Foreword
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).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 204, Intelligent transport systems.
This first edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO/TS 24533:2012), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— removal of information on the interoperability of freight data exchange standards (intended to be

the subject of ISO/AWI 24533-1:— );
— inclusion of information on a common reporting system allowing industry and government to
communicate on freight data requirements and needs in an interoperable manner.

Introduction
The seamless exchange of accurate, complete and timely data communication at transportation hand-
offs has always been important for efficiency and accountability. Hand-offs with a universal method of
exchange that allows data interoperability between all parties in the supply chain is critically important
for maximizing efficiency and accountability. The efficient exchange of data also provides for security
of transport information and for transfer of information related to security against terrorism as well as
theft and traditional contraband. It is imperative for standards development organizations to address
and facilitate the handling of these needs.
Consequently, Technical Committee ISO/TC 204, Intelligent transport systems, seeks to fill a role
focusing on data exchange needs for the international supply chain, relating specifically to haulier
transportation. This includes data needs for the interface with all modes of transportation, since
freight movement normally includes interfaces with other modes of transportation. Those needs
are essential for transport information and control systems. Additionally, the need for a standard
method of interoperability between data exchange standards is critical for seamless movement within
and between modes of transportation, the businesses those modes represent and the authorities
requiring specific regulatory information. Some international shipments are carried out entirely by
road conveyances, but most begin and end with haulier service and travel by other modes during the
shipment. This document focuses on haulier transport interfaces through the supply chain, or those
data items that deal specifically with the key transport information critical for getting the goods to the
marketplace without delays related to data sharing.
The data structure and formats of interfacing modes need to accommodate each other to ensure
efficiency and security from end to end. Truck, rail, air and ocean transport are vital components of
intermodal, international shipping. It is recognized that a robust intermodal standard needs to include
interface connections to these modes; this has been proven through demonstration tests. Research and
tests carried out in the US motivated the use of a truck-air-truck supply chain, for example.
Preliminary investigations suggest that there is no single organization responsible for transport data
standards through the intermodal supply chain. To achieve a coherent set of transport standards
requires coordination among the various international organizations working on component parts of
these international standards.
The vision expressed in this document is to allow electronic data sharing through many-to-many
relationships between supply chain partners which can help ensure sustaining legacy standards as
needed. This includes B2B (business to business) relationships as well as B2G (busines
