What is ISO/TS 16785 about?
ISO/TS 16785 defines an application interface between DSRC-OBE (Dedicated Short-Range Communication On-board Equipment) and an external in-vehicle device to make DSRC-OBE applicable for diversified external devices.
ISO/TS 16785 covers definitions of the application interface between DSRC-OBE and external devices, including global navigation satellite system (GNSS), cellular network (CN), controller area network (CAN) device, and data groups and data elements.
ISO/TS 16785 describes tolling model with the external in-vehicle devices, definitions of data groups and data elements, and data type definition and implementation conformance statement (ICS) proforma.
Who is ISO/TS 16785 for?
ISO/TS 16785 on electronic fee collection is useful for:
- Toll chargers and service providers
- Toll service users
- Electronic fee collection systems
- Information security systems
- Quality assurance tests organizations
Why should you use ISO/TS 16785?
The road tolling policy has spread to other than conventional toll road tolling such as funding for road infrastructure management and maintenance, environmental measures, and traffic management. Specifically, in order to accommodate the widespread use of low-fuel-consumption and electric vehicles, introduction of road use tolling instead of fuel tax, congestion tolling on urban roads and inter-urban roads is planned and implemented in ISO/TS 16785.
ISO/TS 16785 provides you with support for enhanced functionalities of DSRC-OBE (Dedicated Short-Range Communication On-board Equipment) by means of external in-vehicle devices.
Where dedicated short-range communication (DSRC)-based electronic fee collection systems are widely deployed, upgrading and extension of the schemes, to include presently non-toll roads become a significant issue to be considered and solved. ISO/TS 16785 describes how DSRC-based electronic fee collection systems, especially on-board equipment (OBE), can be enhanced to meet these needs.
