Intelligent transport systems - After-theft systems for the recovery of stolen vehicles - Part 2: Common status message elements

This European Standard 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 EN 15213 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 EN 15213 aims to identify the main elements and illustrate the data concepts and way forward.

Intelligente Transportsysteme - Systeme für das Wiederfinden gestohlener Fahrzeuge - Teil 2: Bestandteile allgemeiner Statusmitteilungen

Diese Europäische Norm legt die grundlegenden Strukturen von Statusmitteilungen oder Informationen fest, die zusammengefügt werden, um allgemeine Mitteilungssätze zu erzeugen, wie sie in einem System zum Wiederfinden gestohlener Fahrzeuge zum Austausch von Informationen verwendet werden.
Die Teile 3, 4 und 5 von EN 15213 legen den Inhalt dieser Mitteilungen fest. Sie sind so ausgelegt, dass alle gegenwärtig ermittelten Informationen in einem eindeutigen Format aufgenommen werden können, während es zugleich möglich ist, zukünftig erforderliche oder verfügbare, zusätzliche Informationen aufzunehmen.
Auf diese Mitteilungsbestandteile kann des Weiteren eindeutig verwiesen werden und sie können in einer einfachen Sprache zur Übertragung mittels Stimme, Fax oder Email beschrieben werden. Die Daten für eine elektronische Übertragung können auf gleiche Art in XML kodiert werden.
Normen zur automatischen Erkennung von Fahrzeugen (AVI) und Ausrüstung (AEI) werden durch CEN/TC 278/WG 12 parallel zu EN ISO 14814 entwickelt. Diese ATSVR-Norm beeinträchtigt jene Arbeit nicht und versucht nicht, Parameter für zukünftige AVI-/AEI-Normen zu erstellen. DSRC- und AVI-Normen werden als grundlegende Technologieblöcke für Typen von Nahbereichs-ATSVR verstanden.
Ziel dieses Teils der EN 15213 ist es, Hauptbestandteile festzulegen, Datenkonzepte darzustellen und richtungsweisend zu sein.

La présente Norme européenne spécifie la structure de base des éléments de message, ou éléments d’information, qui sont réunis pour former des jeux communs de messages utilisés pour l’échange d’informations dans un Système intervenant après un vol pour la récupération des véhicules (ATSVR).
Les parties 3, 4 et 5 de l’EN 15213 définissent le contenu de ces messages. La conception est telle que toutes les informations réellement identifiées peuvent être inclues dans un format explicite, tout en permettant à des éléments supplémentaires d’être inclus s’ils sont nécessaires ou s’ils deviennent disponibles à l’avenir.
Ces éléments de message peuvent aussi être cités en référence de manière unique et décrits dans un langage simple pour la transmission par téléphone, télécopie ou courrier électronique. De même, les données peuvent être codées en langage XML pour la transmission électronique.
Les normes relatives à l'Identification automatique des véhicules/équipements (AVI/AEI, Automatic Vehicle Identification/Automatic Equipment Identification) sont en cours d’élaboration par le groupe de travail 12 du comité technique CEN/TC 278 en parallèle avec l’EN ISO 14814. La présente norme ATVSR ne compromet pas ce travail et ne cherche pas à établir des paramètres pour les futures normes AVI/AEI. Les normes DSRC et AVI sont considérées comme des blocs de technologie de base pour des types de systèmes ATSVR à courte portée.
La présente partie de l’EN 15213 a pour objet d’identifier les éléments principaux et d’illustrer les concepts de données et les développements futurs.

Inteligentni transportni sistemi - Sistemi za odkrivanje ukradenih vozil - 2. del: Elementi splošnega poročila o stanju

