PD CEN/TR 17297-1:2019

What is PD CEN/TR 17297-1 - Urban ITS Location Referencing about?  

PD CEN/TR 17297-1 summarizes the background and the existence of the multitude of location referencing systems used by urban administrations backed up by a database of occurrences of location referencing schema for intelligent transport systems (ITS). 

PD CEN/TR 17297-1 creates a specification that will detail a toolkit for building translators and concentrators between the profiles of location referencing systems used within an urban authority. 

PD CEN/TR 17297-1 specifies: 

• Concise tutorial on location referencing methods 
• Applicable location referencing specifications, standards and directives 
• An introduction into challenges given by a multiplicity of different location referencing systems 

Who is PD CEN/TR 17297-1 - Urban ITS Location Referencing for? 

PD CEN/TR 17297-1  on urban ITS Location Referencing Harmonisation is useful for: 

• IT firms / software engineers involved in ITS 
• Those who need to combine data which uses different location referencing methods due to their different applications, modes or vendors 
• Organizations dealing with location referencing 
• Transport authorities 
• Transport operators 

Why should you use PD CEN/TR 17297-1 - Urban ITS Location Referencing?  

Most of us are familiar with relating real-world locations to one form of model or another, such as a map. This is the essence of location referencing relating an AI-world position or object to a modelled representation of the world.  Thus, the way in which we organize data related to travel is done by creating models of the real-world models that support efficient processes, queries and retrieval. 

PD CEN/TR 17297-1 provides you with applicable location referencing specifications, standards and directives, a concise guide to location referencing methodologies, based on a survey of location referencing methodologies applicable to European transport authorities and operators. 

The challenge of PD CEN/TR 17297-1 is to address the need to provide means of improving the integration and translation between different relevant forms of location reference through the provision of guidance and in some cases technical solutions.
