Introduction
0.1 Design principle
This document specifies a graphic data dictionary (GDD) that has been developed with the intent of creating
a common basis for transmitting encoded information for existing road traffic signs and pictograms. The
coding system has been developed to be language-independent, such that data that can be interpreted,
irrespective of language or regional differences. The GDD supports intelligent transport system (ITS)
application such as in-vehicle signage or in-vehicle information.
This document supports:
— the efficient IT-centric encoding for ITS messaging to represent specific road traffic signs and pictograms,
and
— the consistent decoding of encoded road traffic signs and pictogram data for display in ITS.
This document can support the translation of signs and pictograms with a similar purpose from the
representation used in one country to the representation used in another country.
Existing road traffic signs and pictograms from various countries are listed in Annex I.
0.2 Background of revision
The first edition of this document (ISO 14823:2017) used the country codes stipulated by ISO 3166-1 to
distinguish the country where the GDD is provided and used the following numbering structure to identify
the pictogram codes stipulated in Clause 8.
— The two-digit category of the sign.
— The one-digit nature of the sign.
— The two-digit serial number of the sign.
However, this mechanism lacked a global identification of pictogram codes and a flexibility when adding
new pictogram codes.
To cope with these issues, the present document, ISO 14823-1:2023, has been developed.
0.3 Backward compatibility
This document has been developed to be backward compatible with ISO 14823:2017 to assist in transitions
from earlier implementations, while not hindering spreads of ISO 14823:2017 and being able to support
many new features.
Specifically, the GDD allows the selection of two versions described in 7.1. The GDD allows the use of the
ASN.1 description specified in Annex A or Annex E, and allows the use of the attributes specified in Annex B
or Annex F.

