BS ISO 17572-4:2020

What is ISO 17572-4 about?  

ISO 17572-4 describes and lists the characteristics of the Precise Relative Location Referencing Method (PRLRM) which describes precise relative locations in the context of geographic databases and is used to locate transport-related objects in an encoder system as well as in the decoder side. 

ISO 17572-4 specifies PRLRM, comprising: 

• Conceptual data model for Location Referencing Methods  
• Specification of location referencing for precise relative information 
• Use cases for Precise Relative Location References  
• Use cases for elements of Precise Relative Location References  
• Implementation of Precise Relative Location References  

Who is ISO 17572-4 for? 

ISO 17572-4 on Location referencing for geographic databases is useful for: 

• Traffic authorities 
• Transportation authorities  
• Railways  
• Shipping companies 
• Logistic management    

Why should you use ISO 17572-4?  

ISO 17572-4 defines methods that enable exchange location information of the object to be referenced in the lane or the lane junction.  

The methods to be defined in ISO 17572-4 are being adopted for precise relative location references which allow for location referencing. 

ISO 17572-4 describes use cases for precise relative location references and use cases for elements of precise relative location references.
