Electronic fee collection - Personalization of on-board equipment (OBE) - Part 1: Framework (ISO 21719-1:2026)

This document establishes a framework and specifies electronic fee collection (EFC) functions for the personalization process of on-board equipment (OBE) used for EFC.
The personalization process takes place within the domain of the entity that is responsible for the application in the OBE.
This document is applicable to the EFC interface, e.g. using dedicated short-range communication or integrated circuit(s) card, between the personalization equipment (PE) and OBE as shown in Figure 1.
This document does not cover the following:
whether the personalization functionality resides completely in the PE or whether this functionality instead resides in a central system, where the PE is more or less “transparent”;
the exact application command or message structures for the EFC personalization functionality (these are dependent on the communication media and are described in subsequent parts of the ISO 21719 series);
the test procedures for evaluation of an implementation for conformity to the requirements in this document;
setting-up of operating organizations (e.g. toll service provider, personalization agent, trusted third party).
NOTE            Some of the issues listed above are subject to separate documents prepared by ISO/TC 204, CEN/TC 278 and the European Telecommunications Standards Institute – Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio Spectrum Matters (ETSI ERM).

Elektronsko pobiranje pristojbin - Personalizacija (prilagajanje) opreme vozil - 1. del: Okvir (ISO 21719-1:2026)

Ta dokument vzpostavlja okvir in določa funkcije elektronskega pobiranja pristojbin (EFC) za proces personalizacije vgrajene opreme (OBE), ki se uporablja za EFC.
Proces personalizacije poteka v okviru entitete, ki je odgovorna za aplikacijo v OBE.
Ta dokument se nanaša na EFC vmesnik, npr. z uporabo namenske kratkosevalne komunikacije ali integriranih vezij (IC) kartice, med opremo za personalizacijo (PE) in OBE, kot je prikazano na sliki 1.
Ta dokument ne zajema naslednjega:
- ali funkcionalnost personalizacije v celoti pripada PE ali pa ta funkcionalnost namesto tega pripada centralnemu sistemu, kjer je PE bolj ali manj "transparenten";
- natančne strukture aplikacijskih ukazov ali sporočil za funkcionalnost personalizacije EFC (te so odvisne od komunikacijskih medijev in so opisane v naslednjih delih serije ISO 21719);
- postopkov testiranja za oceno skladnosti implementacije z zahtevami v tem dokumentu;
- vzpostavitve operativnih organizacij (npr. ponudnik cestnin, agent za personalizacijo, zaupanja vredna tretja oseba).

Overview

SIST EN ISO 21719-1:2026 sets a foundational framework for the personalization of on-board equipment (OBE) used in electronic fee collection (EFC) systems. Developed by CEN and aligned with ISO 21719-1:2026, this standard defines the essential functions and security procedures required when configuring OBE with user or vehicle-specific data. The document focuses on the personalization interface between the personalization equipment (PE) and the OBE, supporting interoperability and secure asset transfer across various EFC applications, such as road tolling and compliance verification.

The standard does not specify technical communication details, test procedures, or operational models for involved organizations, deferring such specifics to later parts of the ISO 21719 series or companion standards.

Key Topics

• Personalization Process:
  The standard outlines the process for customizing OBE with necessary data, including payment information, vehicle identification, application keys, and security credentials.

• Scope of Personalization:
  Personalization occurs within the domain of the entity responsible for the OBE application (e.g., toll service provider). The process involves securely writing specific data into the OBE, ensuring its readiness for use within defined tolling or EFC environments.

• Core Functions and Security:
  The standard introduces a set of basic EFC personalization functions, with security features to prevent unauthorized access and ensure data integrity:

  • Write functionality for recording personalization assets
  • Access control to validate the origin of personalization commands
  • Application data encryption during transfer
  • Authenticators for both requests and responses to verify data integrity

• Interface Requirements:
  The focus is on the technical interface between PE and OBE. Communication may occur via dedicated short-range communications or integrated circuit cards, supporting flexibility across different EFC deployment scenarios.

Applications

SIST EN ISO 21719-1:2026 applies to a variety of intelligent transport system (ITS) and electronic tolling scenarios, where secure and efficient OBE personalization is essential. Its use cases include:

• Road Tolling Systems:
  Ensures each vehicle's OBE is uniquely programmed for proper toll recognition and billing.

• Multi-application OBEs:
  Supports OBEs that handle several ITS functions, including compliance checking and localization, by managing multiple application instances and assets.

• Outsourced Personalization:
  The standardized framework makes it possible for toll service providers to outsource OBE personalization to third parties, enhancing operational flexibility.

• Security-critical Environments:
  By emphasizing secure data transfer and access controls, the standard is suitable for environments where data integrity and privacy are paramount.

Related Standards

Adopting SIST EN ISO 21719-1:2026 is facilitated by referencing and aligning with several important standards:

• ISO 14906: Electronic fee collection-Application interface
• EN 15509: EFC-Interoperability application profile for DSRC
• ISO 12813 / ISO 13141: OBE requirements for EFC using different communication media
• ISO 17573-2: EFC system architecture and vocabulary
• CEN/TR 16152: Guidance on the OBE personalization process
• Other parts of the ISO 21719 series: Detailing communication media and implementation specifics

Organizations implementing EFC or managing OBEs benefit from the interoperability, security, and clarity brought by SIST EN ISO 21719-1:2026-enabling streamlined, reliable, and future-proof deployment of electronic tolling and road usage charging systems.
