ISO 14813-1:2015

Overview

ISO 14813-1:2015 - Intelligent transport systems (ITS) - Reference model architecture(s) for the ITS sector - Part 1 defines the primary ITS service domains, service groups and services that an ITS implementation can provide. This second-edition standard catalogues a structured service taxonomy (13 service domains with their service groups and services) and explains how these services relate to Cooperative‑ITS (connected vehicles), reference architectures, and standards development. It is advisory and intended to support interoperability, common data definitions and coherent ITS architectures.

Key Topics

• ITS service taxonomy: identification of 13 service domains and associated service groups that form a common descriptive basis for ITS architectures.
• Cooperative‑ITS relationship: guidance on which services are enabled, enhanced or unaffected by Cooperative‑ITS; treating Cooperative‑ITS as a delivery mechanism for many services.
• Use-case and requirements input: services are intended to form the basis for use cases, user needs, or user service requirements depending on chosen architecture methodology.
• Data and interoperability: guidance on using services to define applicable data (data dictionaries, object identifiers), communications and data‑exchange standards.
• Reference architecture support: helps integrate services into cohesive ITS reference architectures and map existing national or regional architectures to a common model.
• Audience: aimed at ITS architects, standards developers and stakeholders in ISO TC 204, CEN TC 278 and related working groups.

Service Domains (annexes)

ISO 14813-1:2015 covers these domains (each detailed in an annex):

• Traveller Information
• Traffic Management and Operations
• Vehicle Services
• Freight Transport
• Public Transport
• Emergency Services
• Transport‑related Payment
• Road Transport Related Personal Safety
• Weather and Environmental Conditions Monitoring
• Disaster Response Management and Coordination
• National Security
• ITS Data Management
• Performance Management

Applications

• Developing or updating national/regional ITS architectures by selecting relevant service domains and groups.
• Creating use cases, user needs and functional requirements that feed ITS system design and procurement.
• Guiding standards development and mapping new standards to ITS service groups for consistency across regions.
• Designing interoperable solutions for traveler information, traffic management, tolling, fleet and freight management, emergency response, and connected‑vehicle services.
• Defining common data dictionaries, object identifiers and communications interfaces to improve cross‑vendor and cross‑agency interoperability.

Who Should Use It

• ITS architects and systems engineers
• Standards developers (ISO TC 204, CEN TC 278, national committees)
• Transport agencies, public transport operators, freight and fleet managers
• Vendors and software developers building ITS components
• Researchers and consultants working on ITS deployments

Related Standards

ISO 14813 is part of a series (Part 5: architecture description requirements; Part 6: ASN.1 data presentation) and is intended to be used alongside other TC 204/CEN standards for ITS data exchange, communications and system architecture.
