What is ISO 18561-1 about?
ISO 18561-1 provides guidelines for providing mobility information according to user preference on-demand, utilizing a variety of existing applications on nomadic devices related to different means of transport.
ISO 18561-1 defines an integrated mobility information platform as a service methodology to be integrated with a variety of mobile apps with respect to different transport modes.
ISO 18561-1 defines the following urban mobility applications:
- Guidance documents to facilitate the practical implementation of identified standards in the transportation planning process, including related use cases
- Provision of urban mobility information integrated with a variety of mobile apps on nomadic devices by multiple transport modes for collecting trip production and attraction data
- Modal choice data-based on-time effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and eco-effectiveness in the trip distribution from origins to destinations
Who is ISO 18561-1 for?
ISO 18561-1 on intelligent transport systems (ITS) is relevant to:
- Urban mobility applications developer
- Traffic regulation department
- ITS station operators and installers
- Regulatory bodies
Why should you use ISO 18561-1?
A roadside ITS station system installed at the roadside that receives and processes vehicular and pedestrian information within a certain zone and determines the situation in order to provide safety warnings and parking guidance to vehicles and pedestrians.
ISO 18561-1 is intended to facilitate the development, promotion and standardization of the use of nomadic and portable devices to support intelligent transport systems (ITS) service provision and multimedia use, such as passenger information, automotive information, driver advisory and warning systems and entertainment system interfaces to ITS service providers and motor vehicle communication networks.
ISO 18561-1 provides the application and specification for standardizing transportation management as a form of ITS in urban transportation networks to improve eco-mobility and sustainability.
ISO 18561-1 fosters the introduction of multimedia and telematics nomadic devices in the public transport and automotive world. These ITS technologies can increase operational efficiencies and unlock enhanced transportation safety and eco-mobility applications. Via nomadic devices, the urban mobility applications build on existing transportation planning processes, including trip generation, trip distribution and modal choices with respect to extended measures of effectiveness (MOE) in transportation models, such as time effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and green (eco)effectiveness.
Through ISO 18561-1, the nomadic device is presented as a personal ITS station in order to communicate with the other stations, including vehicle, roadway infrastructures and centres for defining the requirements for interfaces between the stations in urban mobility applications to accommodate the specific needs of eco-mobility in a smart city.
