process of identifying vehicles using OBE combined with the unambiguous data structure

collation of goods to be moved

NOTE A packet can be a single unit, or a collection of smaller packets and items that will be bundled into a receptacle which will be carried in equipment (such as an ISO intermodal container) as a sub component of an AEI item. Packets are defined by the International Standards of JTC 1/SC 31, Automatic identification and data capture techniques.

certification authority whose certificates can be verified because its public verification key(s) are written as read-only data into the ERT before the ERT is customized or commissioned

number assigned to and written into an ERT that acts as an ERT unique identifier

NOTE The ERT number is assumed to be written into the ERT during its manufacture and once written cannot be changed.

device used to read or read/write data from or to an “Electronic Registration Tag” (ERT)

vehicle identifying data which can be obtained from an ERT

NOTE ERI data consists of the vehicle identifier and possible additional vehicle data.

ERI data in addition to the vehicle identifier

legal or natural person holding an ERT

NOTE The ERT holder could be, for example, the holder of the registration number or the owner, operator or keeper of the vehicle.

the passing of data sets comprising an entire message from one computer to another or from one software system to another

ERI writer not being part of the onboard ERI equipment

NOTE 1 An external ERI writer is not fitted within or on the outside of the vehicle.

NOTE 2 A distinction is made between proximity, short-range (DSRC), and remote external writers. A proximity reader can be, for example , a PCD (proximity coupling device) as specified in ISO/IEC 14443. A short-range external ERI writer can be (a part of) roadside equipment, handheld equipment, or mobile equipment. A remote external ERI writer can be part of the back office equipment (BOE).

entity whose identity can be authenticated

action or act of establishing the identity of a specific vehicle near an external ERI reader (ERR) without pinpointing the exact position of the vehicle

NOTE If there is more than one vehicle present in the vicinity of a reader, no specific vehicle, or its exact location, is identified. However, it will establish that a specific vehicle identity has passed in the vicinity of a reader.

action or act of establishing the identity of a vehicle

prescribed list of reference identifiers which relate to prescribed coding schemes

action or act of establishing the identity of a specific vehicle

NOTE 1 This is in contrast to vehicle vicinity identification, where the vicinity of a vehicle with a specific identity is detected. With specific vehicle identification, it is also known which specific vehicle has been identified.

NOTE 2 Two kinds of specific vehicle identification may be distinguished: first, localized vehicle identification, in which case the location of the identified vehicle is known with such precision that not more than one vehicle can be present at the same time at that location; second, peer communication identification, in which case the identification of the vehicle engaged in some form of communication (e.g. an EFC transaction) is established.

groupings of common class requirements to support interoperability between AVI/AEI systems of common purpose

document which evidences a contract of the carriage and the taking over or loading of the goods by the carrier, and by which the carrier undertakes to deliver the goods against surrender of the document

NOTE A provision in the document that the goods are to be delivered to the order of a named person, or to order, or to bearer, constitutes such an undertaking. The document has the following functions: — a receipt for goods, signed by a duly authorised person on behalf of the carriers; — a document of title to the goods described therein; — evidence of the terms and conditions of carriage agreed upon between the two parties.

a data mode corresponding to an OBE in which data content can be changed by means of a compatible interrogator via the air interface

that which is to be transported from the consignor to the receiver and which comprises the consignment, packaging, pallets and or containers that are smaller than an ISO container

one trip pallets, containers or packaging which is not returned to the consignor or returnables manager

intermodal transport units which are smaller than a standard 20-foot-ISO-Standard container or CEN-swap body

NOTE Small containers are also called medium containers or “less than container unit” (LCU).

NOTE The size of such LCU´s will be at least one ISO- or Euro-palette.

“read only” functionality with a start signal from the FE side

equipment fitted within or on the outside of the vehicle and used for ERI purposes

NOTE The onboard equipment includes the ERT and any communication provisions for the exchange of ERI data with an ERI reader or writer.

entity responsible for issuing the ERI application including personalisation of mandatory AVI/AEI attributes in the ERT

procedure for registration as defined in ISO/TS 24534-3

a set of parameters constituting a certain international standardized profile of the DSRC protocol stack (L1, L2 and L7)

commercial operator of an AVI/AEI/RTTT system that uses OBEs for the purposes defined in EN ISO 14814

the entity responsible for facilitating the ERR for a defined purpose

commercial operator of an AVI/AEI/RTTT system that uses OBE(s) for the purposes defined in ISO 14814

common term describing an automatic identification system comprising one or more reader/interrogator(s) and one or more OBE(s) in which communication and data transfer is achieved by wireless means of electromagnetic signals

NOTE It varies from low frequency (inductive) to microwave frequencies.

vehicle registration document (paper or smart card) issued by the registration authority for vehicles in which the vehicle and its owner or lessee are registered

an instance of a ’Vehicle Identification’ using a harmonised air interface protocol known as ‘CEN DSRC profile’, using a distinct set of ‘AVI/AEI attributes’, retrieved by ‘service primitives (communication)’ and ‘security mechanisms’

fixed equipment function to control the communication between fixed equipment and OBE

function of managing information in a system

NOTE The role of information manager can be provided by one or many actors. The role of information manager can be performed internally by one or more of the system principal actors, or can be formed commercially or altruistically by one or more third parties.

component, which receives data from ‘AEI Readers’ and compares it with information in a data base at which point an ok or error message is generated and transferred to the message display component

system for achieving accurate and unambiguous identification of a data-bearing OBE, tag, transponder or natural/prescribed feature, the data or feature being interrogated by means of a system-appropriate source

system providing unique identification of a vehicle by wireless communications between an electronic registration tag carried on a vehicle and an electronic registration reader, and supporting features for a number of purposes and with a minimal to high level of security

NOTE 1 For special purposes the TAG can be installed in a fixed position with a mobile reader.

NOTE 2 See transponder.

completed cycle of communication (across the air interface at reference point delta) wherein a message identifying a vehicle or item of equipment is successfully received and understood by the receiver during one passage through the read zone

NOTE The number of attempts, retries and repeats is not relevant, it is only that one fully completed identification process communication cycle is successfully completed to the extent that no communications error could be detected.

electronic transmitter/responder which responds to the receipt of suitable modulated or unmodulated downlink signals and transmits predetermined information according to predefined protocols at a predetermined frequency

NOTE The transmissions can be powered from energy obtained from the downlink or can be assisted by an on-board power supply. Forms the core, but not necessarily the only, function of an OBE. Within the AVI/AEI context it is fitted to AVI/AEI vehicle or equipment and its prime function is to provide the identity of the item, but can also contain additional information. In some special purposes transponders can be installed in fixed positions and read by mobile equipment.
