This International Standard defines requirements for short-range communication for the purposes
of compliance checking in autonomous electronic fee-collecting systems. Compliance checking
communication (CCC) takes place between a road vehicles on-board equipment (OBE) and an outside
interrogator (road-side mounted equipment, mobile device or hand-held unit), and serves to establish
whether the data that are delivered by the OBE correctly reflect the road usage of the corresponding
vehicle according to the rules of the pertinent toll regime.
The operator of the compliance checking interrogator is assumed to be part of the toll charging role as
defined in ISO 17573. The CCC permits identification of the OBE, vehicle and contract, and verification
of whether the driver has fulfilled his obligations and the checking status and performance of the OBE.
The CCC reads, but does not write, OBE data.
This International Standard is applicable to OBE in an autonomous mode of operation; it is not applicable
to compliance checking in dedicated short-range communication (DSRC)-based charging systems.
It defines data syntax and semantics, but does not define a communication sequence. All the attributes
defined herein are required in any OBE claimed to be compliant with this International Standard, even
if some values are set to not defined in cases where certain functionality is not present in an OBE. The
interrogator is free to choose which attributes are read, as well as the sequence in which they are read.
In order to achieve compatibility with existing systems, the communication makes use of the attributes
defined in ISO 14906 wherever useful.
The CCC is suitable for a range of short-range communication media. Specific definitions are given
for the CEN-DSRC as specified in EN 15509, as well as for the use of ISO CALM IR, the Italian DSRC as
specified in ETSI ES 200 674-1 and ARIB DSRC as alternatives to the CEN-DSRC. The attributes and
functions defined are for compliance checking by means of the DSRC communication services provided
by DSRC layer 7, with the CCC attributes and functions made available to the CCC applications at the
road-side equipment (RSE) and OBE. The attributes and functions are defined on the level of application
data units (ADU).
The definition of the CCC includes:
the application interface between OBE and RSE (as depicted in Figure 2),
use of the generic DSRC application layer as specified in ISO 15628 and EN 12834,
use of the CEN-DSRC stack as specified in EN 15509, or other equivalent DSRC stacks as described in
Annexes C, D and E, and
security services for mutual authentication of the communication partners and for signing of data
(see Annex G).
CCC data type specifications are given in Annex A, protocol implementation conformance statement
(PICS) proforma in Annex B. An example CCC transaction is presented in Annex F. The informative
Annex H highlights how to use this International Standard for the European electronic toll service (as
defined in Commission Decision 2009/750/EC).
Test specifications are not within the scope of this International Standard.
