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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

Introduction
On-board account payment means are used, e.g., in public transport systems and in some electronic fee
collection (EFC) systems. It is expected that the deployment of on-board account payment scheme will
grow, as it has little dependence on the communication network and as it potentially can provide users
with a common payment means for a range of multi-modal transport services.
This Technical Report (TR) provides an analysis of the specific requirements of common payment
schemes within the framework of EFC systems as outlined in the existing EFC standards. The Technical
Report does this by providing more specific information about the Payment means (such as IC cards)
and the interfaces between Payment means and the other parts of an EFC system (see e.g. the previous
edition of the ISO/TS 17573:2003). Payment means and Payment means Issuer are described in
ISO 17573:2010, the latest version of the EFC architecture role model, hence allowing for the usage of
the Payment means of the EFC On-board account for payment for other services. This Technical Report
provides for an additional information (e.g. requirements, descriptions) relevant to the role of Payment
means Issuer and information flows.
The motivation for this Technical Report is as follows:
— On-board account based EFC systems using payment means are widely adopted in many countries
in Asia. In several of these countries, payment means are already used or planned to be used for
both for the EFC and for the public transport services.
— Central account based EFC systems are widely adopted in many European countries and in the USA.
Payment means used in such EFC systems can also be used in the common payment scheme (i.e. for
the payment for other services).
Though there is a description of interaction between Toll charging environment and Financial system
in the ISO 17573:2010, to provide for the On-board account EFC system used in the common payment
schemes, additional information, relevant to the interactions between the Financial system and the Toll
charging environment (i.e. interface between the Toll charging environment and objects outside of this
environment), is required.
The following are the envisaged benefits of the common usage of payment means in ITS and EFC services:
— greater convenience of transport usage both for EFC and for public transport;
— enhanced multi-modal transport, more cost-effective, efficient and environmentally friendly.
TECHNICAL REPORT ISO/TR 19639:2015(E)
Electronic fee collection — Investigation of EFC
standards for common payment schemes for multi-modal
transport services
1 Scope
Common payment scheme for multi-modal transport services, such as toll roads and public transport,
are implemented all over the world. These systems are often based on a common payment medium, e.g.
IC cards, for use in more than one transport service. The aim of this Technical Report is to analyse the
existing set of EFC standards for their suitability for using common payment media for multi-modal
transport services, where applicable identify standardisation gaps and to make proposals for such EFC
standardisation projects. This includes definition of additional information to be exchanged among the
related entities and to define the specific requirements for common payment scheme.
The scope of this Technical Report includes:
— investigation of a suitable model for EFC systems and other transport services;
— identification of the required interface definitions between the EFC and the public transport services
including e-money services;
— identification of additional needs for additional EFC related information exchange among the
related entities;
— provision of guiding information to be considered in revisions of EFC standards.
The scope includes all types of EFC sys
