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.
In other circumstances, particularly when there is an urgent market requirement for such documents, a
technical committee may decide to publish other types of document:
— an ISO Publicly Available Specification (ISO/PAS) represents an agreement between technical experts in
an ISO working group and is accepted for publication if it is approved by more than 50 % of the members
of the parent committee casting a vote;
— an ISO Technical Specification (ISO/TS) represents an agreement between the members of a technical
committee and is accepted for publication if it is approved by 2/3 of the members of the committee casting
a vote.
An ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is reviewed after three years in order to decide whether it will be confirmed for a
further three years, revised to become an International Standard, or withdrawn. If the ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is
confirmed, it is reviewed again after a further three years, at which time it must either be transformed into an
International Standard or be withdrawn.
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/TS 18234-11 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee
CEN/TC 278, Road transport and traffic telematics, in collaboration with ISO Technical Committee TC 204,
Intelligent transport systems in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and
CEN (Vienna Agreement).
ISO/TS 18234 consists of the following parts, under the general title Intelligent transport systems — Traffic

Introduction
TPEG technology uses a byte-oriented data stream format, which may be carried on almost any digital bearer
with an appropriate adaptation layer. TPEG messages are delivered from service providers to end-users and
used to transfer information from the database of a service provider to an end-user’s equipment.
The brief history of TPEG technology development dates back to the European Broadcasting Union (EBU)
Broadcast Management Committee establishing the B/TPEG project group in autumn 1997 with the mandate
to develop, as soon as possible, a new protocol for broadcasting traffic and travel-related information in the
multimedia environment. TPEG technology, its applications and service features are designed to enable
travel-related messages to be coded, decoded, filtered and understood by humans (visually and/or audibly in
the user’s language) and by agent systems.
One year later in December 1998, the B/TPEG group produced its first EBU specifications. Two documents
were released. Part 2 (TPEG1-SSF, which became ISO/TS 18234-2) described the Syntax, Semantics and
Framing structure, which is used for all TPEG applications. Part 4 (TPEG1-RTM, which became
ISO/TS 18234-4 described the first application, for Road Traffic Messages.
Subsequently, CEN/TC 278/WG 4, in conjunction with ISO/TC 204/WG 10, established a project group
comprising the members of B/TPEG and they continued the work concurrently since March 1999. Since then
two further parts were developed to make the initial complete set of four parts, enabling the implementation of
a consistent service. Part 3 (TPEG1-SNI, ISO/TS 18234-3) describes the Service and Network Information
Application, which should be used by all service implementations to ensure appropriate referencing from one
service source to another. Part 1 (TPEG1-INV, ISO/TS 18234-1), completes the series, by describing the
other parts and their relationship; it also contains the application IDs used within the other parts. Additionally,
Part 5, the Public Transport Information Application (TPEG1-PTI, ISO/TS 18234-5) and TPEG1-LRC,
ISO/TS 18234-6), were developed.
This Technical Specification adds a powerful mechanism for the ISO/TS 18234 series, allowing detailed road
event information to be encoded and transmitted to the user; it was developed specifically to satisfy the need
for a number of location referencing methods for Navigation Systems for worldwide markets. This Technical
Specification includes new datatypes as specified in Annex A.
TPEG applications are now developed using UML modelling and a software tool is used to automatically
select content which then populates this Technical Specification. Diagrammatic extracts from the model are
used to show the capability of the binary coding in place of lengthy text descriptions; the diagrams do not
necessarily include all relevant content possible.
During the development of the TPEG technology a number of versions have been documented and various
trials implemented using various versions of the specifications. At the time of the publication of this Technical
Specification, the original parts are fully inter-workable and no specific dependencies exist. Now, however, at
least for TPEG1-TEC, profiles are used to define which Applications should be used together. For example
TPEG1-TEC is used only with TPEG1-LRC containing DLR1 and never with TPEG1-LOC.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION ISO/TS 18234-11:2013(E)

Intelligent transport systems — Traffic and Travel Information
(TTI) via transport protocol experts group, generation 1 (TPEG1)
binary data format —
Part 11:
Location Referencing Container (TPEG1-LRC)
1 Scope
This Technical Specification establishes the method of signalling the specific location referencing used by all
TPEG1 applications that require detailed location information to be delivered to client devices such as TPEG1-
RTM, TPEG1-PTI, TPEG1-TEC or TPEG1-PKI. The TPEG1-Location Referencing Container (TPEG1-LRC) is
described, as well as how it is used to signal which specific location referencing method is in use for a
particular TPEG Message. It is able to handle Location Referencing methods that are external to
ISO/TS 18234 (all parts) and the internal location referencing method (TPEG1-LOC) defined in
ISO/TS 18234-6.
