Electronic fee collection - Compliance check communication for autonomous systems (ISO 12813:2015)
ISO 12813:2015 defines requirements for short-range communication for the purposes of compliance checking in autonomous electronic fee-collecting systems. Compliance checking communication (CCC) takes place between a road vehicle's on-board equipment (OBE) and an outside interrogator (road-side mounted equipment, mobile device or hand-held unit), and serves to establish whether the data that are delivered by the OBE correctly reflect the road usage of the corresponding vehicle according to the rules of the pertinent toll regime.
The operator of the compliance checking interrogator is assumed to be part of the toll charging role as defined in ISO 17573. The CCC permits identification of the OBE, vehicle and contract, and verification of whether the driver has fulfilled his obligations and the checking status and performance of the OBE. The CCC reads, but does not write, OBE data.
ISO 12813:2015 is applicable to OBE in an autonomous mode of operation; it is not applicable to compliance checking in dedicated short-range communication (DSRC)-based charging systems.
It defines data syntax and semantics, but does not define a communication sequence. All the attributes defined herein are required in any OBE claimed to be compliant with this International Standard, even if some values are set to "not defined" in cases where certain functionality is not present in an OBE. The interrogator is free to choose which attributes are read, as well as the sequence in which they are read. In order to achieve compatibility with existing systems, the communication makes use of the attributes defined in ISO 14906 wherever useful.
The CCC is suitable for a range of short-range communication media. Specific definitions are given for the CEN-DSRC as specified in EN 15509, as well as for the use of ISO CALM IR, the Italian DSRC as specified in ETSI ES 200 674-1 and ARIB DSRC as alternatives to the CEN-DSRC. The attributes and functions defined are for compliance checking by means of the DSRC communication services provided by DSRC layer 7, with the CCC attributes and functions made available to the CCC applications at the road-side equipment (RSE) and OBE. The attributes and functions are defined on the level of application data units (ADU).
Elektronische Gebührenerhebung - Kommunikation zur Übereinstimmungsprüfung für autonome Systeme (ISO 12813:2015)
Perception du télépéage - Communication de contrôle de conformité pour systèmes autonomes (ISO 12813:2015)
ISO 12813:2015 définit les exigences relatives aux communications à courte portée aux fins de contrôle de conformité dans les systèmes de perception du télépéage autonomes. La communication de contrôle de conformité (CCC, Compliance Checking Communication) survient entre l'équipement embarqué (OBE) d'un véhicule routier et un interrogateur externe (équipement routier, appareil mobile ou dispositif portable) et permet de déterminer si les données fournies par l'équipement embarqué reflètent correctement l'usage du réseau routier du véhicule correspondant selon les règles du régime de péage applicable.
L'exploitant de l'interrogateur de contrôle de conformité est supposé occuper le rôle Perception du péage défini dans l'ISO 17573. L'application CCC permet d'identifier l'équipement embarqué, le véhicule et le contrat, de vérifier que le conducteur a bien rempli ses obligations et de déterminer l'état de fonctionnement et la performance de l'équipement embarqué. L'application CCC lit, mais n'écrit pas les données de l'équipement embarqué.
ISO 12813:2015 s'applique aux équipements embarqués autonomes; elle ne s'applique pas au contrôle de conformité dans les systèmes de taxation reposant sur des communications dédiées à courte portée (DSRC).
Elle définit la syntaxe et la sémantique des données, mais ne définit pas de séquence de communication. Tous les attributs définis dans le présent document sont exigés dans tout équipement embarqué revendiqué conforme à la présente Norme, même si certaines valeurs sont définies comme étant « non définies » dans les cas où certaines fonctionnalités ne sont pas présentes dans un équipement embarqué donné. L'interrogateur est libre de choisir quels attributs sont lus, ainsi que l'ordre dans lequel ils sont lus. Afin de permettre la compatibilité avec les systèmes existants, la communication utilise les attributs définis dans l'ISO 14906 dès que possible.
