Road transport and traffic telematics - After-theft systems for the recovery of stolen vehicles - Part 5: Messaging interface

This Technical Specification specifies guidelines for co-operation and the procedures to be followed between the LEA and ATSVR System Operating Centers (SOC) in response to alarm signals by ATSVR systems. For purposes of optimum mutual communication, this Technical Specification also includes suggestions and a format for the electronic exchange of information.
ATSVR are electronic systems that enable a communication centre or other authorised facility, such as the LEA, to monitor the location and theft status of a vehicle. Other information may also be available including the speed and direction of the vehicle. These systems may be automatically activated by a signal from an
anti-theft security device or upon receipt of a signal from an authorised SOC following confirmation of theft.
Systems may be short range or long range and may use different technology to achieve results.  Systems may identify the vehicle from on-board data or via reference to data held externally to the vehicle. Nevertheless, the standards of data and speed of communication should be compliant with requirements in this set of standards. System reliability and good, consistent procedures are extremely important.
System operators and users must remain aware that the level and timing of any response ultimately remains the responsibility of the LEA where the vehicle is currently located by an ATSVR system.  It is implicit that there should be a uniform way of dealing internationally with these systems when a stolen vehicle is in a country other than where the originating SOC is located.

Straßentransport - und Verkehrstelematik - Systeme zum Wiederfinden gestohlener Fahrzeuge - Teil 5: Schnittstelle für Nachrichten

Diese Technische Spezifikation legt Leitlinien für die Zusammenarbeit zwischen der Strafverfolgungsbehörde
(LEA) und den ATSVR-Systembetriebszentren (SOC) fest sowie die Vorgehensweisen, die beide nach
Alarmsignalen von ATSVR-Systemen zu befolgen haben. Für eine optimale Kommunikation enthält diese
Technische Spezifikation außerdem Vorschläge und ein Format für den elektronischen
Informationsaustausch.
ATSVR sind elektronische Systeme, die es einem Kommunikationszentrum oder einer autorisierten
Einrichtung, zum Beispiel einer LEA, ermöglichen, den Aufenthaltsort und den Diebstahlstatus eines
Fahrzeugs zu beobachten. Es können auch weitere Informationen verfügbar sein, darunter Geschwindigkeit
und Richtung des Fahrzeugs. Diese Systeme können durch ein Signal von einem Diebstahlschutzgerät oder
nach Empfang eines Signals von einem autorisierten SOC nach Bestätigung des Diebstahls automatisch
aktiviert werden.
Bei den Systemen kann es sich um Nahbereichs- oder Weitbereichssysteme handeln, die unterschiedliche
Techniken einsetzen können. Sie können das Fahrzeug anhand von fahrzeugseitig vorliegenden Daten oder
durch Bezugnahme auf Daten, die außerhalb des Fahrzeugs vorgehalten werden, identifizieren. Dennoch
sollten die Daten und die Kommunikationsgeschwindigkeit den Anforderungen der vorliegenden
Dokumentenreihe entsprechen. Die Zuverlässigkeit der Systeme sowie gute, beständige Vorgehensweisen
sind außerordentlich wichtig.
Systembetreibern und -nutzern muss bewusst sein, dass das Ausmaß und die zeitliche Festlegung jeder
Reaktion letztendlich in der Verantwortung der LEA liegen, in deren Zuständigkeitsbereich das Fahrzeug sich
nach den Angaben eines ATSVR-Systems aktuell befindet. Es versteht sich, dass bei diesen Systemen auf
internationaler Ebene eine einheitliche Vorgehensweise angewendet werden sollte, wenn sich ein
gestohlenes Fahrzeug in einem anderen Land als dem aufhält, in dem sich das anrufende SOC befindet.

Introduction
This Technical Specification was developed by CEN/TC 278 "Road transport and traffic telematics" Working
Group 14 (WG 14) on the subject of After Theft Systems for Vehicle Recovery (ATSVR).
WG 14 is comprised representatives and experts from police, insurance associations (CEA), car
manufacturers, transport associations, vehicle rental associations and ATSVR system and product providers
working in cooperation with Europol and the European Police Cooperation Working Group (EPCWG).
This Technical Specification was developed to define an architecture within the CEN/TC 278 guidelines
through which a level of interoperability can be achieved between Systems Operating Centres (SOC) and Law
Enforcement Agencies (LEA), both nationally and internationally.
This document will provide minimum standards of information and assurance to users regarding the
functionality of systems, so as to enable the recovery of vehicles, detect offenders and reduce crime.
This Technical Specification should be read in conjunction with CEN/TS 15213-1 Road transport and traffic
telematics – After-theft systems for the recovery of stolen vehicles - Reference architecture and terminology
which provides the preliminary framework for ATSVR concepts.

5 Message requirements.
5.1 National and local level messaging for ATSVR technology
The potential for widespread adoption of ATSVR and the possibility of false or malicious calls requires an
agreed process at local and national level. Figure 1 illustrates messaging at the national level.

