Intelligent transport systems - Traffic and travel information via transport protocol experts group, generation 1 (TPEG1) binary data format - Part 2: Syntax, semantics and framing structure (TPEG1-SSF) (ISO/TS 18234-2:2013)

This Technical Specification establishes the method of referencing used within a TPEG data-stream to allow a service provider to signal availability of the same service on another bearer channel or similar service data from another service. TPEG is a byte-oriented stream format, which may be carried on almost any digital bearer with an appropriate adaptation layer. TPEG messages are delivered from service providers to end-users, and are used to transfer application data from the database of a service provider to a user’s equipment. The protocol is structured in a layered manner and employs a general purpose framing system which is adaptable and extensible, and which carries frames of variable length. This has been designed with the capability of explicit frame length identification at nearly all levels, giving greater flexibility and integrity, and permitting the modification of the protocol and the addition of new features without disturbing the operation of earlier client decoder models.

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 18234-2 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee
CEN/TC 278, Road transport and traffic telematics, in collaboration with ISO Technical Committee
ISO/TC 204, Intelligent transport systems, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation
between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).

Introduction
TPEG technology uses a byte-oriented data stream format, which may be carried on almost any digital bearer
with an appropriate adaptation layer. TPEG messages are delivered from service providers to end-users, and
are used to transfer application data from the database of a service provider to a user’s equipment.
This Technical Specification describes the Service and Network Information Application, which provides a
means of informing end-users about all possible services and their content which are considered relevant by a
service provider to either provide continuity of his services or inform the end-user about other related services.
As stated in the design criteria, TPEG is a bearer independent system. Therefore some rules are established
for the relation of information contents of the same service on different bearers. Also the mechanisms for
following a certain service on one single bearer have to be defined. For the receiver it is essential to find an
adjacent or similar service if it leaves the current reception area. Nonetheless, basic information describing the
service itself is necessary. For the ease of the user, e.g. the service name, the service provider name, the
operating time and many other hints are delivered by the TPEG-SNI application.
General models for the hand-over and the referencing of services are developed and shown in detail. It is
important to note that this Technical Specification is closely related to ISO/TS 18234-3 and thus they are
dependent upon each other and must be used together.
The brief history of TPEG technology development dates back to the European Broadcasting Union (EBU)
Broadcast Management Committee establishing the B/TPEG project group in autumn 1997 with the mandate
to develop, as soon as possible, a new protocol for broadcasting traffic and travel-related information in the
multimedia environment. TPEG technology, its applications and service features are designed to enable
travel-related messages to be coded, decoded, filtered and understood by humans (visually and/or audibly in
the user’s language) and by agent systems.
One year later in December 1998, the B/TPEG group produced its first EBU specifications. Two Technical
Specifications were released. ISO/TS 18234-2, this document, described the Syntax, Semantics and Framing
Structure, which is used for all TPEG applications. ISO/TS 18234-4 (TPEG-RTM) described the first
application, for Road Traffic Messages.
Subsequently, CEN/TC 278/WG 4, in conjunction with ISO/TC 204, established a project group comprising the
members of B/TPEG and they have continued the work concurrently since March 1999. Since then two further
parts were developed to make the initial complete set of four parts, enabling the implementation of a
consistent service. ISO/TS 18234-3 (TPEG-SNI) describes the Service and Network Information Application,
which should be used by all service implementations to ensure appropriate referencing from one service
source to another. ISO/TS 18234-1 (TPEG-INV), completes the series, by describing the other parts and their
relationship; it also contains the application IDs used within the other parts.
In April 2000, the B/TPEG group released revised Parts 1 to 4, all four parts having been reviewed and
updated in the light of initial implementation results. Thus a consistent suite of specifications, ready for wide
scale implementation, was submitted to the CEN/ISO commenting process.
In November 2001, after extensive response to the comments received and from many internally suggested
improvements, all four parts were completed for the next stage: the Parallel Formal Vote in CEN and ISO. But
a major step forward has been to develop the so-called TPEG-Loc location referencing method, which
enables both map-based TPEG-decoders and non map-based ones to deliver either map-based location
referencing or human readable information. ISO/TS 18234-6 is now a separate specification and is used in
association with the other parts of ISO/TS 18234 to provide comprehensive location referencing. Additionally,
ISO/TS 18234-5, has been developed and been through the commenting process.
This Technical Specification provides a full specification to the primitives used, framing, time calculation,
numbers and to specific rules such as CRC calculation.

During the development of the TPEG technology a number of versions have been documented and various
trials implemented using various versions of the specifications. At the time of the publication of this Technical
Specification, all parts are fully inter-workable and no specific dependencies exist.
This Technical Specification has the technical version number TPEG-SSF_3.0/003.

Intelligent transport systems — Traffic and travel information

binary data format —
Part 2:
Syntax, semantics and framing structure (TPEG1-SSF)
1 Scope
This Technical Specification establishes the method of referencing used within a TPEG data-stream to allow a
service provider to signal availability of the same service on another bearer channel or similar service data
from another service.
TPEG is a byte-oriented stream format, which may be carried on almost any digital bearer with an appropriate
adaptation layer. TPEG messages are delivered from service providers to end-users, and are used to transfer
application data from the database of a service provider to a user’s equipment.
The protocol is structured in a layered manner and employs a general purpose framing system which is
adaptable and extensible, and which carries frames of variable length. This has been designed with the
capability of explicit frame length identification at nearly all levels, giving greater flexibility and integrity, and
permitting the modification of the protocol and the addition of new features without disturbing the operation of
earlier client decoder models.
