ISO/TR 10992:2011 PDF

Overview

ISO/TR 10992:2011 - "Intelligent transport systems - Use of nomadic and portable devices to support ITS service and multimedia provision in vehicles" - is an informative Technical Report that describes how nomadic and portable devices (e.g., smartphones, PDAs, music players, mobile broadband equipment and short-range links such as Bluetooth) can be introduced into vehicles to support ITS services and in‑vehicle multimedia. The report covers connectivity options, vehicle interface concepts, service use cases (passenger information, automotive information, driver advisory/warning, entertainment), and the standardization needs to integrate nomadic devices with vehicle communication networks and ITS infrastructures.

Key topics and requirements

• Nomadic device scope and terminology: Defines nomadic devices (ND), stations (STA) and related abbreviated terms used across ITS work.
• Communication media: Reviews suitable media for nomadic/mobile connectivity including cellular (2G/3G/4G), Wi‑Fi/WLAN, WiMAX, mobile multimedia broadcasting (T‑DMB, DVB‑H, S‑DMB), DSRC and short‑range links (Bluetooth, ZigBee).
• Vehicular network interfaces: Addresses integration points to in‑vehicle networks and gateways (e.g., V‑ITS‑SG - vehicle ITS station gateway) and references vehicle bus/diagnostic concepts (CAN, MOST, MVCI, ODX).
• Architectural integration: Describes how nomadic links can be supported within the CALM framework and WAVE/IEEE 802.11p environments for vehicular communications.
• Standardization objectives: Identifies the need to (a) select appropriate nomadic media for ITS services, (b) map existing international standards that apply, (c) define additional protocol/service requirements, and (d) specify special requirements where nomadic device provision differs from in‑built communications.
• Safety and controlled access: Emphasizes controlled, manufacturer‑mediated access to vehicle data and services via gateway protocols and ensuring safe use of introduced devices for ITS functionalities.

Applications and users

ISO/TR 10992:2011 is intended for:

• Vehicle OEMs and electronics suppliers designing in‑vehicle gateways and interfaces.
• Telematics, infotainment and HMI developers integrating nomadic devices with vehicle systems.
• ITS service providers and back‑office operators delivering passenger information, driver advisory, probe data, and multimedia services.
• Public transport operators deploying passenger information and entertainment services.
• Standards bodies and regulators assessing interoperability and safety implications of nomadic device use in vehicles.

Practical use cases include passenger infotainment, over‑the‑air map and firmware updates, driver warnings via mobile links, and probe data collection routed through nomadic devices.

Related standards

ISO/TR 10992 references and complements numerous standards and efforts, for example:

• ISO 15031, ISO 27145 (WWH‑OBD), ISO 22900‑2 (MVCI), ISO 22901 (ODX), ISO 22902 (AMI‑C), ISO 22837 (probe vehicle systems), ISO 29284, and SAE J2534 / J2735, as well as CALM, DSRC and IEEE 802.11p (WAVE) related work.