Figure 1 — National level: five-step process
The five steps are as follows:
a) SOC notifies the Vehicle Owner or Authorised User of unauthorised use of the Target Vehicle/OR, the
owner notifies SOC of the theft starting the process where the system is activated by the SOC.
b) Vehicle Owner or Authorised User confirms that the Target Vehicle has been stolen.
c) SOC and/or owner/authorised user reports the vehicle as a Confirmed Stolen Vehicle to LEA. When a car
jacking is confirmed by other, possibly technical means, the SOC is not obliged to confirm the emergency
call to the owner/authorised user who is with the vehicle.
d) SOC gives the location, speed, direction, and other data to LEA and provides continuous commentary or
regular updates at defined intervals of time or distance. This data is system dependent.
e) LEA decides on the level of response and advises SOC.

5.2 International level messaging for ATSVR technology
The exchange of information between police forces across borders is a matter for those police forces, Interpol,
Europol and Schengen to address and not for CEN.
These LEA organisations are responsible for the exchange of crime intelligence and operations against
organised crime. Looking to the future when many vehicles will be fitted with After Theft devices, some of
which will also offer audit trials for debt collection or failure to return hire vehicles. These applications are not
an area that will concern these international police organisations. Indeed, the tracking of a stolen car will be
low on the list of their priorities when speed may be essential as the vehicle travels towards seaports or non-
EU countries.
This scenario is based on the fact that a bureau in one country can easily monitor the theft and location of
vehicles in several other countries. The police in the country where the vehicle is stolen may not agree to
detain a vehicle and driver based on information from a non-police source outside their country.
The preferred model is that if a company offers an ATSVR product that is capable of operating in other
countries and some SOC facility is required to contact the police, then the responsibility for transmitting the
information across borders remains with the SOC. It is not for the police to assist them with international
communication to carry out their commercial obligations.
It should be the responsibility of the SOC to have links with an authorised SOC in each country where the
system will operate. The location/tracking information will be passed to the SOC in the country where the
vehicle was stolen and they will contact the local police and give details of location. This way the operators
speak the local language, will know much of the local geography and will be known to the police who may
then have more faith in the information being correct.
At the time of first publication of this Technical Specification the information exchange will be by telephone,
but future systems will make it possible to exchange data information electronically.
6 SOC Approval by LEA.
6.1 Non-confirmed theft and calls from non-certified SOC's
LEA’s do not normally accept location/tracking data for non-confirmed thefts or from a non-approved SOC.
There will be occasions where such information is accompanied by other important information that leads an
LEA to believe that, in spite of the lack of conformity with these rules, there is a special case to accept that
police response is desirable. Such occasions will be the rare exception than the rule and there must be no
assumption by the ATSVR provider, the SOC or the owner of vehicles that such response will be given. The
only reasonable means of gaining police response is compliance with this Technical Specification.
6.2 The minimum standard for an approved SOC
The minimum requirements for an SOC are:
 operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year;
 provides full backup monitoring systems in the event of down time;
 has a recovery plan enabling continuity of service;
 adheres to its own national data protection laws.

The following information should be available over long range to the LEA from the ATSVR system or from the
SOC data. The exact data will be that appropriate to the system technology.
 Dynamic:
 incident, place of theft;
 dynamic data, direction;
 incident, time of theft;
 dynamic data, descriptive location;
 dynamic data, speed;
 dynamic data, geographic location;
 dynamic data, date and time.
 Static:
 incident, URN;
 incident, vehicle load;
 incident, vehicle passengers;
 name and address of owner / keeper;
 incident report.
 Object:
 vehicle manufacturer;
 vehicle, body type;
 vehicle colour;
 vehicle, licence plate / registration number;
 vehicle, country of registration;
 vehicle VIN number;
 vehicle, other descriptive information.
When the vehicle with an ATSVR system is in another country and the information of the vehicle’s position is
received in the home country, the SOC sends this information to its partner in the relevant country.
The receiving partner SOC informs the local LEA in accordance with national regulations.

7 Procedures
7.1 Procedure for the System Operating Centre (ATSVR SOC)
7.1.1 General
Figure 2 shows a schematic representation of the procedure for a SOC upon receipt of a missing vehicle call.



Figure 2 — Schematic representation of the procedure for a SOC upon receipt of a missing vehicle call
A SOC is notified that the vehicle has gone missing by the owner or by a call generated by the vehicle. This
SOC verifies the facts with the owner and records the contents of the vehicle and any other (external)
particulars.
Only when it is certain that the owner has confirmed the vehicle is missing, is a message sent to the regional
incident room of a LEA. The choice of the LEA depends upon the location of the vehicle and any national
procedures. The selection should be made on the basis of a ‘relation chart’ in which the relation is made
between the name of every town and the LEA region within which the town is situated. The owner is instructed
to report the theft to the LEA. This formal report depends on the requirements of the law in each country.
If the vehicle in question is moving, the SOC should provide information about the position, direction in which
it is being driven and speed to the LEA. The frequency of new information or the use of continuous
commentary will be determined by the LEA according to the level of LEA response and the type of ATSVR
system. The LEA then take over the co-ordination of any (inter) regional deployment.
