Introduction
CEN/TC 278 has produced a set of standards that supports interoperable dedicated short-range
communication (DSRC)-based electronic fee collection (EFC) systems (e.g. EN ISO 14906, a “toolbox” for
definition of EFC-DSRC transactions). However, these standards provide necessary but not sufficient
support for technical interoperability between EFC-DSRC-systems.
This document specifies an Interoperable Application Profile (IAP) to support EFC-DSRC transactions,
with a coherent set of requirements. The main objective is to support technical interoperability
between EFC-systems within the scope of this document (as described in Clause 1). A basic description
of the EFC-service and an EFC System can be found in EN ISO 17573-1.
This document specifies a basic level of technical interoperability for EFC equipment, i.e. on-board unit
(OBU) and roadside equipment (RSE) using DSRC. It does not provide a full solution for interoperability,
nor does it specify other parts of the EFC-system, other services, other technologies and non-technical
elements of interoperability.
The elaboration of this document is based on the experiences from a considerable number of
implementations and projects throughout Europe. This document makes use of the results from
European projects such as CARDME, PISTA and CESARE, as they represent fruits of European EFC
harmonization and have been used as the basis for several national implementations.
The development of a common European electronic toll service (EETS) as a part of the European
[19]
Directive (2004/52/EC ) also calls for the definition of an interoperable EFC-service. The first edition
of this document was referenced as a mandatory element in the service definition of the EETS, in the EC
[20]
decision 2009/750/EC .
The revision of the EETS legislation (recast in EU legal parlance) resulted in the adoption of Directive
[21]
2019/520/EC on the interoperability of electronic road tolling systems and facilitating cross-border
exchange of information on the failure to pay road fees in the Union, which refers to the second edition of
this document (EN 15509:2014) as a mandatory element for the EETS. Further technical and
procedural characteristics of the EETS were laid down in the associated Commission Delegated
[22] [23]
Regulation (EU) 2020/203 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/204 .
Although there are standards and specifications, there are specific needs that motivate this document:
— Definition of the necessary and sufficient EFC-DSRC requirements to underpin technical
interoperability;
— Choice of data elements including vehicle data;
— Extended definition of the use of some data elements, including semantics and coding;
— Choice of security measures;
— It facilitates a complementing test specification with clear relations between the conformance
requirements and evaluation tests;
— The provisions laid down in Directive 2019/520/EC and the associated Commission Regulations;
— Support for procurements.
The Application Profile is described using the concept of “International Standardized Profiles (ISP)” as
[15]
specified in ISO/IEC TR 10000-1 . The ISP-concept is specifically suited for defining interoperability
specifications where a set of base standards can be used in different ways. This is exactly the case in
EFC, where a set of base standards allows for different choices that are not interoperable.
The principles of the ISP-concept can be summarized as follows:
— An ISP makes references only to base standards or other ISPs;
— The profile restricts the choice of base standard options to the extent necessary to maximize the
probability of interoperability (e.g. chosen classes, conforming subsets, options and parameter
values of base standards);
— The ISP does not copy content of the base standards to ensure consistency with the base standards;
— The profile does not specify any requirements that would contradict or cause non-conformance to
the base standards;
— The profile may contain conformance requirements that are more specific and limited in scope than
those of the base standards;
— Conformance to a profile implies conformance to a set of base standards, whereas conformance to
that set of base standards does not necessarily imply conformance to the profile.
The use of the Application Profiling concept also provides for a flexible framework towards adoption,
migration and use of this document. Toll Chargers (TCs), Toll Service Providers (TSPs) and
Manufacturers may use this IAP as a basis for interoperable use of their equipment, without having to
interfere with or otherwise affect any EFC-system used locally.
The general requirements of this document are set out in Clause 5, whilst the specific conformance
requirements are given in Clause 6. For ease of referencing, testing and look-up, these specific
requirements are divided into two parts; on-board unit (OBU) requirements and roadside equipment
(RSE) requirements.
For future use, it is envisaged that other IAPs may be defined using the same structure as is defined in
Clause 6. Annex C contains IAP taxonomy and numbering.
In addition, this document includes various annexes that provide further detailed specifications as well
as background, motivation and examples for the conformance requirements. These are intended to
enhance the readability and understanding of the document.
This document is complemented by standard EN 15876 that specifies how to evaluate on-board and
roadside equipment for conformity to EN 15509 (this document).
1 Scope
The scope of this document is limited to:
— payment method: central account based on EFC-DSRC;
— physical systems: on-board unit (OBU), roadside equipment (RSE) and the DSRC interface between
them (all functions and information flows related to these parts);
— DSRC-link requirements;
— EFC transactions over the DSRC interface;
— data elements to be used by OBU and RSE used in EFC-DSRC transactions;
— security mechanisms for OBU and RSE used in EFC-DSRC transactions.