L'application CCC convient à une gamme de supports de communication à courte portée. Des définitions spécifiques sont données pour la pile de communication CEN-DSRC spécifiée dans l'EN 15509, ainsi que pour l'utilisation des piles ISO CALM IR, UNI DSRC et ARIB DSRC comme alternatives à CEN-DSRC. Les attributs et fonctions définis sont destinés au contrôle de conformité via les services de communication DSRC fournis par la couche DSRC 7, à l'aide des attributs et fonctions CCC mis à la disposition des applications CCC sur l'équipement routier (RSE, Road-Side Equipment) et l'équipement embarqué. Les attributs et fonctions sont définis au niveau des unités de données d'application (ADU, Application Data Unit).
Elektronsko pobiranje pristojbin - Komunikacija za potrditev skladnosti avtonomnih sistemov (ISO 12813:2015)
Ta mednarodni standard določa zahteve za komunikacijo kratkega dosega za namene preverjanja skladnosti avtonomnih sistemov za elektronsko pobiranje pristojbin. Komunikacija za preverjanje skladnosti (CCC) poteka med opremo, vgrajeno v cestno vozilo (OBE), in zunanjim čitalnikom (ob cesti nameščena oprema, mobilna naprava ali ročna enota) ter omogoča preverjanje, ali podatki, dostavljeni v opremo, vgrajeno v cestno vozilo, pravilno odražajo uporabo ceste ustreznega vozila v skladu s pravili pristojnega režima cestninjenja.
Upravljavec čitalnika za preverjanje skladnosti se obravnava kot del postopka zaračunavanja cestnine, kot je določeno v standardu ISO 17573. Komunikacija za preverjanje skladnosti dovoljuje prepoznavanje opreme, vgrajene v cestno vozilo, vozila in pogodbe ter omogoča preverjanje tega, ali je voznik izpolnil svoje obveznosti, kakšno je stanje preverjanja in ali oprema, vgrajena v vozilo, deluje pravilno.
Komunikacija za preverjanje skladnosti omogoča branje, ne pa tudi zapisovanja podatkov opreme, vgrajene v vozilo.
Ta mednarodni standard se uporablja za opremo, vgrajeno v vozilo, v avtonomnem načinu delovanja; ne uporablja se za preverjanje skladnosti v namenskih sistemih za zaračunavanje na podlagi komunikacije kratkega dosega (DSRC).
Določa skladnjo in semantiko podatkov in ne določa komunikacijskega zaporedja. Vsi atributi, določeni v tem dokumentu, so zahtevani za katero koli opremo, vgrajeno v vozilo, ki naj bi bila v skladu s tem mednarodnim standardom, tudi če so nekatere vrednosti nastavljene kot »nedoločene« v primerih, ko oprema, vgrajena v vozilo, nima določene funkcionalnosti. Čitalnik lahko poljubno izbere atribute za branje in zaporedje, v katerem so prebrani. Za doseganje združljivosti z obstoječimi sistemi komunikacija uporablja atribute, določene v standardu ISO 14906, kjer koli je to uporabno.
Komunikacija za preverjanje skladnosti je primerna za nabor medijev za komunikacijo kratkega dosega. Posebne opredelitve so podane za CEN-DSRC, kot je določeno v standardu EN 15509, ter za uporabo standarda ISO CALM IR, italijanskega sistema namenske komunikacije kratkega dosega, kot je določeno v standardih ETSI ES 200 674-1 in ARIB DSRC kot alternativah standardu CEN-DSRC. Opredeljeni atributi in funkcije se uporabljajo za preverjanje skladnosti na podlagi zagotavljanja storitev namenske komunikacije kratkega dosega
(7. raven) z atributi in funkcijami komunikacije za preverjanje skladnosti, katerih razpoložljivost je bila omogočena za uporabo v obcestni opremi (RSE) in opremi, vgrajeni v vozilo. Atributi in funkcije so določeni na ravni aplikacijskih podatkovnih enot (ADU).
