Transportation



  • The market of telematics applied to transport information and control systems (TICS) is growing steadily. The progress of satellite navigation systems, digital cartography, and mobile telecommunications may make it possible to optimize the management of taxi or public transport vehicle fleets and smooth over the road traffic with intelligent signals and information transmission to individual navigation systems. According to technical report ISO/TR 14813-6:2002 "Transport information and control systems - Reference model architecture(s) for the TICS sector", "the use of ASN.1 is now widely accepted and adopted by many Technical Committees and Working Groups of ISO and CEN. ISO TC 204 has resolved that ASN.1 shall be the normal syntax notation used in syntax and encoding rule elaboration in Standards in the TICS sector." Protocols of the intelligent transport domain are encoded in PER Unaligned.
  • Here are some transportation standards that use ASN.1:

- ISO/TS 14816:2005:
Road transport and traffic telematics - Automatic vehicle and equipment identification - Numbering and data structure.


- ISO/TS 14904:2002:
Road transport and traffic telematics - Electronic fee collection (EFC) - Interface specification for clearing between operators.


- ISO/TS 17575:2011:
Application Interface Definition for Electronic Fee Collection (EFC) based on Global Navigation Satellite Systems and Cellular Networks (GNSS/CN).

  • Parcel delivery companies use ASN.1 to track their packages.
