Road transport and traffic telematics - After-theft systems for the recovery of stolen vehicles - Part 2: Common status message elements

This document specifies the basic structure of the message elements, or items of information, that are put together to form the common message sets used in exchanging information in an After Theft System for Vehicle Recovery.
Parts 3, 4 and 5 of CEN/TS 15213 will define the content of these messages. The design is such that all currently identified information can be included in an unambiguous format, while allowing for additional items to be included should they either be required in the future or become available in the future.
These message elements can also be referenced in a unique manner and described in plain language for transmission by voice, fax or e-mail. Similarly the data can be encoded in XML language for electronic transmission.
Standards for Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) and Automatic Equipment Identification (AEI) are being developed by CEN/TC 278 WG 12 in parallel with EN ISO 14814. This ATSVR standard does not prejudice that work and does not seek to establish parameters for future AVI/AEI standards. DSRC and AVI standards are seen as the basic technology blocks for types of short-range ATSVR systems.
This part of CEN/TS 15213 aims to identify the main elements and illustrate the data concepts and way forward.

Introduction
This document 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 comprised representatives and experts from police, insurance associations (CEA), car manufacturers,
transport associations, vehicle rental associations and ATSVR system and product providers. The work was
also in cooperation with Europol and the European Police Cooperation Working Group (EPCWG).
This document was developed to define an architecture within guidelines from CEN/TC 278 through which a
level of interoperability can be achieved between Systems Operating Centres (SOC) and Law Enforcement
Agencies (LEA), both nationally and internationally.
This will provide minimum standards of information and assurance to users as to the functionality of systems,
thereby enabling the recovery of vehicles, detection of offenders and a reduction in crime.
This document should be read in conjunction with CEN/TS 15213-1 which provides the preliminary framework
for ATSVR concepts.

1 Scope
This document specifies the basic structure of the message elements, or items of information, that are put
together to form the common message sets used in exchanging information in an After Theft System for
Vehicle Recovery.
Parts 3, 4 and 5 of CEN/TS 15213 will define the content of these messages. The design is such that all
currently identified information can be included in an unambiguous format, while allowing for additional items
to be included should they either be required in the future or become available in the future.
These message elements can also be referenced in a unique manner and described in plain language for
transmission by voice, fax or e-mail. Similarly the data can be encoded in XML language for electronic
transmission.
Standards for Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) and Automatic Equipment Identification (AEI) are being
developed by CEN/TC 278 WG 12 in parallel with EN ISO 14814. This ATSVR standard does not prejudice
that work and does not seek to establish parameters for future AVI/AEI standards. DSRC and AVI standards
are seen as the basic technology blocks for types of short-range ATSVR systems.
This part of CEN/TS 15213 aims to identify the main elements and illustrate the data concepts and way
forward.

6 Requirements
6.1 General requirements
The coding structure defined in this document is an enabling structure. It is designed to allow combinations of
data elements to be used in composite data structures. It is designed to allow as much interoperability of the
data elements as possible. Data elements may be of any length and may be combined in many ways.
This document recognises that there will be systems of different capability that should be interoperable, even
though the systems may be significantly different. Even where information is obtained by a proprietary system,
the data, once collected, is held in a common interoperable format and so may be accurately and confidently
used.
The document has been designed according to the principles of ISO/IEC 8825-2. The encoding rules enable
the chaining of multiple data elements to build complex data structures
The structure is built from a series of data elements that identify:
a) First the Sector Identifier indicating that it is an RTTT data structure.
b) Second the RTTT Application Identifier.
c) Third the Coding structure Identifier.

SIST-TS CEN/TS 15213-2:2006
CEN/TS 15213-2:2006 (E)
d) Fourth (et seq.) the data elements.
By adopting this document, some degree of compatibility can be achieved with AVI and AEI existing standards.
The overall coding structure shall:
 be unambiguous and flexible enough to include relevant numbering structures;
 follow relevant standards;
 provide an exact coding of the data elements;
 be extendable to enable future expansion;
 be able to accommodate private structures.
6.2 Data structure
This subclause refers to a future general ASN.1 coding structure standard being developed by CEN/TC 278.
When this document is available, this subclause will be replaced.
The schematic of the ASN.1 Message is:
RTTT RTTT Coding
CS Data
Sector Length Application Length structure Length

A.4 Dynamic Data, Descriptive Location
A.4.1 Function
The function of this field is to describe a location by reference to visual landmarks apparent to an observer at
that location. It may include reference to road numbers allocated by Government e.g.: A1234. It may include
distances from landmarks. The text description will be in ASCII characters. A road Intersection is regarded as
two road descriptors. A relative position is regarded as range and bearing to a Geographic Location. If
required, because of the complexity of describing a location or route, more than one dynamic data, descriptive
location, elements can be included in one message.

Direction will be given as a true bearing or 8-point compass.
When given as a bearing it will be three numeric characters coded as ASCII characters. The bearing is strictly
relative to the ellipsoid used in calculating the position. For practical purposes the differences will be small
and will be ignored. Thus a single value in whole degrees, 0 to 359, will be allowed.
When given as an 8-point compass a single ASCII numeric character will be used, value 0 to 7, zero is north
and increment clockwise. For example:
Direction Value English French German ….

A.6 Dynamic Data, Geographic Location
A.6.1 Function
The function of this field is to describe a location in geographic co-ordinates and will include the frame of
reference of those co-ordinates. E.g. latitude and longitude may be given together with the figure of the earth
(e.g. WGS84). If given in Grid format, then it will include reference to the grid origin (e.g. OSGB36).
