Introduction
In a scenario of land international transport and logistics, it is often difficult for a consignor and a
consignee to know the physical real time location of cargo after consigning the cargo to a transport
and logistics service provider. Where a cargo is transferred from one haulier (i.e. haulage contractor) to
another, obtaining information of the manifest at a detailed level is often difficult. Auditing the actual
content of a consignment en route, and monitoring cargo stress measurement information during road
transport, is also difficult, especially in the case of sealed containers such as sealed ISO intermodal
containers. It is a different task to that of progressing order administration from consignor to consignee.
There is no single organization responsible for standards through the intermodal supply chain. The
ISO 26683 series is a co-ordinating standard that builds on, uses and can provide data to instantiations
which use ISO/TS 24533, ISO 17687, UN/CEFACT, ISO 7372, EDIFACT, UBL, ISO 17261, ISO 17262,
ISO 17263 and other standards.
Even where comprehensive international freight transport systems are in place, they rely on the level of
detail that exists within its controlling computer system, and without the ability to monitor the actual
contents, there is no possibility to:
a) audit the actual contents of the consignment. This is particularly difficult in the case of a sealed
intermodal container (ISO 668 and subsequent related standards for freight containers);
b) monitor the condition of the contents of the consignment (cargo stress measurement information).
The ISO 26683 series of standards are therefore complementary to the context of ISO 24533 and can
provide sources of data required by such systems, and an electronic auditing capability. ISO 17687 does
not address the means by which its data are collected and 26683 provides several optional means to
collect its data.
The ISO 26683 series envisages that a combination of existing technologies can be used to
agglomerate/aggregate relevant data and use a tractor/truck mounted communications means to
realize real time cargo visibility of land transport, and is thus not dependent on future technologies
(although will be suitable for future technical means to deliver its profile data).
Part 1 specifies the context and architecture and provides a list of reference standards for the ISO 26683
series. Further details concerning the complementary nature of the ISO 26683 series of standards
to ISO 24533, EFM, ISO 17687, IEEE 1512.3, UN/CEFACT, particularly UN/CEFACT UMM, ISO 7372,
OASIS/UBL can be found ISO 26683-1, Clauses 5 and 6.
ISO 26683 is designed to present data concerning end-to-end cargo application systems. It does not
provide end to end system (consignor to consignee) system design.
This part of ISO 26683 is the second part of a multi-part series of standards and provides optional
application interface profiles for ‘Freight land conveyance content identification and communication’
(FLC-CIC). It is limited to the land aspects of transport.
This part of ISO 26683 defines application interface profiles to agglomerate/aggregate and transfer land
cargo transport data to an interrogator in order to provide improved land cargo transport data and to
specify one or more modes of transfer using available ICT technologies.
Part 3 will specify the handling of on-board cargo stress measurement information during road transport
Part 4 will provide a security profile requirements and definitions.

Part 2:
Application interface profiles
1 Scope
This part of ISO 26683 provides application interface profiles for land cargo transport data agglomeration
and transfer (within the context and architecture described in ISO 26683-1), using one or more of the
international standards listed and defined in Annex A of 26683-1.
NOTE ISO 26683 is designed to present information on end-to-end cargo application systems. It does not
provide end to end system (consignor to consignee) system design.
This part of ISO 26683 defines a number of application interface profiles for land cargo transport data
to provide more land cargo transport visibility by using current technical standards, specifications and
technologies related to cargo transport.

5 Context
5.1 General
The context, architecture and list and summary of referenced standards are provided in ISO 26683-1.
This part of ISO 26683 provides definitions of profiles that may be used to provide interoperable
movement of data from items to OBE and from OBE to an interrogating station.
All profiles defined in this part of ISO 26683 are OPTIONAL. That is to say that there is no requirement
to use these profiles, but where selected and used in conformance, they provide a declared basis for
interoperability.
5.2 Transfer of data from tags to interrogators (Profile level 3)
To be in accordance with the referenced standard(s) (See ISO 26683-1, 6.6/Normative Annex A) specified
in the application interface profile used.
5.3 Transfer of data from trailers to OBE (Profile level 2)
For closed fleets to be at the determination of the fleet operator.
For open fleets where interrogation is to occur outside of the closed system, to be in accordance with the
referenced standard(s) (See ISO 26683-1, 6.6/Normative Annex A) specified in the application interface
profile used.
5.4 Transfer of data from OBE to infrastructure (Profile level 1)
Level 1 profiles shall be in accordance with ISO 17261, ISO 17262, ISO 17263, ISO 17264 and/or the
standards referenced in the appropriate application interface profile defined in this part of ISO 26683.

