Foreword
This document (prEN 15430-2:2008) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 337 “Winter
maintenance and road service area maintenance equipment”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.

1 Introduction
This document must be considered as the second part of the standard for data acquisition and transmission in the
field of municipal vehicles. The goal of the standard is to allow interoperability between systems (hardware and
software) of different vendors. A customer should be able to combine any:
• on-vehicle equipment (e. g. spreaders and ploughs)
• on-vehicle data acquisition systems (e. g. board computers or enhanced control boxes)
• client application software (e. g. data bases, analyzing or accounting software)
as long as they follow this standard.
The first part of the standard, as described in document EN15430-1, defines the on-board communication (flow 1)
between on-vehicle equipment (data handler) and on-vehicle data acquisition systems (board computer). This
document is meant to describe the data structure, types, ranges, protocol and initial settings required by the
information supplier server (ISS) and client application server (CAS) including synchronized combining of the
various data sources.
Figure1 represents the whole data flow chain from vehicle to office system.


Figure 1: Transmission flow
The present standard doesn’t define any specific rules for items like:
• optional compression, encryption and authentication of the data during data transfer (flow 2).
• data transmission between on-vehicle data acquisition system and information supplier server ( flow 2).
Data transfer between on-vehicle data acquisition systems and the information supplier server has to be lossless.
Section 1 defines the interface between devices and board computer, as described in EN15430-1.
Section 2 addresses the combination of data from different streams and the transmission to a generic information
supplier server.

Section 3 addresses the data transfer (Flow 3 ) between the information supplier server (ISS) and client application
server (CAS) and it is the purpose of this document.
2 Scope
The function of the standard is to combine any vehicle equipment with different board computers to any client
application server. The communication interface on vehicle is defined by part 1 of the standard. The interface
between the information supplier server and the client application server is defined as a specific protocol (flow 3)
object of the present document. This makes interchangeability possible on both sides of the communication without
any restriction in the range of communication technology including memory card, WLAN, GPRS or any other
communication media.

4 Normative references
This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These
normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For
dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European
Standard. Only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the
publication referred to applies.

ARPANET). The notes discuss many aspects of computer communication, focusing on networking protocols,
procedures, programs, and concepts.

5 Tasks of the board computer
5.1 Classification
In EN15430-1 a data acquisition system like a board computer has been presented as black-box with implemented
at least the following main features:
• Receive data from a generic vehicle/equipment data transmission handler (e.g. through RS232 serial interface)
• Store any incoming information in reports.
• Generate one time stamp for every data message.
According to the time gap between record time stamp and ISS time stamp one board computer can be classified
as follows:
1. On-line devices: devices where the time gap between generation at the board computer and acquisition by the
ISS is within 60 seconds. ( e.g: radio, GPRS, UMTS). The ISS has to provide an on-line status information to
the CAS for every connected device.
2. Off-line device: devices where the time gap between generation at the board computer and acquisition by the
ISS is 60 seconds or more.
Every board computer has to ensure 24 hours of non volatile data storage.
5.2 Data receiving and merging
The board computer receives data from one or more device handlers. In addition, it can generate records, e. g. by
receiving GPS data, evaluating sensors or converting non-standard data sources. (described in part 1 of the
standard). Then, the board computer merges the data flow from different devices into one data stream without
applying and modification to the records (record code >= 1). All records should remain in the same order in which
they were generated. The order of records coming from different sources is free. The delay probably introduced by
the data transmission handler can be ignored.
5.3 Time information handling
Time information received from board computers are stored on the ISS without any modification. The ISS has to
add its local time information to the data files.