Opredelitev komunikacije za preverjanje skladnosti vključuje:
– aplikacijski vmesnik med opremo, vgrajeno v vozilo, in obcestno opremo (kot je prikazano na sliki 2);
– uporabo generične aplikacijske ravni namenske komunikacije kratkega dosega, kot je določeno v standardih ISO 15628 in EN 12834;
– uporabo sklada CEN-DSRC, kot je določeno v standardu EN 15509, ali drugih enakovrednih skladov namenske komunikacije kratkega dosega, kot je opisano v
dodatkih C, D in E;
– varnostne storitve za medsebojno preverjanje pristnosti komunikacijskih partnerjev in podpisovanje podatkov
(glejte dodatek G).
Specifikacije podatkovne vrste namenske komunikacije kratkega dosega so podane v dodatku A, proforma formalne izjave o skladnosti izvedbe protokola (PICS) v dodatku B. Primer transakcije namenske komunikacije kratkega dosega je prikazan v dodatku F. Informativni dodatek H izpostavlja, kako uporabljati ta mednarodni standard za evropske sisteme elektronskega cestninjenja (kot je opredeljeno v Odločbi Komisije 2009/750/ES).
Področje uporabe tega mednarodnega standarda ne zajema specifikacij preskusov.

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

ISO 12813:2015(E)
Introduction
On-board equipment (OBE) that uses satellite-based positioning technology to collect data required
for charging for the use of roads operates in an autonomous way (i.e. without relying on dedicated
road side infrastructure). The OBE will record the amount of road usage in all toll charging systems it
passes through.
This International Standard defines requirements for dedicated short-range communication (DSRC)
between OBE and an interrogator for the purpose of checking compliance of road use with a local toll
regime. It assumes an electronic fee collection (EFC) services architecture according to ISO 17573.

Toll chargers have the need to check whether the road is used in compliance with the rules in the local
toll regime. One way of checking compliance is to observe a passing vehicle and to interrogate the
OBE. This interrogation happens under control of an entity responsible for toll charging (see Figure 1),
accomplished via short-range communication between an interrogator at road-side or in another vehicle
(operated by a competent enforcement agency) and the OBE. In an interoperable environment, it is
essential that this interrogation communication be standardized such that every operator of compliance
checking equipment can check all passing OBE. For that purpose, this International Standard defines
attributes required on all OBE for reading by an interrogator.
This International Standard has been prepared considering the prerequisites listed below in a) to e).
a) Collected evidence must be court proof. Data must be indisputable and secured such that the
operator of the compliance checking interrogator can prove the integrity and authenticity of the
data in case of dispute.
b) The data required for compliance checking must be read only, since the operator of the interrogator
must not interfere with the working of the OBE.
c) All attributes, standardised at the time of personalisation of the OBE, should be present in the OBE
such that an operator of an interrogator essentially can read the same data from all OBE independent
of type and make. In case an attribute does not make sense in a certain OBE implementation, a
value assignment for “not applicable” or “not defined” is provided in each case. An OBE compliant to
the first edition will not answer with such a response for new attributes introduced in the current
edition of this International Standard.
vi © ISO 2015 – All rights reserved
ISO 12813:2015(E)
d) The attributes, derived from the individual toll regime, must be of general importance for all toll
system types (motorway tolling, area tolling, tolls for ferries, bridges, tunnels, cordon pricing, etc.).
e) The attributes must apply to all OBE architectures, and especially to both thin (edge-light) and fat
(edge heavy) client architectures. The interrogator must be able to receive essentially the same
information irrespective of OBE implementation decisions.
It is assumed that the prime objective of the operator of the compliance checking interrogator is to
check whether the user has fulfilled his obligations, especially:
— whether the OBE is mounted in the correct vehicle;
— whether the classification data transmitted by the OBE are correct; and
— whether the OBE is in working condition, both in a technical and a contractual sense.
Regarding the last point of the above list, on the operational status of OBE, the following model is assumed.
As long as the OBE signals to the user correct operational status (“green”), the service provider takes
full responsibility for the correct working of the OBE and for the payment by the user. Hence, as long as
the OBE signals “green” and the user fulfils his other obligations (such as entering correct classification
data and not tampering with the OBE), the user can expect the OBE to serve as a valid payment means.
