What is ISO/TS 19468 - Intelligent transport systems about?
ISO/TS 19468 defines, and specifies component facets supporting the exchange and shared use of data and information in the field of traffic, and travel. The component facets include the framework, and context for exchanges, the data content, structure, and relationships necessary, and the communications specification, in such a way that they are independent from any defined technical platform.
ISO/TS 19468 establishes specifications for data exchange between any two instances of the following actors:
- Traffic Information Centres (TIC)
- Traffic Control Centres/Traffic Management Centres (TCC/TMC)
- Service Providers (SP)
ISO/TS 19468 can be applied for use by other actors, e.g. car park operators. ISO/TS 19468 includes the following types of information:
- The use cases, and associated requirements, and features relative to different exchange situations
- The different functional exchange profiles
- The abstract elements for protocols
- The data model for exchange
Who is ISO/TS 19468 - Intelligent transport systems for?
ISO/TS 19468 on intelligent transport systems is useful for:
- Traffic Information Centres (TIC)
- Traffic Control Centres/Traffic Management Centres (TCC/TMC)
- Service Providers (SP)
- Car park operators
Why should you use ISO/TS 19468 - Intelligent transport systems?
ISO/TS 19468 defines a common set of data exchange specifications to support the vision of a seamless interoperable exchange of traffic, and travel information across boundaries, including national, urban, interurban, road administrations, infrastructure providers, and service providers. Standardisation in this context is a vital constituent to ensure interoperability, reduction of risk, reduction of the cost base, promotion of open marketplaces, and many social, economic, and community benefits to be gained from more informed travellers, network managers, and transport operators.
ISO/TS 19468 supports a methodology that is extensible. ISO/TS 19468 specifies the process of defining the exchange characteristics by use case-driven feature selection of relevant parameters for the relevant OSI layers as defined in ISO 21217.