Ta evropski standard določa osnovno sestavo elementov poročila ali drobcev informacij, združenih za oblikovanje nizov splošnih poročil, ki se uporabljajo pri izmenjavi informacij v sistemih za odkrivanje ukradenih vozil. Deli 3, 4 in 5 standarda EN 15213 določajo vsebino teh poročil. Oblika je taka, da je mogoče vse trenutno identificirane informacije vključit v nedvoumen format, in hkrati omogoča vključevanje dodatnih elementov, če bi bilo to potrebno ali če bi postalo na voljo v prihodnosti. Te elemente poročila se lahko navaja na poseben način in so opisani v običajnem jeziku za prenos prek glasovne pošte, telefaksa ali e-pošte. Prav tako se lahko podatki zakodirajo v jezik XML za elektronski prenos. Standarde za samodejno identifikacijo vozila (AVI) in samodejno identifikacijo opreme (AEI) pripravlja odbor CEN/TC 278/WG 12 v skladu z EN ISO 14814. Ta standard ATSVR ne vpliva na delo odbora in njegov namen ni določitev parametrov za prihodnje standarde AVI/AEI. Standardi DSRC in AVI se obravnavajo kot tehnološka osnova za vrste sistemov ATSVR kratkega dosega. Namen tega dela EN 15213 je identifikacija glavnih elementov ter prikaz podatkovnih konceptov in pot naprej.

Overview

EN 15213-2:2013 is a CEN European Standard for intelligent transport systems (ITS), specifically addressing after-theft systems for the recovery of stolen vehicles (ATSVR). This part (Part 2) specifies the basic structure and coding of common status message elements - the items of information used when exchanging data between Systems Operating Centres (SOC), Law Enforcement Agencies (LEA) and other stakeholders. The standard defines unambiguous, extensible message elements that can be transmitted as plain language (voice, fax, e‑mail) or encoded electronically (XML/ASN.1), enabling interoperability across different technologies and jurisdictions.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Message element structure: Messages are built from a sequence of data elements preceded by identifiers (RTTT Sector Identifier, RTTT Application Identifier, Coding Structure Identifier) to enable clear parsing and chaining of elements.
• Encoding rules: Designed per ISO/IEC principles (referencing ASN.1 concepts) to allow flexible composition and extensibility of complex data structures.
• Data element catalogue: Normative list of elements (examples: date/time, dynamic location, vehicle VIN, licence plate, vehicle descriptors, incident/report details, SOC/LEA identifiers).
• Character and numeric formats:
  • Characters encoded in ASCII.
  • Date format: YYYYMMDD; Time format: YYYYMMDDhhmm (UTC default) with explicit time‑zone indicator (e.g. “+01”).
  • Numeric notations include decimal, hexadecimal and binary conventions.
• Alphabet indicator: Field to specify character set (Latin, Cyrillic, Arabic, BMP, etc.).
• Interoperability considerations: Compatibility allowance with AVI/AEI work, and short‑range technologies like DSRC.
• Data protection: Requires compliance with Council of Europe data protection principles (Convention 1981, Recommendation R(87)15) and relevant national privacy laws.

Practical applications

• Standardizes status messages exchanged during vehicle theft reporting, tracking and recovery workflows.
• Enables cross‑border information sharing between SOCs and LEAs for more effective recovery operations.
• Supports integration of telematics providers, OEMs, insurers and fleet managers into interoperable ATSVR ecosystems.
• Allows implementation via plain language (for manual handovers) or structured electronic formats (XML, ASN.1) for automated systems.

Who should use this standard

• ITS and telematics system architects and integrators
• Vehicle OEMs and telematics device manufacturers
• SOC operators, law enforcement IT teams and police agencies
• Insurance telematics and vehicle‑recovery service providers
• Standards developers and national authorities implementing ATSVR services

This European Standard 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 European Standard 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 European Standard refers to the potential development of systems to enable law enforcement agencies to remotely slow and/or stop the engines of stolen vehicles. This situation remains and further information is available in 2012 CEN publication N2643 Feasibility Report on Remote Slow and Stop Technology, available from CEN/TC 278.
This document should be read in conjunction with EN 15213-1 which provides the preliminary framework for ATSVR concepts.

Road Traffic and Transport Telematics 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; 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; SIST EN 15213-2:2013

EXAMPLE 1 For a data content field of 6 bytes or octets: RTTT sector Identifier
(to be found)

All data shall be kept in accordance with the data protection principles set out by the Council of Europe Convention on 28th January 1981 and shall take account of Recommendation R(87)15 of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe 17th September 1987 concerning the use of personal data in the police sector. There are some variations in requirements across EU member states. Therefore, the data shall also be kept in accordance with the national data protection requirements of the country where the data originates and the country where the data is stored.
