Introduction
Many ITS technologies have been embraced by commercial transport operators and freight owners, in the
areas of fleet management, safety and security. Telematics applications have also been developed for
governmental use. Such regulatory services in use or being considered vary from country to country, but
include electronic on-board recorders, vehicle route-access and toll charging, digital tachographs, on-board
mass monitoring, vehicle access monitoring, hazardous goods tracking and e-call Additional applications with
a regulatory impact being developed include, fatigue management, speed monitoring and heavy vehicle
charging based on mass, location, distance and time.
In such an emerging environment of regulatory and commercial applications, it is timely to consider an overall
architecture (business and functional) that could support these functions from a single platform within a
commercial freight vehicle that operate within such regulations. International Standards will allow for a speedy
development and specification of new applications that build upon the functionality of a generic specification
platform. A suite of standards deliverables is required to describe and define the framework and requirements
so that the on board equipment and back office systems can be commercially designed in an open market to
meet common requirements of jurisdictions [4.9].
This suite of standards addresses and defines the framework for a range of cooperative telematics
applications for regulated commercial freights (such as access monitoring, driver fatigue management, speed
monitoring, on-board mass monitoring and charging). The overall scope includes the concept of operation,
legal and regulatory issues, and the generic cooperative provision of services to regulated commercial
freights, using an on-board ITS platform. The framework is based on a (multiple) service provider [4.13]
oriented approach provisions for the approval and auditing of service providers [4.12].
This suite of standards deliverables will:
 provide the basis for future development of cooperative telematics applications for regulated
commercial freights. Many elements to accomplish this are already available. Existing relevant
standards will be referenced, and the specifications will use existing standards (such as CALM)
wherever practicable.
 allow for a powerful platform for highly cost-effective delivery of a range of telematics applications for
regulated commercial freights.
 a business architecture based on a (multiple) service provider [4.13] oriented approach
 address legal and regulatory aspects for the approval and auditing of service providers [4.12].

This suite of standards deliverables is timely as many governments (Europe, North America, Asia and
Australia/New Zealand) are considering the use of telematics for a range of regulatory purposes. Ensuring that
a single in-vehicle platform can deliver a range of services to both government and industry through open
standards and competitive markets is a strategic objective.
This part of the ISO 15638 family of standards deliverables provides specifications for the generic
requirements for and specifications for candidate commercial (unregulated) applications that may also use the
TARV platform (in addition to any regulated services).
ISO 15638 has been developed for use in the context of regulated commercial freight vehicles. There is
nothing however to prevent a jurisdiction extending or adapting the scope to include other types of regulated
vehicles, as it deems appropriate.
NOTE The definition of what comprises a ‘regulated’ vehicle is regarded as an issue for national decision, and may
vary from country to country. This suite of standards deliverables does not impose any requirements on nations in respect
of how they define a regulated commercial freight.
NOTE The definition of what comprises a ‘regulated’ service is regarded as an issue for national decision, and may
vary from country to country. This suite of standards deliverables does not impose any requirements on nations in respect
of which services for regulated commercial freights countries will require, or support as an option, but will provide
standardised sets of requirements descriptions for identified services to enable consistent and cost efficient
implementations where implemented.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 15638-7:2013(E)