As soon as the OBE signals an invalid operational status (“red”) — either set by the central system of
the service provider (e.g. because the user account is negative), by internal mechanisms of the OBE
itself (e.g. because of a detected defect or an outdated data set) or a user manipulation with such result
— the user knows that the OBE is no longer a valid payment means. The user then has to use alternative
1)
means of toll declaration or payment until the problem is remedied and the OBE is “green” again .
Ultimately, the policy of when to signal “green” or “red” is defined by the service provider in accordance
with the requirements defined by the toll charger(s).
In the case where the OBE status turns “red”, the user has to take action, declare road usage subject to
fees or pay by some alternative means as quickly as possible. Until he does, the user is in a potentially
non-compliant situation. In order to allow a judgment to be made as to whether or not a user has taken
the appropriate action within an acceptable period of time, information is provided by this International
Standard not only on the “green/red” operational status but also on the length of time that the OBE has
been in its current status.
Different toll contexts can overlap geographically. A user could be liable in several toll contexts at once,
e.g. for a nation-wide distance-dependent road tax and a local city access pricing scheme — a fact of
which the user might not in all cases be aware. This International Standard builds on the concept that
regarding compliance, there is no notion of toll context (see especially 5.4). It is within the responsibility
of the service provider to resolve issues with overlapping toll contexts and to distil all information into
a binary “red/green” message to the user.
A secondary objective of the operator of the compliance checking interrogator might be to collect data
on the performance of the OBE, e.g. in order to check for the correct technical functioning. Since different
OBE can work according to quite different principles, the possibilities for doing this in a standardised
way are quite limited. This International Standard contains some provisions for this task (e.g. the
attributes CommunicationStatus, GnssStatus, DistanceRecordingStatus), but otherwise assumes that
toll chargers monitor correct recording by comparing observed traffic (e.g. with cameras) with usage
data received from service providers.
This International Standard has been prepared with the intention to be “minimalist” in the sense that it
covers what is required by operational systems and systems planned in the foreseeable future.
1) Here, “red” and “green” are used in the abstract, symbolic sense, and do not imply any physical implementation.
The design of the user interface of the OBE is implementation-dependent, and several methods for signalling “red”
or “green” are conceivable.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 12813:2015(E)
Electronic fee collection — Compliance check
communication for autonomous systems
1 Scope
This International Standard defines requirements for short-range communication for the purposes
of compliance checking in autonomous electronic fee-collecting systems. Compliance checking
communication (CCC) takes place between a road vehicle’s on-board equipment (OBE) and an outside
interrogator (road-side mounted equipment, mobile device or hand-held unit), and serves to establish
whether the data that are delivered by the OBE correctly reflect the road usage of the corresponding
vehicle according to the rules of the pertinent toll regime.
The operator of the compliance checking interrogator is assumed to be part of the toll charging role as
defined in ISO 17573. The CCC permits identification of the OBE, vehicle and contract, and verification
of whether the driver has fulfilled his obligations and the checking status and performance of the OBE.
The CCC reads, but does not write, OBE data.
This International Standard is applicable to OBE in an autonomous mode of operation; it is not applicable
to compliance checking in dedicated short-range communication (DSRC)-based charging systems.
It defines data syntax and semantics, but does not define a communication sequence. All the attributes
defined herein are required in any OBE claimed to be compliant with this International Standard, even
if some values are set to “not defined” in cases where certain functionality is not present in an OBE. The
interrogator is free to choose which attributes are read, as well as the sequence in which they are read.
In order to achieve compatibility with existing systems, the communication makes use of the attributes
defined in ISO 14906 wherever useful.
The CCC is suitable for a range of short-range communication media. Specific definitions are given
for the CEN-DSRC as specified in EN 15509, as well as for the use of ISO CALM IR, the Italian DSRC as
specified in ETSI ES 200 674-1 and ARIB DSRC as alternatives to the CEN-DSRC. The attributes and
functions defined are for compliance checking by means of the DSRC communication services provided
by DSRC layer 7, with the CCC attributes and functions made available to the CCC applications at the
road-side equipment (RSE) and OBE. The attributes and functions are defined on the level of application
data units (ADU).
