What is BS EN 1545-1 - Identification card systems for transport applications about?
BS EN 1545 is a European Standard discusses identification card systems for surface transport applications. BS EN 1545-1 specifies data formats, data elements, data types and data elements with associated codelists for general use within surface transport applications on identification card systems.
Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) has been used in the definition of data types in BS EN 1545-1. BS EN 1545-1 provides a comprehensive toolbox of data elements and types as the basis for the creation of data structures to be used in surface transport applications.
Note: The mechanism for how to establish the application context, including the decision of which encoding rules to use, is not covered by BS EN 1545-1.
Who is BS EN 1545-1 - Identification card systems for transport applications for?
BS EN 1545-1 on Identification card systems for transport applications is useful for:
- Transport/Travel service providers and operators
- Transport industries
- Design engineers
- Software companies/ IT firms
- Transport authorities
Why should you use BS EN 1545-1 - Identification card systems for transport applications?
Identification card systems offer greater opportunities for use in surface transport applications when compared to magnetic stripe and barcoded cards. The standardization of data elements in BS EN 1545-1, facilitates the use of Identification card systems across multiple transport applications and operators, and in a variety of transport related terminals.
BS EN 1545-1 also permits application builders to minimize data duplication. BS EN 1545-1 contains definitions of data formats, data elements, data types and specifies data elements with associated codelists. It is for use in the creation of surface transport related data structures that may reside on a transport application.
