Introduction
Many ITS technologies have been embraced by commercial transport operators (4.30) and freight owners, in
the areas of fleet management, safety and security. Telematics (4.41) applications have also been developed
for governmental use. Such regulatory services in use or being considered vary from jurisdiction (4.25) to
jurisdiction, but include electronic on-board recorders, digital tachograph (4.40), on-board mass (4.28)
monitoring, ‘mass’ data for regulatory control and management (4.29), vehicle access (4.1) methods, hazardous
goods (4.21) tracking and e-call (4.17). Additional applications with a regulatory impact being developed include
fatigue management, speed monitoring and heavy vehicle penalties imposed based on location, distance and
time.
In such an emerging environment of regulatory and commercial applications (4.12), it is timely to consider an
overall architecture (4.8) (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 (4.39) of new applications that build upon the functionality of a generic
specification platform. A suite of standards is required to describe and define the framework (4.20) 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 (4.25).
This suite of standards addresses and defines the framework (4.20) for a range of cooperative telematics (4.41)
applications for regulated vehicles (4.34) [such as access methods, driver fatigue management, speed
monitoring, on-board mass (4.28) monitoring, penalties and levies]. The overall scope includes the concept of
operation, legal and regulatory issues, and the generic cooperative provision of services to regulated vehicles
(4.34), using an on-board ITS platform. The framework is based on a (multiple) service provider (4.37) oriented
approach with provisions for the approval (4.5) and auditing (4.9) of service providers.
This suite of standards will:
 provide the basis for future development of cooperative telematics (4.41) applications for regulated
vehicles (4.34). Many elements to accomplish this are already available. Existing relevant standards
will be referenced, and the specifications (4.39) 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 vehicles (4.34);
 a business architecture (4.8) based on a (multiple) service provider (4.37) oriented approach;
 address legal and regulatory aspects for the approval (4.5) and auditing (4.9) of service providers.
This suite of standards deliverables is timely as many governments (Europe, North America, Asia and
Australia/New Zealand) are considering the use of telematics (4.41) 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 provides specifications (4.39) for remote tachograph monitoring.
NOTE 1 The definition of what comprises a ‘regulated’ vehicle is regarded as an issue for national decision, and may
vary from jurisdiction (4.25) to jurisdiction. This suite of standards does not impose any requirements on nations in respect
of how they define a regulated vehicle (4.34).
NOTE 2 The definition of what comprises a ‘regulated’ service is regarded as an issue for national decision, and may
vary from jurisdiction (4.25) to jurisdiction. This suite of standards does not impose any requirements on nations in respect
of which services for regulated vehicles (4.34) jurisdictions 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.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION ISO/TS 15638-9:2013(E)

Intelligent transport systems — Framework for collaborative
Telematics Applications for Regulated commercial freight
Vehicles (TARV) —
Part 9:
Remote electronic tachograph monitoring (RTM)
1 Scope
This part of ISO 15638 addresses the provision of ‘Remote Tachograph Monitoring’ and specifies the form
and content of such data required to support such systems, and access methods to that data.
This part of ISO 15638 provides specifications (4.39) for common communications and data exchange aspects
of the application service (4.2) remote tachograph monitoring that a regulator (4.35) may elect to require or
support as an option, including:
a) high level definition of the service that a service provider (4.37) has to provide [the service definition
describes common service elements, but does not define the detail of how such an application service
(4.2) is instantiated, nor the acceptable value ranges of the data concepts defined];
b) means to realise the service;
c) application data, naming content and quality that an IVS (4.22) has to deliver.
The definition of what comprises a ‘regulated’ service is regarded as an issue for national decision, and may
vary from jurisdiction (4.25) to jurisdiction. This part of ISO 15638 does not impose any requirements on
nations in respect of which services for regulated vehicles (4.34) jurisdictions will require, or support as an
option, but provides standardized sets of requirements descriptions for identified services to enable consistent
and cost efficient implementations where instantiated.
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
Requirements to demonstrate conformance to any of the general provisions or specific application services
(4.2) described in this part of ISO 15638 shall be within the regulations imposed by the jurisdiction (4.25) where
they are instantiated. Conformance requirements to meet the provisions of this part of ISO 15638 are
therefore deemed to be under the control of, and to the specification of, the jurisdiction where the application
service(s) is/are instantiated.
The protocols defined in this part of ISO 15638 have been independently tested. Annex A (Informative)
provides results of these tests. In any conformance assurance process undertaken by candidate systems,
where appropriate the results may be used as part of its process of conformance compliance.

