTT/TICS Sector, AEI
systems have the specific objective of achieving an unambiguous identification of an ITU or related equipment or
vehicle or item used in intermodal transport, and to make that identification automatically. Vehicles will be
considered and handled under Intermodal aspects as „Intermodal Equipment“. Therefore a differentiation between
AEI and AVI systems under the purpose of this standard is not required.
This Technical Specification is specifically aimed at DSRC-type air interfaces. The requirement and test methods
may not apply for Intermodal AEI systems using long range communications such as Cellular Networks or Satellite,
or vicinity communication such as inductively coupled antennas. The interoperability across the air interface
(reference point Delta) is outside the scope of this Technical Specification. Please see CEN ISO/TS 17264
Automatic Vehicle and Equipment Identification (AVI/AEI) - AVI/AEI Interfaces (under preparation).
1.2 Aim
The aim of this standard is to define, describe and specify the System Parameters related to an intermodal AEI
system to provide an enabling Standard, which, whilst allowing the system specifier to determine the performance
levels and operating conditions, provides a framework for interoperability. Therefore this Technical Specification
specifies:
a) parameters and requirements of the identification system itself
b) performance criteria necessary to ensure consistent and reliable operation of AEI systems within international
transport processing
c) requirements of the performance and the position of the electronic devices (tag) when installed on intermodal
equipment
d) requirements for the installation of readers, and performance data related to these components.
NOTE: These parameters of an AEI system shall be identical, compatible or interoperable world-wide in respect of systems
complying to this Pre-Standard. Yet it is recognised that, at the implementation level, there may be requirements for regional or
operational differences in the performance levels achieved against these parameters.
