This Technical Specification focuses on Short Range (SR) Interface/Systems Requirements. SR systems use
an interface that allows Detection Equipment to operate some ATSVR functions in the direct line of sight of
vehicles.
SR systems enable LEAs in a particular country, to permit LEA personnel to perform actions on vehicles that
are within their immediate vicinity. Such actions can include identification of vehicle data or influencing the
vehicle from a remote site.
Standards for Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) and Automatic Equipment Identification (AEI) are being
developed by CEN/TC 278 WG12 in parallel with ISO/TC 204 WG 4. This ATSVR specification does not
prejudice those standards and does not seek to establish parameters for future AVI/AEI standards. DSRC and
AVI Standards are seen as basic technology blocks for types of short range ATSVR.
This part of CEN/TS 15213 describes the structure, bit arrangements, number representation and coding of
message elements that are typically transmitted as data. There is no requirement to make the messages as
short or as effective as possible. Emphasis is placed on making them as clear and unambiguous as possible.
For Short Range Communications, where there is very little time available for the transfer of data between
passing vehicles and detection equipment, only a subset of the message elements described in this document
can be transmitted. Therefore, in these cases, the data lengths are reduced to an absolute minimum.
Data elements such as times, dates, or geographical coordinates need not be transmitted because the
ATSVR consists of various equipment elements that communicate and interact through various interfaces in
accordance with standard procedures and protocols facilitating the recovery of stolen vehicles. These
processes may involve a human operator.
ATSVR elements include the OBE installed in the vehicles, a range of Detecting Equipment (...abbreviated)
