1 Scope
This Technical Specification defines the data transfer models between roadside equipment (RSE) and integrated circuit card (ICC), and the interface descriptions between RSE
and on-board equipment (OBE) for on-board account using ICC. It also provides examples of interface definitions
and transactions deployed in several countries.
This Technical Specification covers:
-
— data transfer models between RSE and ICC which correspond to the categorized operational requirements, and the data transfer mechanism for each model;
-
— interface definition between RSE and OBE based on each data transfer model;
-
— interface definition for each model comprises
-
— functional configuration,
-
— RSE command definitions for ICC access, and
-
— data format and data element definitions of RSE commands;
-
— a transaction example for each model in Annex B.
Figure 3 shows the configuration of on-board account and the scope of this Technical Specification.
The descriptions in this Technical Specification focus on the interface between RSE
and OBU to access ICC.
Figure 4 shows the layer structure of RSE, OBU, and ICC where the mid-layer of application
interfaces are denoted as the practical scope of this Technical Specification.
NOTE The existing standards for physical and other protocol layers both between RSE and OBE, and between OBE and ICC, are outside the scope of this Technical Specification. For example, DSRC related items (L-1, L-2, and L-7) and ICC related items (ICC commands, data definition, etc.) are outside the scope of this Technical Specification.
There are two types of virtual bridges contained in an OBU. The first type is Bridge-1
on which an RSE command sent from RSE is decomposed and ICC access command contained
in application protocol data unit (APDU) part of RSE command is transferred to ICC
I/F to access ICC. The second type is Bridge-2 on which an RSE command sent from RSU
is transformed to ICC access command and transferred to ICC I/F to access ICC.
Bridge-1 corresponds to the transparent type and the buffering type defined in this
Technical Specification, whereas Bridge-2 corresponds to the cashing type.