The definition of the CCC includes:
— the application interface between OBE and RSE (as depicted in Figure 2),
— use of the generic DSRC application layer as specified in ISO 15628 and EN 12834,
— use of the CEN-DSRC stack as specified in EN 15509, or other equivalent DSRC stacks as described in
Annexes C, D and E, and
— security services for mutual authentication of the communication partners and for signing of data
(see Annex G).
CCC data type specifications are given in Annex A, protocol implementation conformance statement
(PICS) proforma in Annex B. An example CCC transaction is presented in Annex F. The informative
Annex H highlights how to use this International Standard for the European electronic toll service (as
defined in Commission Decision 2009/750/EC).
Test specifications are not within the scope of this International Standard.

5 Application interface architecture
5.1 General
This clause gives an insight into the CCC architecture. It identifies the services provided to CCC
applications and the functions that implement these services. It also defines principles regarding
attributes and the use of DSRC communication primitives. A detailed description of the functions is
given in Clause 6, whilst the detailed list of the attributes is given in Clause 7.
The CCC application interface has been designed to make use of the CEN-DSRC communication stack, via
the application layer specified in ISO 15628 and EN 12834. For other identified DSRC communication
media, detailed mappings to corresponding services are given in annexes.
From a general addressing viewpoint, it should be noted that only one CCC context is used, as compliance
checking attributes are independent of context.
5.2 Services provided
The CCC application interface offers the following services to CCC applications:
— retrieval of compliance significant attributes, in order for RSE to assess OBE compliance,
— mutual authentication of RSE and OBE by means of exchange of credentials, and
— a command to the OBE to signal to the user the result of the compliance check
NOTE 1 The policy of whether or not the result of the compliance check or the fact that a transaction has taken
place is signalled to the user is decided by the entity operating the CCC interrogator and is outside the scope of
this International Standard.
The above services are realized by means of protocol exchanges performed by means of communication
services and transactions as described in Clause 8.
The services are provided by the following functions:
— the “initialise communication” function, which shall be used to establish the CCC communication
link between RSE and OBE;
— the “data retrieval” function, which shall be used to retrieve CCC attributes;
— the “authenticated data retrieval” function, which shall be used to retrieve data with an authenticator
from the OBE;
— the “driver notification” function, which shall be used to invoke a human-machine-interface (HMI)
function (e.g. signal “OK” via a buzzer sound);
— the “terminate communication” function, which shall be used to terminate the CCC communication;
— the “test communication” function, which shall be used for testing and localizing the OBE.
NOTE 2 A “write” service is not provided, since the writing of data into the OBE is not foreseen.
5.3 Attributes
The attributes available on the OBE side for a CCC application at road-side for checking the compliance
of a vehicle are given in detail in Clause 7.
All attributes defined in this International Standard shall be available on the OBE side.
The RSE is free to decide to read any combination of attributes from the OBE. The attributes shall be
identified and retrieved using the mechanisms defined in ISO 14906. More specifically, the addressing
ISO 12813:2015(E)
of the CCC application data implemented by the OBE and RSE shall conform to the rules defined in
ISO 14906:2011, 5.3.
Multiple instances of attributes are not supported.
5.4 Toll context
An OBE may be in several tolling contexts at once. This can occur, e.g. in situations where a motorway
toll geographically overlaps with an area charging system. In these different tolling contexts, the OBE
might run different charging applications or several instances of one charging application in parallel.
This International Standard builds on the concept that for compliance checking, there is no need to
distinguish between tolling contexts. The data relevant for checking compliance, e.g. the identity of the
vehicle, classification parameters and operational status of the OBE (“red” or “green”), are independent
of the tolling context. Also, for legal reasons, a user must know whether or not he is acting in a compliant
way without understanding technical detail, such as how many overlapping tolling contexts there are at
a given moment.
Hence, there is only one CCC context, and context-related concepts known from DSRC charging — such
as identification of the toll context via the EFC context mark or addressing a specific context via a
corresponding EID — are not required. Therefore, the OBE shall hold only one CCC context, identified
by a single EID value.
5.5 Use of lower layers
5.5.1 Supported DSRC communication stacks
The CCC application interface makes use of the CEN-DSRC communication stack as described in Table 1.