6 Freight land conveyance content and communication ‑ Application interface
profiles
6.1 General
There is no single communication application interface profile defined in ISO 26683. Rather, ISO 26683
provides interoperability where the communication medium has been selected and is in compliance
to one or more of the communications standards referenced in 6.6/Annex A of ISO 26683-1. Where
appropriate, the nature of the application interface exchanges are defined in the profiles.
The profiles defined in this clause respect the high level profile format defined in ISO 10000-1.
6.2 Taxonomy of Freight land conveyance content and communication application in-
terface profiles
The taxonomy of the ISO 26683 profiles provide ‘Profiles’ at three complementary levels in respect
of communication profiles. In addition, there is a data layer profile which is portable in respect of
where they occur.
Level 1: (L1): OBE to infrastructure (roadside)
Level 2: (L2): Trailer(s) to OBE/ or items directly to OBE
Level 3: (L3): Item to OBE trailer interrogator
Level D1: Data presentation - representation formatted to client requirements
Figure 1 provides a visual representation.
Figure 1 — Taxonomy of ISO 26683‑2 data presentation and transfer profiles
Explanation of Figure 1:
Level 1: (L1): OBE to infrastructure (roadside)
This is the wireless link from the vehicle to the infrastructure.
Level 2: (L2): Trailer(s) to OBE/ or items directly to OBE.
In the case of a rigid body truck this is the data harvesting concerning the items and sensors in the truck
to the OBE (L2-1 item(s) direct to OBE Profiles, and sensor(s) direct to OBE Profiles).
In the case of a prime mover/trailer(s) combination, this is the link from the trailer(s) to the OBE in the
prime mover (L2-2).
Level 3: (L3): Item to OBE trailer interrogator, is the harvesting of data regarding the content of the
trailer, or its sensors within the trailer (prior to the harvesting of the trailer data to the OBE).
6.3 FLC‑CIC Profile No.L1‑1: ISO 15628 DSRC (OPTIONAL)
6.3.1 FLC‑CIC ‑ Profile No.L1‑1: scenario illustration
The scenario for this profile is that freight land conveyance data are collected from an en-route cargo
via on-board dedicated short-range communications (DSRC) equipment using an ISO 15628 DSRC
application layer.
See Figures 4 to 10 of ISO 26683-1 for illustrations of different views of the scenario.
6.3.2 FLC‑CIC ‑ Profile No.L1‑1: Interchange reference points
The interchange reference points may occur at any point of the cargo journey where:
a) there is installed DSRC equipment capable of supporting the ISO 15628 application layer;
b) there is on-board DSRC equipment capable of supporting the ISO 15628 application layer;
c) there are means provided to collect and store the freight land conveyance content identifications,
and related data, in the on-board equipment (OBE).
6.3.3 FLC‑CIC ‑ Profile No.L1‑1: Scope
To provide an application interface profile to enable freight land conveyance data shall be collected
from an en-route cargo with interoperable comportment using on-board dedicated short-range
communications (DSRC) equipment that supports an ISO 15628 DSRC application layer interface.
NOTE This is an enabling profile for vehicles/interrogation stations that are equipped with an ISO 15628
application layer capability. This profile does not require that vehicles and interrogation stations are so equipped.
The means by which on-board equipment collects and audits data concerning the content identification
of the cargo is not defined in this profile (ISO 26683 Profile No 1), and is a commercial decision. Other
profiles in this part of ISO 26683 may provide standard profiles to achieve this function, but the use of
such profiles is optional and is not required in order shall conform to ISO 26683 Profile No.L1-1.
Profile No.L1-1 may also be suitable to transfer ‘Dangerous Goods’/HAZMAT data (ISO 17687).
6.3.4 FLC‑CIC ‑ Profile No.L1‑1: Referenced standards
Profile L1-1 shall use data defined in one or more of the following referenced standards:
ISO 15628, Transport information and control systems (ITS) — Dedicated short range communication
(DSRC) — DSRC application layer.
10 © ISO 2013 – All rights reserved

ISO 17262, Intelligent transport systems — Automatic vehicle and equipment identification — Numbering
and data structures, and especially the CS10 data definition (7.4 in current version at the time of the
publication of this part of ISO 26683).
6.3.5 FLC‑CIC ‑ Profile No.L1‑1: Requirements
6.3.5.1 The on board equipment shall collate and audit identification data of items in the freight land
conveyance cargo and data associated with it. The means by which this is achieved is not standardised in
this Profile.
6.3.5.2 The wireless communications medium, both at the interrogation point of interrogation
(commonly known as roadside), and on board equipment shall use an appropriate wireless communications
interface and to support and be in compliance with ISO 15628.
