BS ISO 14827-1:2005

Transport information and control systems. Data interfaces between centres for transport information and control systems. Message definition requirements | Status: Current, Confirmed

1 Scope This part of ISO 14827 defines the format that should be used to document those end-application messages that are to be exchanged between and among central systems. The format is protocol-independent to the extent practical. For example, this one format can be used to define data exchanges that may apply to DATEX-ASN, CORBA, or other application protocols. In general, each system can be viewed as consisting of the interfaces as shown in Figure 1: Figure 1 — System interface

NOTE The communications cloud between the systems may be complex or simple.

1 application interface 2 operator interface 3 communication interface 4 database interface 5 communications cloud 6 client system 7 server system This part of ISO 14827 deals only with the communication interface and is at a very high level. Other parts define how end-application messages can be exchanged using various application layerprotocols. While this part of ISO 14827 has been designed to meet the unique requirements of a TICS environment, it has been designed in a generic fashion and thus could be used for other data exchanges as well.
