BS ISO 15638-12:2014

This standard BS ISO 15638-12:2014 Intelligent transport systems. Framework for cooperative telematics applications for regulated vehicles (TARV) is classified in these ICS categories:

• 03.220.20 Road transport
• 35.240.60 IT applications in transport

This part of ISO 15638 addresses the provision of vehicle mass monitoring (VMM) (4.52) and specifies the form and content of such data required to support such systems, and access methods (4.1) to that data.

The scope of this part of ISO 15638 is to provide specifications (4.44) for common communications and data exchange aspects of the application service (4.3) VMM (4.53) that a regulator (4.30) can elect to require or support as an option, including the following

1. high level definition of the service that a service provider (4.42) has to provide, (The service definition describes common service elements; but does not define the detail of how such an application service (4.3) is instantiated, not the acceptable value ranges of the data concepts defined),

2. means to realize the service, and

3. application data, naming content and quality that an IVS (4.26) has to deliver.

The definition of what comprises a “regulated” service is regarded as an issue for national decision, and can vary from jurisdiction (4.29) to jurisdiction (4.29). This International Standard does not impose any requirements on nations in respect of which services for regulated commercial freight vehicles (4.40) jurisdictions (4.29) will require, or support as an option, but provides standardized sets of requirements descriptions for identified services to enable consistent and cost-efficient implementations where instantiated.

ISO 15638 has been developed for use in the context of regulated commercial freight vehicles (4.40) (hereinafter, referred to as “regulated vehicles” (4.40). There is nothing, however, to prevent a jurisdiction (4.29) extending or adapting the scope to include other types of regulated vehicles (4.40), as it deems appropriate.
