What is ISO 14907-1 - Electronic fee collection about?
ISO 14907-1 specifies the test procedures of electronic fee collection (EFC) roadside equipment(RSE) and on-board equipment (OBE) with regard to the conformance to standards and requirements for type approval and acceptance testing which is within the realm of EFC application specifically.
ISO 14907-1 is restricted to systems operating within the radio emission, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) regulations, traffic, and other regulations of the countries in which they are operated.
ISO 14907-1 identifies a set of suitable parameters and provides test procedures to enable the proof of a complete EFC system, as well as components of an EFC system, e.g., OBE, related to the defined requirements of an application. The defined parameter and tests are assigned to the following groups of parameters:
- Functionality
- Quality
- Referenced pre-tests
ISO 14907-1 describes procedures, methods and tools, and a test plan which shows the relation between all tests and the sequence of these tests.
ISO 14907-1 lists all tests that are required to measure the performance of EFC equipment.
ISO 14907-1 describes which EFC equipment is covered by the test procedures the values of the parameters to be tested are not included. It also describes how the tests are to be performed and which tools and prerequisites are necessary before this series of tests can be undertaken.
ISO 14907-1 defines only the tests and test procedures, not the benchmark figures that these are to be measured against. The test procedures defined in this document can be used as input, e.g., by scheme owners, for prototype testing, type approvals, tests of installations, and periodic inspections.
Related to a conceptual model of an EFC system, ISO 14907-1 relates only to the equipment of the user and the service provider.
ISO 14907-1 relates solely to OBE and RSE and the DSRC interface between OBE and RSE including its functions to perform the fee collection.
Who is ISO 14907-1 - Electronic fee collection for?
ISO 14907-1 on electronic fee collection is useful for:
- Toll booths
- Paid parking zones
- Restaurants and malls
- Electronic fee collection (EFC) device manufacturer
Why should you use ISO 14907-1 - Electronic fee collection?
For an electronic fee collection (EFC) system, approvals and tests are required to determine whether the system (or individual components of the system) conforms to standards and application requirements and to enable parameters such as quality, availability, and maintainability to be measured.
ISO 14907-1 provides a toolbox of tests and procedures for the assessment and proof of such EFC systems that they are suitable for specified EFC applications under specific operational conditions. This enables the manufacturers to make high-quality systems.
ISO 14907-1 defines only the test and test procedures, not the benchmark figures that these are to be measured against. Benchmark figures which the systems or components under test can be compared with and validated against might form the subject of a future part of this series of standards.
It is furthermore limited to automated (electronic) payment using a standardized dedicated short-range communication (DSRC).
ISO 14907-1 enables group of operators to determine common specific performance levels and operating conditions and to enable regional variation where appropriate. It provides operating and environmental parameters (or classes of operating and environmental parameters) within which such systems shall successfully function without impairing interoperability to ensure that the person who specified the system can state their requirements clearly to implementation designers and integrators and to enable the measurement of the performance of such systems.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS EN ISO 14907-1:2020 supersedes PD CEN ISO/TS 14907-1:2015. BS EN ISO 14907-1:2020 includes some technical changes with respect to PD CEN ISO/TS 14907-1:2015. These include:
