ISO 13111-1:2017

Overview

ISO 13111-1:2017 - part of the Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) family - defines general information and detailed use case definitions for using a personal ITS station (P‑ITS‑S) to provide and maintain ITS services for travellers (drivers, passengers and pedestrians). The standard covers scenarios for slow transport (walking, cycling, wheelchair), transfer and hub environments (stations, car parks, indoor transfer areas), multi‑modal traffic information, multi‑modal routing/re‑routing and real‑time guidance (voice/image/text/map), plus community activities like team travel.

Key topics and technical scope

• P‑ITS‑S role and configurations: architecture components, P‑ITS‑S configurations and interfaces with roadside (R‑ITS‑S), central (C‑ITS‑S) and vehicle ITS stations.
• Use case clusters and definitions: detailed use cases such as positioning requests, slow‑transport navigation, transfer/parking information, indoor navigation, trip planning, real‑time traffic and public transport updates, evacuation/emergency services, vehicle status access (P2V), location sharing and team travel.
• Application behaviour: static and dynamic multi‑modal routing, re‑routing, real‑time guidance presentation (voice/image/text/map) and data exchange patterns between personal stations and ITS infrastructure.
• Normative integration: aligns with related ITS protocols and information models (references include ISO/TR 13185, ISO 19132/19133/19134, ISO/TS 18234, ISO 14819 and SAE J2735), ensuring harmonised data exchange and interoperability.

Practical applications and users

ISO 13111-1 is intended for organisations designing, deploying or integrating traveller‑facing ITS services:

• App developers and mobile platform teams implementing multi‑modal navigation, pedestrian and accessibility routing.
• Transport operators and hubs (rail, bus, integrated transport hubs) providing transfer, arrival/departure and platform/wayfinding services.
• City authorities and smart‑city integrators deploying real‑time traffic, pedestrian and transfer node services.
• Vehicle OEMs and telematics providers integrating P2V interactions and traveler services.
• Accessibility planners and emergency services using evacuation and rescue use cases for vulnerable travellers.

Related standards

Relevant ISO and industry references that support or complement ISO 13111‑1:

• ISO/TR 13185 (communication architecture)
• ISO 19132 / 19133 / 19134 (location/tracking/navigation schemas)
• ISO/TS 18234, ISO 14819 (traffic message formats)
• SAE J2735 (DSRC message sets)

ISO 13111-1:2017 is a practical reference for anyone building interoperable, traveller-focused ITS applications using personal ITS stations, helping to standardize use cases and interfaces across multi‑modal transport ecosystems.
