Road Transport and Traffic Telematics (RTTT) - Dedicated short-range communication - Profiles for RTTT applications
This European Standard specifies DSRC profiles which provide coherent sets of communication tools for applications based on DSRC. These sets consist of subsets of functionality described in prEN 12253, EN 12795 and EN 12834, out of which a minimum subset is mandatory.
The DSRC Standards prEN 12253, EN 12795 and EN 12834, which together form a three-layered architecture for DSRC, are designed to encompass a wide range of services for different purposes in order to make the basic DSRC architecture suited for many different applications and for a wide range of possible products and systems.
DSRC systems can be built using one-way (downlink) or two-way (interactive) communication. The DSRC profiles described in this European Standard are intended for interactive DSRC systems based on two-way communication and DSRC systems using one-way communication (broadcast services).
While prEN 12253 contains very little variation, EN 12795 and especially EN 12834 describe a wide range of communication services. It has not been considered feasible to assume that any one piece of equipment is designed to implement all of these services. It is often the case that the functionality of the on board unit is more limited than the functionality of the roadside unit.

Overview
EN 13372:2004 - Road Transport and Traffic Telematics (RTTT) - Dedicated Short‑Range Communication (DSRC) - Profiles for RTTT applications is a CEN European Standard that defines DSRC profiles: coherent, cross‑layer sets of communication parameters and functionality for DSRC-based road transport services. The standard specifies how to select compatible subsets of the three-layer DSRC architecture (Physical, Data Link, Application) so roadside units (RSUs) and on‑board units (OBUs) can reliably negotiate and run interactive (two‑way) or broadcast (one‑way) services.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Profile concept: A DSRC profile is a unique identifier (ASN.1 “Profile”) that bundles parameter choices and functionality across layers so devices know which modes to use.
- Physical layer parameter sets: Defines alternative values and two main sets (L1‑A and L1‑B). Examples include:
- Sub‑carrier frequencies (U1): 1.5 MHz and 2.0 MHz (OBUs shall support both; profile indicates selection).
- Power limits (D11a): alternatives −17 dBm or −24 dBm depending on set.
- Spectrum masks and E.I.R.P. variants for RSU/OBU transmitters.
- Data Link Layer subsets: Specifies which medium access control (MAC) and logical link control (LLC) services are included in a profile (acknowledged/unacknowledged commands, windowing).
- Application Layer subsets: Defines application primitives and service tables (Beacon Service Table - BST, Vehicle Service Table - VST) used to advertise supported profiles and services.
- Procedures: Standardised procedures for initialisation, late responses, and termination of DSRC communication sessions between RSU and OBU.
- Interlayer management: Rules to ensure coherent parameter combinations across Physical, Data Link and Application layers.
Practical applications
EN 13372 is intended for DSRC-based ITS services where short-range, low‑latency communications are required. Typical applications include:
- Electronic Fee Collection (EFC) and tolling interfaces
- Parking access control and gate systems
- Traffic signal priority for emergency or public transport vehicles
- Roadside information and beacon services (broadcast alerts)
- Fleet management and vehicle‑to‑infrastructure (V2I) interactions
Who should use this standard
- ITS system architects and planners
- RSU and OBU hardware manufacturers
- Toll operators, parking system integrators and traffic authorities
- Procurement teams specifying interoperable DSRC equipment
- Test labs verifying DSRC profile conformance
