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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
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.
ISO 15638-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 204, Intelligent transport systems.
ISO 15638 consists of the following parts, under the general title Intelligent transport systems — Framework
for collaborative Telematics Applications for Regulated commercial freight Vehicles (TARV):
 Part 1: Framework and architecture
The following parts are to be published:
 Part 2: Common platform parameters using CALM
 Part 3: Operating requirements, 'Approval Authority' procedures, and enforcement provisions for the
providers of regulated services
 Part 4: System security requirements
 Part 5: Generic vehicle information
 Part 6: Regulated applications
 Part 7: Other applications
Subsequent parts of ISO 15638 will provide definitions for specific TARV application services.
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 charging, digital tachograph, 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 (4.15), it is timely to consider an
overall architecture (4.7) (business and functional) that could support these functions from a single platform
within a commercial freight vehicle that operates within such regulations. International standards will allow for
a speedy development and specification (4.40) 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 (4.20)
and requirements so that the on-board equipment and back office (4.9) systems can be commercially designed
in an open market to meet common requirements of jurisdictions (4.24).
This suite of standards addresses and defines the framework (4.20) for a range of cooperative telematics
applications for regulated commercial freight vehicles (4.37) (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 freight vehicles (4.37), using an on-board ITS platform. The framework (4.20) is based on
a (multiple) service provider (4.39) oriented approach provisions for the approval and auditing of service
providers (4.40).
This suite of standards deliverables:
 provides the basis for future development of cooperative telematics applications for regulated commercial
freight vehicles (4.37). Many elements to accomplish this are already available. Existing relevant standards
will be referenced, and the specifications (4.41) will use existing standards (such as CALM) wherever
practicable.
 allows for a powerful platform for highly cost-effective delivery of a range of telematics applications for
regulated commercial freight vehicles (4.37).
 presents a business architecture (4.7) based on a (multiple) service provider (4.39) oriented approach.
 addresses legal and regulatory aspects for the approval and auditing of service providers (4.40).
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 ca