5 Conformance
An implementation is conformant with this document when the following conditions are met.
— The implementation and transmission of graphic data shall conform to the requirements listed in this
document.
— The pictogram code shall be selected from the categorized codes listed in this document.
6 Requirements
The intended usage of this document is to support the efficient IT-centric encoding for ITS messaging to
represent specific road traffic signs and pictograms and the consistent decoding of encoded road traffic
signs and pictogram data for display in ITS.
This document can support the translation of signs and pictograms with similar purpose from the
representation used in one country to the representation used in another country. For illustrative purposes,
it is foreseen that this document will be able to be used to encode information concerning a specific pictogram
that is then embedded into other information to be exchanged; if needed, on receipt of this information, the
receiver will be able to use the contents of this document to decode the information concerning the specific
pictogram to support its display across a range of dissemination systems. Examples of these dissemination
systems can include: traffic control centre system user interfaces, variable message signs (VMS). public
access terminals, mobile personal information systems, and on-board units.
Requirements for ITS applications which utilize the GDD are as follows.
— Graphic data shall consist of a version number, relative object identifier or country code and optionally
an attribute indicator.
— The pictogram code shall be decided based on Table 1.
— The danger warning pictogram code shall be selected from Table 3.
— The regulatory pictogram code shall be selected from Table 4.
— The informative pictogram code shall be selected from Table 5.
— The public facilities pictogram code shall be selected from Table 6.
ISO 14823-1:2024(en)
— The supplementary panel and additional panel pictogram code shall be selected from Table 9.
— The integer value which indicates the direction shall be determined based on Table B.3 or Table F.3.
— If attribute indicator is on, graphic data shall include attributes listed in Table B.1 or Table F.1.
— When transmitting graphic data, it shall be coded based on the ASN.1 module specified in Annex A
(version 2) or on the ASN.1 module specified in Annex E (version 1).
NOTE For transmission efficiency purposes, compression can be considered. This is outside the scope of this
document.
7 Structure of pictogram code
7.1 General
The GDD provides a taxonomy of all registered sign types by assigning each sign type with a globally unique
pictogram code. This pictogram code allows the meaning of virtually any sign used for surface transport
to be adequately conveyed in a language-independent manner with a very short identifier coupled with
optional attributes.
There are two "versions" available for determining the structure of the pictogram code.
The first version (referred to collectively as “version 1”) uses the sequence of the country code (see 7.4) and
pictogram code (see 7.5) as specified by the GDD structure in Annex E.
Version 1 is expected to be used mainly when expanding or maintaining the existing C-ITS applications
which presently use GDD (i.e. ISO 14823:2017).
The second version (referred to collectively as “version 2”) uses the object identifier of the pictogram code
by using the ASN.1 relative object identifier specified in 7.3. This mechanism has been introduced to cope
with a global identification of pictogram codes and a flexibility when adding new pictogram codes.
Version 2 allows to the inclusion of up to 4 pictograms in the GDD.
In addition, some elements have been harmonized with DATEX II to be used in VMS signs.
It is up to each application or service to determine how to use these versions.
However, for reasons of facilitating implementations, it is recommended to avoid mixing versions in the
same application or service.
Version 1 and version 2 are maintained independently by introducing the notion of “revision” in complement
of the notion of “version”. Both the version and the revision are identified in the object identifier (OID) that
identifies the respective ASN.1 module.
Details of version 2 can be found in Annexes A, B, C and D while details of version 1 can be found in Annexes E,
F and G.
7.2 Current and deprecated signs
There are a number of signs in ISO 14823:2017 that are deprecated (no longer relevant or duplicated).
Each pictogram code of the GDD in this document (ISO 14823-1:2023) is labelled “current” or “deprecated”
together with a date of revision. Using this labelling enables legacy applications to continue to use these
deprecated sign codes but signals to new users that it is wise to use only current labelled codes. To ensure
backward compatibility, no code is reused, so that if a deprecated code is transmitted and the receiver does
not recognize it, no action is taken. In the future it is possible that some codes might be set to “obsolete”.
ISO 14823-1:2024(en)
The following are examples of deprecated signs and reasons for deprecation.
— Signs listed in Table 7 and Table 8 have been deprecated and moved to Table 3 as these signs should be
used in dangerous situations.
— Signs listed in Table 4 (from pictogram category no. 631 to no. 637) have been deprecated as these signs
should be presented using attributes.
— Signs listed in Table 4 (from pictogram category no. 365 to no. 368) have been deprecated as these signs
are replaced by signs listed in Table 4 (from pictogram category no. 361 to no. 364).
7.3 Relative object identifier
The international object identifier tree as defined in ISO/IEC 9834-1 is a tree whose root corresponds to this
document and whose nodes correspond to Registration Authorities responsible for allocating arcs from a
parent node.
The pictogram codes are registered on the international object identifier tree under the arc {joint-iso-
itu-t(2) its(28) gdd(5) }. The first three sub-arcs follow the numbering structure:
— the two-digit service category of the sign,
— the one-digit nature category of the sign,
— the two-digit serial number of the sign.
The taxonomy specified by the GDD allows maximum interoperability among implementations that might
differ in their level of support of GDD details. In other words, while the GDD has been designed to support
numerous potential use cases that require various levels of detail and virtually all sign types that might
be encountered within surface transport, the GDD has also been designed to accommodate applications
(especially receiving applications) that might not support the full scope of the GDD. Specifically, the
taxonomic structure of the GDD allows a sender to provide a very detailed pictogram code; if the receiver
does not understand the complete taxonomic sequence, it should still be able to classify the sign under a
parent category (or understand that it is safe to ignore).
For example, if a receiving application is notified of a sign with an object identifier of {joint(2) its(28)
gdd(5) warning(11) warning3(3) wildAnimal(63) unspecified(0) au(36) kangaroo(x) } ), it might be able to
display the intended Australian-specific kangaroo crossing warning sign to the driver. Another application
might generalize all object identifiers starting with {joint(2) its(28) gdd(5) warning(11) warning3(3)
wildAnimal(63) } sign to a generic wild animal crossing sign. Another application might generalize all object
identifiers starting with {joint(2) its(28) gdd(5) warning(11) } to be a generic warning sign. The level of
detail supported by an application is dependent upon the purpose of the receiving application and is beyond
the scope of the GDD.
To ensure that all signs described by the GDD are placed into this taxonomy, the GDD conveys the object
identifier of the pictogram code by using the ASN.1 relative object identifier type with a root node of
{joint(2) its(28) gdd(5) }. This allows a more efficient encoding of the object identifier while also ensuring
that all codes can be generalized according to the specified taxonomy. This structure still allows for further
regional specializations of the pictogram code specified within this standard according to the process
specified Annex D.
7.4 Country code
ISO 3166-1 shall be used to encode the countryCode in GddStructure.pictogramCode using two-letter codes
in upper case in accordance with ISO/IEC 8859-1 encoding. For example, if the on-board unit has multiple
countries' pictograms, it can render a pictogram on the display in accordance to each county code when the
traveller is driving through adjacent countries.
If present, the component countryCode in GddStructure.pictogramCode (version 1) shall contain a two-
letter country code that shall conform to ISO 3166-1, in upper case.
ISO 14823-1:2024(en)
7.5 Pictogram code and object identifier (OID) node information
The structure of the pictogram code including the relative object identifier is presented in Table 1. The
service category has following four types of categories.
1) Traffic signs: are officially established pictograms in each country to control traffic using a warning,
regulatory or informative sign.
2) Public facilities: indicate the existence of certain public facilities and their service details (e.g. toilets,
restaurants, first aid facilities, etc.).
3) Ambient conditions: indicate weather condition on the road (e.g. rainfall, flood, fog, etc.) and road
conditions (traffic congestion, accident, etc.) which can potentially affect the traffic flow.
4) Supplemental panels: are attached to the main signs to provide supplemental information using text or
numbers.
NOTE Users of version 2 are encouraged to use attributes instead of supplemental panels where it is possible.
Each pictogram category code has a nature category number and a serial number.
Pictograms to be used for information display may vary from country to country, political jurisdiction to
political jurisdiction, or system operator to system operator.
Pictogram codes and OID node information are described in Annex J.

An additional (or supplementary) panel is a device placed below (sometimes above) a road sign to make the
meaning of the sign or symbol more explicit or to limit the application of the sign to certain periods. It can
also be used to show the distance from the sign to the beginning of the dangerous section of road or of the
zone to which the regulation applies, or to show the length of the dangerous section of road or of the zone to
which the regulation applies.
If regulatory signs are to be restricted to certain road users or if certain road users are to be exempt from
the regulation, this is done through the same device.

8 Numbering of pictogram codes
8.1 General
The GDD specifies the pictogram code and the rule for generating a mnemonic associated with each
pictogram code.
In the following tables starting from 2 pictograms codes may also be given a country code in version 1
according to the specifications of this document.
The status of pictograms code is labelled “C” (=current) or "D” (=deprecated) in the following tables.
8.2 Mnemonic of the pictogram code
A mnemonic of the pictogram code can be generated by transforming each pictogram code name specified in
the following subclauses in accordance with the following rules.
— In lower CamelCase notation
— The ASN.1 rules which shall be in accordance with ISO/IEC 8824-1 (e.g. no spaces, no parenthesis)
— No articles (the, a, an)