Intelligent transport systems — Framework for collaborative
Telematics Applications for Regulated commercial freight
Vehicles (TARV) —
Part 7:
Other applications
1 Scope
This part of ISO 15638 provides business framework based on a (multiple) service provider [4.13] oriented
approach for the provision of additional unregulated services to regulated commercial freight vehicles using a
common on-board telematics platform, including:
a) Definition of the service that a ‘Service Provider’ [4.13] has to provide, including a given service level
(the service definition comprises service elements such as “retrieve data from IVS”, “map data to a
map with access conditions”, etc.)
b) Means to realise the service
c) Application data, naming content and quality that an IVS has to deliver
d) Development of (any) rules for the approval and auditing of service providers [4.12] for non-regulated
service provision.
NOTE The definition of what comprises a ‘regulated’ service is regarded as an issue for national decision, and may
vary from country to country. This part of ISO 15638 does not impose any requirements on nations in respect of which
services for regulated commercial freights countries will require, or support as an option, but provides standardized sets of
requirement descriptions for identified services to enable consistent and cost efficient implementations where Instantiated
[4.8].
This part of ISO 15638 defines the requirements for the scope and framework for all TARV commercial
(unregulated) applications. These applications may then be simply instantiated [4.8] as commercial
applications conforming to the requirements of this part of ISO 15638, in which case no further standardization
is required, so long as conformance can be demonstrated, and service offerings may vary from service
provider [4.13] to service provider. Where it is decided that there is benefit in standardized instantiation [4.8] to a
common format for a particular service, a separate standards deliverable will be required, but may be
developed by the consensus of experts in that area of application by reference to this part of ISO 15638 in
respect of the TARV technical aspects.
ISO 15638 has been developed for use in the context of regulated commercial freight vehicles (hereinafter
referred to as ‘regulated vehicles’). There is nothing, however, to prevent a jurisdiction extending or adapting
the scope to include other types of regulated vehicles, as it deems appropriate.
2 Conformance
This part of ISO 15638 defines requirements for additional regulated services, or non-regulated commercial
services using the TARV communications platform within the TARV context, and has no specific conformance
tests defined herein. Some aspects defined within may have conformance tests defined in other parts of
ISO 15638.
Conformance declarations for the various parts of a CALM-compliant system shall be based on the relevant
CALM-related International Standards that are normatively referenced in this part of ISO 15638.
Conformance to any other International Standard or specification referenced in this part of ISO 15638 shall be
ascertained according to the requirements of the referenced deliverable.
Conformance to this part of ISO 15638 is therefore a matter of self declaration of compliance, or by
submission to a test house to ascertain that the provisions of the clauses of this part of ISO 15638 have been
adhered to.

ISO 15638 provides a suite of standards deliverables addresses and defines the framework for a range of
cooperative telematics applications for regulated* commercial freight vehicles (such as access monitoring,
driver fatigue management, speed monitoring, on-board mass monitoring and charging). The overall scope
includes the concept of operation, legal and regulatory issues, and the generic cooperative ITS service
platform. The framework is based on a (multiple) service provider [4.13] oriented approach provisions for the

The context for ISO 15638-7 is a business framework based on a (multiple) service provider [4.13] oriented
approach in order to support unregulated (commercial) application service provision in addition to regulated
application service [4.12] provision, using a common on-board platform.

This part defines the general requirements and conditions for non regulated systems in order to enable them
to use the TARV IVS and the basic vehicle data [4.4] in order to provide application services [4.1] other than
regulated application services [4.12] for TARV.
It is important to note that where a commercial (unregulated) service can be Instantiated [4.8] using only the
generic vehicle data specified in ISO 15638-5, no further standardisation is required. Where a TARV
commercial application is be simply instantiated as a commercial application conforming to the requirements
of this part of ISO 15638, no further standardisation is required so long as conformance to the requirements of
this part of ISO 15638 can be demonstrated, and service offerings may vary from service provider [4.13] to
service provider.
Where it is decided that there is benefit in standardised instantiation [4.8] to a common format for a particular
service, a separate standards deliverable will be required, but may be developed by the consensus of experts
in that area of application by reference to this part of ISO 15638 in respect of the TARV technical aspects.
The service definition for each application service supported by this part of ISO 15638 comprises:
a) A clear description of the service provided and its inputs, outputs and results, including a given service
level
b) Generic data, naming content and quality that an IVS has to deliver
c) Specific data, naming content and quality for the provision of that particular service
d) Service elements (such as “retrieve data from IVS”, “map data to a map with access conditions”,
“report non-compliance”, etc.)
e) Access methods to provision and retrieve data
f) Provisions for quality of service
g) Provisions for test requirements
h) Provisions for the approval of IVSs and ‘Service providers [4.12]’
This part provides specifications for candidate commercial applications for TARV, and defines the generic
modus of operations, and the requirements, and where appropriate constraints for specification of
unstandardised commercial applications using the TARV platform, and provides definition of the parameters to
be specified in any standardised commercial/civic application that uses TARV.
A ‘commercial/civic application service’/’unregulated service’ in the context of this part of ISO 15638 is a
TARV application service that is not mandated by a regulation imposed by a jurisdiction [4.9] (government,
road or traffic authority which owns the ‘Regulatory Applications’) and is therefore a voluntary ‘commercial’ or
‘civic’ service, supported using a TARV communications link and platform in the vehicle.
A ‘commercial/civic application service’ is provided by a ‘service provider’, also called an ‘application service
provider’[4.2]. Although these ‘application service providers’ are actors in a free commercial market, they will
require to be approved, approved by a ‘approval authority (regulatory) [4.6] ’ function as suitable to provide
commercial/civic ITS application services [4.1], in accordance with a regime established by the jurisdiction, in
order to enable them to to share use of the TARV equipment. The jurisdiction [4.9] approving such a service
shall set up a means through its approval authority function to ensure that the proposed service does not
conflict with any regulated service provision.
NOTE A approval authority (regulatory) [4.6] is an agency of or function within a jurisdiction [4.9] regulator who
certifies that the requirements of the jurisdiction have been met, and should not be confused with a certification authority
(digital) which is an organization which issues digital certificates for use by other parties (specifically in the context of
communications security).
The service provider [4.13] provides the application service to/for a ‘user [4.14]’ who is an individual or party that
enrols and contracts to receive the commercial/civic application service [4.1].
Examples of a user [4.14] are a transport operator, driver, freight owner, etc. Most commonly the user is the
transport operator.