The means by which the access commands for generic vehicle information specified in ISO 15638-5 can be
used to provide all or part of the data required in order to support a regulated application service (4.33) shall be
as defined in ISO 15638-6.
8 Application services that require data in addition to basic vehicle data
8.1 General
Shall be conducted as defined in ISO 15638-6.
8.2 Quality of service requirements
This part of ISO 15638 contains no general requirements concerning quality of service. Such aspects shall be
determined by a jurisdiction (4.25) as part of its specification (4.39) for any particular regulated application
service (4.33). However, where a specified regulated application service (4.33) has specific Q of S requirements
essential to maintain interoperability, these aspects shall be as specified in Clause 10.
8.3 Test requirements
This part of ISO 15638 contains no general requirements concerning test requirements. Such aspects shall be
determined by a jurisdiction (4.25) as part of its specification (4.39) for any particular regulated application
service (4.33), and issued as a formal test requirements specification (4.39) document. However, where a
specified regulated application service (4.33) has specific test requirements essential to maintain
interoperability, these aspects shall be as specified in Clause 10 relating to this regulated application service,
or in a separate standards document referenced within that Clause. And where multiple jurisdictions recognise
a benefit to common test procedures for a specific regulated application service, this shall be the subject of a
separate standards document.
8.4 Marking, labelling and packaging
This part of ISO 15638 has no specific requirements for marking labelling or packaging.
However, where the privacy of an individual may be potentially or actually compromised by any instantiation
based on the ISO 15638 family of Standards, the contracting parties shall make such risk explicitly known to
the implementing jurisdiction (4.25) and shall abide by the privacy laws and regulations of the implementing
jurisdiction and shall mark up or label any contracts specifically and explicitly drawing attention to any loss of
privacy and precautions taken to protect privacy. Attention is drawn to ISO TR 12859 in this respect.
9 Common features of regulated TARV application services
9.1 General
The details of the instantiation of regulated application service (4.33) are as designed by the application service
system to meet the requirements of a particular jurisdiction (4.25) and are not defined herein. ISO 15638-6
specifies the generic roles and responsibilities of actors in the systems, and instantiations that claim
compliance with this part of ISO 15638 shall also be compliant with the requirements of ISO 15638-6.
The means by which data is provisioned into the data pantry (4.14), and the means to obtain the TARV LDT
(4.27) and core data (4.13) are described in Clause 8 of ISO 15638-6.
In order to minimise demand on the IVS (4.22) (which it is assumed will be performing multiple application
services (4.2) simultaneously, as well as supporting general safety related cooperative vehicle systems), and
because national requirements and system offerings will differ, a ‘cloud’ approach has been taken in defining
TARV regulated application services (4.33).
The TARV approach is for the on-board app (4.1) supporting the application service to collect and collate the
relevant data, and at intervals determined by the app, or on demand from the application service provider
(4.3)(ASP), pass that data to the ASP. All of the actual application service processing shall occur in the
mainframe system of the ASP (in the ‘cloud’).
For further information see Clause 9 of ISO 15638-6.
At a conceptual level, The TARV system is therefore essentially simple, as shown in Figure 1. The process is
similar to that for CoreData, but data is supplied to a different on-board file in the data pantry (4.14).

At a common generic functional level for this application service, the process may be seen as shown in
Figure 2 below, however the connected equipment may/may not be required in all cases.
9.2 Common role of the jurisdiction, approval authority, service provider and user
The Common role of the jurisdiction, approval authority, application service provider and user shall be as
defined in ISO 15638-6.
