1 Scope
This document specifies:
-
— the interfaces between electronic fee collection (EFC) back-office systems for vehicle-related
transport services, e.g. road user charging, parking and access control;
-
— an exchange of information between the back-office system of the two roles of service
provision and toll charging, e.g.:
-
— charging-related data (toll declarations, billing details, payment claims, payment
announcements),
-
— administrative data (trust objects, EFC context data, etc.), and
-
— confirmation data;
-
— transfer mechanisms and supporting functions;
-
— information objects, data syntax and semantics.
This document is applicable for any vehicle-related toll service and any technology
used for charging.
The data types and associated coding related to the data elements described in Clause 6 are specified in Annex A, using the abstract syntax notation one (ASN.1) according to ISO/IEC 8824‑1.
This document specifies basic protocol mechanisms over which implementations can specify
and perform complex transfers (transactions).
This document does not specify, amongst others:
-
— any communication between TC or TSP with any other involved party;
-
— any communication between elements of the TC and the TSP that is not part of the back-office
communication;
-
— interfaces for EFC systems for public transport;
-
— any complex transfers (transactions), i.e. sequences of inter-related ADUs that can
possibly involve several APDU exchanges;
-
— processes regarding payments and exchanges of fiscal, commercial or legal accounting
documents;
-
— definitions of service communication channels, protocols and service primitives to
transfer the APDU.