8. Concept of operations for unregulated application services with additional data
requirements
8.1 General
This Clause describes the characteristics of a proposed system from the viewpoint of an individual who will
use that system. Its objective is to communicate the quantitative and qualitative system characteristics to all
stakeholders.
This Clause defines the general concept of operations for commercial/civic provision using the TARV platform
and an application service [4.1] provider for TARV commercial/civics that require data in addition to that
available from the basic vehicle data [4.4], and provides the generic modus operandi for the provision of
commercial/civic (unregulated) application services defined in the subsequent Clauses of this Part of
ISO 15638 that relate to provisions for unregulated application services.
A ‘concept of operations’ (CONOPS) generally evolves from a concept and is a description of how a set of
capabilities may be employed to achieve desired objectives.
8.2 Statement of the goals and objectives of the system
The overall objective of TARV commercial/civic application services [4.1] with additional data requirements is
use of a common telematics platform, (which was most probably installed to meet a regulatory requirement for
the control of regulated commercial freights), to provide additional commercial/civic application services.
Those services that require only the basic vehicle data [4.4] defined in ISO 15638-5, do not require further
standardisation measures, so this part of ISO 15638 is focussed to meet the requirements for
commercial/civic provision in circumstances where data is required in addition to that provided by the basic
vehicle data data concept.
It is an underlying concept (described in ISO 15638-1) that these services are provided by agreement with the
user [4.14], and using an approved service provider [4.13] to meet the requirements of the jurisdiction [4.9] via an
in-vehicle system (IVS) with communications capability between the vehicle and the service provider [4.13], and
access to relevant data from the regulated commercial freight.
It is an underlying assumption that the vehicle is equipped with the means to acquire and provide the data
(additional to the basic vehicle data [4.4]), required by the specific application service [4.1]. The requirements
for specific additional data are not defined in this part of ISO 15638, which standardises only the general
framework for commercial/civic provision using TARV. That means that the instantiation [4.8] of services of the
same title or description may be implemented differently by different application service providers, and
therefore most frequently not interoperable. Such differences provide product differentiation, and where the
service is discrete, enable a commercial market to flourish with competing product offerings. However, there
may well be cases where, although the service is not required by regulation, there is benefit in standardising
some or all of the aspects and data exchanges of the service. Such services will require a further
standardisation deliverable, which refers to this part of ISO 15638 as the baseline standard for the provision of
commercial/civic application services [4.1] using TARV, and needs to specify only the additional aspects that
require standardisation.

As with provisions for regulated application service [4.12] provision using TARV, the actual equipment to be
installed in order to provide that data provision functionality is not standardised and is a commercial decision
of the application service provider [4.2], unless it is specified by the jurisdiction.
That is to say that this part of ISO 15638 determines the nature of the data and how it is to be sent and
received by the IVS, but does not standardise the equipment used to obtain the data, nor the definition of the
actual service features received.
EXAMPLE Refrigerated trailer temperature. The Standard would define that the temperature was measured and
transmitted to the IVS either on demand or at prescribed intervals and reported to the IVS using a defined interface as
degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit, and the degrees of precision of that temperature measurement. It would not specify the
location nor type of thermometer, only the form and frequency in which the data is made available. However it is possible
that a Jurisdiction [4.9] may additionally specify that the equipment if of a particular type or operates within some
parameters that it has specified, but such specification is outside this part of ISO 15638.
However, so long as the general requirements for service provision are compatible, TARV may also be used
to provide a range of services defined by appropriate expert groups.
