ISO 22085-2:2021

Overview - ISO 22085-2:2021 (ITS - Nomadic device service platform for micro mobility)

ISO 22085-2:2021 specifies functional requirements and dataset definitions for connectivity among nomadic devices (P‑ITS‑S), micro mobility (MM) vehicles and cloud servers (MMCS / C‑ITS‑S) across the trip lifecycle: pre‑trip, en‑route and post‑trip. The standard targets seamless data exchange to enable cloud‑based Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) services for small electric vehicles (e‑scooters, e‑bikes, other micro mobility). It uses the Vehicle Interface Data Format (VIDF) approach at the application layer and defines message sets and datasets per use case to support integrated mobility and parcel delivery scenarios.

Key technical topics and requirements

• Functional requirements for P‑ITS‑S ↔ V‑ITS‑S ↔ C‑ITS‑S (and MMCS) connectivity covering pre‑trip, en‑route and post‑trip interactions.
• Use case driven messages: requirements and message sets are organized by use case clusters (Pre‑trip UC1.1–1.5, En‑route UC2.1–2.7, Post‑trip UC3.1–3.4).
• Dataset definitions: Clause 7 defines messages and fields (message IDs, dataset elements and data types). Examples included:
  • request‑mm‑status / mm‑status‑response
  • charging‑station‑information, parking‑space‑information
  • navigation‑route‑information, traffic‑information, accident‑information
  • reservation‑acceptance, payment‑information, toll‑balance‑information
• Designed for ITS wireless connectivity (3G/4G/5G, Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, other short‑range links) and integration with micro mobility on‑board networks (IMN).
• The document states there are no normative references and presents a clear structure: purpose, functional requirements (Clause 6) and detailed dataset definitions (Clause 7).

Practical applications

• Integration of shared micro mobility fleets (e‑scooters, e‑bikes) with urban mobility apps and transit networks.
• Pre‑trip planning: vehicle availability, charging/parking info, reservations and route planning tied to charging stations.
• En‑route services: navigation updates, traffic and incident warnings, dynamic parking/return guidance.
• Post‑trip operations: payment reconciliation, return confirmation, diagnostic and usage reporting.
• Enabling micro mobility inclusion in multimodal trip planners, parcel delivery routing and mobility‑as‑a‑service (MaaS) platforms.

Who should use this standard

• ITS architects and system integrators designing nomadic device platforms and micro mobility backends.
• Micro mobility OEMs and fleet operators implementing vehicle ↔ cloud interfaces.
• App developers, cloud service providers and mobility service providers (MMSP).
• City transport planners and toll/parking authorities aiming to integrate micro mobility into broader ITS ecosystems.