It is outside the scope of this document to specify:
— contractual and procedural interoperability requirements;
— conformance procedures and test specifications;
— setting-up of operating organizations e.g. toll charger (TC), toll service provider (TSP), trusted third
party, etc.;
— other payment methods in DSRC-based EFC (e.g. on-board accounts using integrated circuit cards);
— other basic technologies (e.g. GNSS/CN or video registration-based EFC);
— non-EFC transactions over the DSRC interface (e.g. compliance check communication and
localization augmentation communication, which are specified in other standards);
— other interfaces or functions in EFC-systems than those specified above (i.e. information flows and
data exchange between operators or personalization, initialization and customization of the OBU).
NOTE Some of the issues that are outside the scope of this document are subject of separate standards
prepared by CEN/TC 278, ISO/TC 204 and ETSI ERM.

5.1 General
This clause describes in general terms what it means for an implementation to be in conformity with
the profile in this document applicable to the DSRC link between OBU and RSE, as illustrated in
Figure 1 as the area within the box delimited with a dotted line.
Figure 1 — Scope of this document
5.2 Base standards
This document specifies one Application Profile based on the ISP-concept. It is based on the following
base standards:
— EN ISO 14906 on EFC application interface definition for DSRC
NOTE 1 This implies an indirect reference to EN ISO 14816 on “Numbering and data structure”.
— EN 12834 on DSRC application layer (L7),
— EN 13372 on DSRC profiles
NOTE 2 This implies indirect references to EN 12253 (“DSRC L1”), EN 12795 (“DSRC L2”) and EN 12834
(“DSRC L7”).
The relationship and references between base standards and this document are illustrated in Figure 2.
Figure 2 — Relationship and references between base standards and this document
All requirements specified in this document are either choices made from these base standards or are
more specific requirements based on the general provisions of these standards.
The organization of the DSRC-stack and the link with the profile are illustrated in Figure 3.
NOTE The abbreviated terms used in Figure 3 are defined in Clause 4.
Figure 3 — DSRC-stack elements
5.3 Main contents of an EFC-DSRC-IAP
The conformance requirements of an interoperable application profile (IAP) are divided between
requirements for the OBU and the RSE. The requirements are listed separately for OBU and RSE. This
applies for all parts; requirements, protocol implementation conformance statement (PICS) and
conformance testing.
The conformance requirements of an IAP according to this document include the following parts
(divided into separate requirements for OBU and RSE):
— DSRC requirements;
— DSRC L7 and EFC functions;
— data requirements;
— security requirements;
— transaction requirements.
5.4 Conformance requirements
Conformance requirements are specified in Clause 6, supplemented by Annex A.
NOTE Conformance requirements are deliberately expressed concisely, to provide clear and verifiable
requirements. For motivations, explanations, etc., see the supporting parts of this document (Foreword,
Introduction, the informative Annexes C-G).
5.5 Conformation notification
A statement of conformance to a specific IAP shall be done according to the ICS proforma requirements
specified in Annex B.
5.6 Conformance evaluation and testing
Conformance evaluation and testing shall be done according to provisions laid down in EN 15876.
NOTE The use of EN 15876 implies the use of other underlying test standards for evaluation of conformance
to this document.
5.7 Multiple IAPs
This standard specifies one profile (EFC-DSRC-IAP-1) as laid down in the clause for conformance
requirements (Clause 6).
NOTE For future use, it is envisaged that other IAPs may be specified using the same structure as used in
Clause 6. A taxonomy for EFC-DSRC-IAPs is contained in Annex C.
6 Requirements for EFC-DSRC-IAP-1
6.1 OBU requirements
6.1.1 General
6.1 contains the conformance requirements on the OBU for profile number 1; EFC-DSRC-IAP-1.
6.1.2 DSRC requirements
The OBU shall comply with:
— DSRC Profiles P0 / P1 L1-B according to EN 13372, or
— DSRC Profiles P0 / P1 L1-A according to EN 13372 with a Conversion Gain which is limited to a
maximum value of 10 dB (Parameter U12b = 10 dB) and a Cut-off power level of minimum -
60 dBm (Parameter D12 = - 60 dBm).
NOTE 1 This implies indirect references to and OBU’s compliance with the underlying DSRC-standards for L1,
L2 and L7 [EN 12253, EN 12795 and EN 12834].
The following DSRC-L7 features according to EN 12834 shall be supported by the OBU:
— the length of a single Transfer-Application Protocol Data Unit (T-APDU) or multiple concatenated
T-APDUs, with or without chaining, shall not exceed the maximum logical link control (LLC) frame
length (i.e. fit into one DSRC L2 frame);
— The maximum LLC frame lengths are defined in EN 12795:2003, Annex A “Data link layer
parameters”; 128 octets in a downlink window frame or in a private uplink window frame.
NOTE 2 The requirement above implies that the fragmentation header is limited to 1 octet only.
— any “fill bit” (as specified 6.3.4 in EN L7), used for octet alignment, shall be assigned the value zero.
Annex E provides a set of guidelines on how Interlayer Management should be performed.
Annex F provides a set of guidelines on how OBU mounting should be performed.
6.1.3 DSRC L7 and EFC functions
The OBU shall support the DSRC Layer 7 services and EFC functions, defined in EN 12834 and
EN ISO 14906:2023, 7.1.2, in Table 1.