Other communication media can be used as listed in Table 1 if an equivalent mapping to corresponding
services is provided. Detailed examples are provided in informative annexes.

6.1.1 General
All functions defined in 6.1 shall be available on the OBE side.
For CEN-DSRC, the OBE shall provide the following functions:
— INITIALISATION, GET, and RELEASE application layer services according to ISO 15628 and EN 12834;
— GET_STAMPED, SET_MMI, and ECHO EFC functions according to ISO 14906.
Subclauses 6.1.2 to 6.1.7 define the functions for CEN-DSRC only. For other supported media, according
to 5.5.1, equivalent functionality should be provided. See Annex C for ETSI/ES 200 674-1 5.8 GHz
microwave DSRC, Annex D for CALM Infrared DSRC, and Annex E for ARIB microwave DSRC.
6.1.2 Initialise communication
Initialisation of the communication between the RSE and the OBE shall be initiated by the RSE, by
means of the invocation of an initialisation request by the RSE. After successful initialisation, the
function “Initialise communication” shall notify the applications on the RSE and OBE sides.
The initialisation notification on the OBE side shall carry at least the identity of the beacon (e.g. beacon
serial number) and absolute time.
The initialisation notification on the RSE side shall carry the CCC application identity and shall also
carry data required for the security services (e.g. nonce value, key identifier).
The function “Initialise communication” shall be provided by the application layer INITIALISATION
services as specified in ISO 15628 and EN 12834. It is defined in Annex A: refer to CCC-InitialiseComm-
Request and CCC-InitialiseComm-Response.
6.1.3 Data retrieval
The function “Data retrieval” shall be provided by the application layer GET service as specified
in ISO 15628 and EN 12834. It is defined in Annex A: refer to CCC-DataRetrieval-Request and CCC-
DataRetrieval-Response.
In the GET service primitives, iid shall not be used.
NOTE The invocation of a service primitive by an application process implicitly calls upon and uses services
offered by the lower protocol layers.
GET shall always carry access credentials.
6.1.4 Authenticated data retrieval
The function “Authenticated data retrieval” shall be implemented by the EFC function GET_STAMPED
as specified in ISO 14906. It is defined in Annex A: refer to CCC-AuthDataRetrieval-Request and CCC-
AuthDataRetrieval-Response.
ISO 12813:2015(E)
GET_STAMPED shall always carry access credentials.
NOTE Access credentials carry information needed to fulfil access conditions in order to perform the
operation on the addressed element in the OBE. Access credentials can carry passwords as well as cryptography-
based information such as authenticators
6.1.5 Driver notification
The function “Driver notification” shall be implemented by the EFC function SET_MMI as specified in
ISO 14906. It is defined in Annex A: refer to CCC-Notification-Request and CCC-Notification-Response.
NOTE According to ISO 14906, SET_MMI.request uses EID = 0 and does not carry access credentials.
6.1.6 Terminate communication
The RSE may terminate the communication on application level with the OBE with the function
“Terminate communication”, by means of the invocation of a release request by the RSE.
NOTE 1 A termination of the communication on link level is outside of the scope of this International Standard.
The function “Terminate communication” shall be provided by the application layer service EVENT-
REPORT as specified in ISO 15628 and EN 12834. It is defined in Annex A: refer to CCC-TerminateComm.
NOTE 2 According to ISO 15628 and EN 12834, EVENT-REPORT (Release) uses EID = 0 and does not carry
access credentials.
6.1.7 Test communication
The function “Test communication” shall be implemented by the EFC function ECHO of ISO 14906, and is
defined in Annex A: refer to CCC-TestComm-Request and CCC-TestComm-Response.
NOTE According to ISO 14906, ECHO uses EID = 0 and does not carry access credentials.
6.2 Security
6.2.1 General
Security is an essential part of CCC applications. This International Standard provides for generic
security services. The detailed implementations are media-specific.
This International Standard provides for an authentication service that may serve to prove the
identity of the data source, the integrity of the data and/or to provide for non-repudiation. It contains
a mechanism for control of access to the OBE data by means of access credentials. Access protection is
also used for protection of user privacy.
It does not provide for an en
