Intelligent transport systems — Framework for cooperative telematics applications for regulated commercial freight vehicles (TARV) — Part 13: "Mass" information for jurisdictional control and enforcement

ISO/TS 15638-13:2015 addresses the provision of ?Mass (4.37) information for jurisdictional control and enforcement' and specifies the form and content of such data required to support such systems and access methods (4.3) to that data. The Scope of this part of ISO 15638 is to provide specifications (4.50) for common communications and data exchange aspects of the application service (4.6) Mass (4.37) information for jurisdictional control and enforcement that a regulator (4.44) may elect to require or support as an option, including a) high-level definition of the service that a service provider (4.48) has to provide (the service definition describes common service elements but does not define the detail of how such an application service (4.6) is instantiated, not the acceptable value ranges of the data concepts defined), b) means to realize the service, and c) application data, naming content and quality that an IVS (4.30) has to deliver. For clarification, Mass in this context is defined as a mass of a given heavy vehicle as measured by equipment affixed to the regulated vehicle; these mass calculations are achieved by dynamic real-time measurement using equipment especially installed for this purpose to measure the ?mass' impact on the road surface; it is, by definition, a service that can only be available to regulated vehicles that are especially equipped" (4.37). The definition of what comprises a ?regulated' service is regarded as an issue for National decision, and may vary from jurisdiction (4.34) to jurisdiction. This deliverable 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/TS 15638-13:2015 is not a substitute for general electronic fee collection system which, where applied normally need to accord to International EFC Standards in preference to this specification. The Scope of this part of ISO 15638 is limited to the imposition of control and enforcement measures for regulated commercial freight vehicles related to measurement of the Mass (4.37) on board the vehicle. ISO/TS 15638-13:2015 has been developed for use in the context of regulated commercial freight vehicles [hereinafter, referred to as ?regulated vehicles' (4.43)]. 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 (4.39) and freight
owners, in the areas of fleet management, safety and security. Telematics (4.52) applications have also
been developed for governmental use. Such regulatory services in use or being considered vary from
jurisdiction (4.34) to jurisdiction, but include electronic on-board recorders, digital tachograph (4.51),
on-board mass (4.37) monitoring, Mass (4.37) information for jurisdictional control and enforcement,
vehicle access (4.1) methods, hazardous goods (4.29) tracking and e-call (4.25). 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 (4.16), it is timely to consider
an overall architecture (4.12) (business and functional) that could support these functions from a single
platform within a commercial freight vehicle that operates within such regulations. International
Standards will allow for a speedy development and specification (4.50) of new applications that build
upon the functionality of a generic specification platform. A suite of standards deliverables is required
to describe and define the framework (4.28) 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 (4.34).
This suite of standards addresses and defines the framework (4.28) for a range of cooperative telematics
(4.52) applications for regulated vehicles (4.43) (such as access methods (4.3), driver fatigue management,
speed monitoring, on-board mass (4.37) monitoring, penalties and enforcement). The overall scope
includes the concept of operation, legal and regulatory issues, and the generic cooperative provision
of services to regulated vehicles (4.43), using an on-board ITS platform. The framework is based on a
(multiple) service provider (4.48) oriented approach with provisions for the approval (4.9) and auditing
(4.13) of service providers.
This suite of standards deliverables will
— provide the basis for future development of cooperative telematics (4.52) applications for
regulated vehicles (4.43). Many elements to accomplish this are already available. Existing relevant
standards will be referenced, and the specifications (4.50) 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 vehicles (4.43),
— a business architecture (4.12) based on a (multiple) service provider (4.48) oriented approach, and
— address legal and regulatory aspects for the approval (4.9) and auditing (4.13) 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 (4.52) 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 ISO 15638 provides specifications (4.50) for Mass (4.37) information for jurisdictional
control and enforcement.
NOTE 1 The definition of what comprises a ‘regulated’ vehicle is regarded as an issue for National decision,
and may vary from jurisdiction (4.36) to jurisdiction. This suite of standards deliverables does not impose any
requirements on nations in respect of how they define a regulated vehicle (4.43).
NOTE 2 The definition of what comprises a ‘regulated’ service is regarded as an issue for National decision,
and may vary from jurisdiction (4.34) to jurisdiction. This suite of standards deliverables does not impose any
requirements on nations in respect of which services for regulated vehicles (4.43) jurisdictions will require, or
support as an option, but will provide standardised sets of requirements descriptions for identified services to
enable consistent and cost-efficient implementations where implemented.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION ISO/TS 15638-13:2015(E)
Intelligent transport systems — Framework for
cooperative telematics applications for regulated
commercial freight vehicles (TARV) —
Part 13:
”Mass” information for jurisdictional control and
enforcement
1 Scope
This part of ISO 15638 addresses the provision of ‘Mass (4.37) information for jurisdictional control and
enforcement’ and specifies the form and content of such data required to support such systems and
access methods (4.3) to that data.
The Scope of this part of ISO 15638 is to provide specifications (4.50) for common communications and
data exchange aspects of the application service (4.6) Mass (4.37) information for jurisdictional control
and enforcement that a regulator (4.44) may elect to require or support as an option, including
a) high-level definition of the service that a service provider (4.48) has to provide (the service definition
describes common service elements but does not define the detail of how such an application service
(4.6) is instantiated, not the acceptable value ranges of the data concepts defined),
b) means to realize the service, and
c) application data, naming content and quality that an IVS (4.30) has to deliver.
For clarification, Mass in this context is defined as a mass of a given heavy vehicle as measured by
equipment affixed to the regulated vehicle; these mass calculations are achieved by dynamic real-time
measurement using equipment especially installed for this purpose to measure the ‘mass’ impact on
the road surface; it is, by definition, a service that can only be available to regulated vehicles that are
especially equipped” (4.37).
The definition of what comprises a ‘regulated’ service is regarded as an issue for National decision, and
may vary from jurisdiction (4.34) to jurisdiction. This deliverable 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.
This part of ISO 15638 is not a substitute for general electronic fee collection system which, where
applied normally need to accord to International EFC Standards in preference to this specification. The
Scope of this part of ISO 15638 is limited to the imposition of control and enforcement measures for
regulated commercial freight vehicles related to measurement of the Mass (4.37) on board the vehicle.
ISO 15638 has been developed for use in the context of regulated commercial freight vehicles
[hereinafter, referred to as ‘regulated vehicles’ (4.43)]. 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 (4.6) described in this part of ISO 15638 shall be within the regulations imposed by the
jurisdiction (4.34) 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 B 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.
