Scope

This Technical Specification describes the conceptual and logical architecture for automatic vehicle and Equipment identification (AVI/AEI) and supporting services in an intermodal/multimodal environment. This Technical Specification presents a high level view of AEI intermodal and multimodal system Architecture. The Technical Specification describes the key sub systems, their associated interfaces and interactions and how they fit into System wide functions such as Management, Security and Information Flow. The Architecture is product independent, e.g. individual modules within sub systems e.g. the data tag module within the data capture sub system will be described in terms of system parameters not in terms of a defined or named product specification. The Technical Specification identifies the context of intermodal/multimodal AEI within the overall AVI/AEI context and key external inter-dependencies and interfaces to the intermodal/multimodal Sector IT infrastructure. These include interfaces to the external and internal users of the Intermodal/multimodal System services and their associated IT systems, interfaces to Intermodal/multimodal management systems, existing Intermodal/multimodal networks and System Operations, and specifically interfaces to item identification and the domain of ISO/IEC SC 31, item logistics Standards. As an architecture it is designed to be complementary and interlocking to that domain. NOTE lin addition to the work of this Technical Specification, the reader should be aware that there are a number of ongoing architecture and terminology activities in a number of organizations such as the UNCEFACT and ISO/TC 154 that relate to the movement of intermodal/multimodal goods. In respect of the architecture concepts described in this Technical Specification it is important that there be ongoing collaboration between the ITS community and such bodies such that semantic interoperability and syntactic coherence may be attained at information exchanges intermodally. This Technical Specification relates to AVI/AEI units, but not to smaller containers and items being transported. Whilst the architecture described within this Technical Specification shows the inter-relationship to the item identification domain (see Annex A), for smaller items (pallet loads, trays, parcels etc.), Standardization will be undertaken by ISO/IEC JTC 1 SC31. Supporting Standards developed by ISO/TC 204 will be limited to vehicle, trailer and AVI/AEI unit identification, whereas ISO/SC 31 Standards will work from units of pallet (and equivalent) size down to item level. This Technical Specification is intended to be complementary and consistent with the work of ISO/TC 104 (ISO Containers). This Specification extends the conceptual and communication AVI architecture determined in EN ISO 14814 and is neither frequency nor air interface protocol specific. It provides maximum interoperability, has a high population capability, and provides the possibility of upwards migration to more capable systems. This Technical Specification does not include the air interface nor any implementation aspect, solely the reference architectures. Subsequent Standards shall define data structures for general AVI/AEI and for specific sectors of application. NOTE This Technical Specification presents a number of views to describe the intermodal/multimodal environment. Other organizations, such as UN/CEFACT, and other ITS Standards, may use views that are based on different methodologies.
