Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards, but in exceptional circumstances, a
technical committee may propose the publication of a Technical Report of one of the following types:
 type 1, when the required support cannot be obtained for the publication of an International Standard, despite
repeated efforts;
 type 2, when the subject is still under technical development or where for any other reason there is the future
but not immediate possibility of an agreement on an International Standard;
 type 3, when a technical committee has collected data of a different kind from that which is normally published
as an International Standard ("state of the art", for example).
Technical Reports of types 1 and 2 are subject to review within three years of publication, to decide whether they
can be transformed into International Standards. Technical Reports of type 3 do not necessarily have to be
reviewed until the data they provide are considered to be no longer valid or useful.
ISO/TR 14813-1, which is a Technical Report of type 2, was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 204,
Transport information and control systems.
It is expected that there may well be more than one single TICS Architecture approach to be considered and
documented and that existing architecture approaches will have previously-produced documentation developed
according to disparate standards and conventions.
It is also implicit in the work to be undertaken by WG 1, that working group members will require a clear, well-structured
understanding of the work of the following participant groups:
o Other TC 204 Working Groups
o CEN TC 278 Working Groups
o Japanese initiatives
o European RTTT programs
o US ITS program
o Australian initiatives
o Canadian Initiatives
Full documentation of all possible architectural approaches is obviously not feasible given the high level of resources
required to carry this out. Indeed full documentation and description of all possible approaches is undesirable as an
item for Standardization.
A defined and consistent approach is however required to facilitate the specification of architecture requirements to
enable a clear view to be developed and presented of the work of each participant group.

By combining the work of major contributions such as the European Functions and sub Functions and the US ITS list of
user services, the WG has used the basic hypothesis that it is possible to define a set of fundamental services which
can be used in a variety of combinations and configurations, to provide an outline description of the different TICS
Architecture approaches. It is assumed that the scope of the TICS sector will always have a definable boundary (which
will change over time).
ISO/TR 14813 consists of the following parts, under the general title
Transport information and control
systems — Reference model architecture(s) for the TICS sector:
 Part 1: TICS fundamental services
 Part 2: Core reference model
 Part 3: Example elaboration
 Part 4: Reference model tutorial
 Part 5: Requirements for architecture description in TICS standards
 Part 6: Data presentation in ASN.1
 Part 7: TICS data profiles

Introduction
In order to develop a cohesive Reference Architecture, and in order to establish the relationship and interdependencies
of the various Transport Information and Control Systems (TICS) services, it is beneficial to firstly determine the
underlying fundamental services. The purpose of this part of ISO/TR 14813 is to identify the fundamental services
within the current perception of the TICS sector. In response to requests this part of ISO/TR 14813 also categorises
these TICS Fundamental Services into logical groups.
TICS Fundamental Services will also provide a common descriptive basis for comparing existing Japanese,
European and North American taxonomies, or classification systems. For example, it should be possible to map the
ATT Functions and Sub functions described by ERTICO CORD in "Recommended Definitions of ATT Subfunctions,
Functions and Areas" (Deliverable D003 - part 6 Version 1) to the US User Services by relating both to the TICS
fundamental services.
These described services are given the general appellation “TICS Fundamental Services”.

Transport information and control systems — Reference model
architecture(s) for the TICS sector —
Part 1:
TICS fundamental services
1 Scope
This part of ISO/TR 14813 provides definitions of the fundamental informational products or services or applications
areas provided to a TICS user. These are described as “TICS Fundamental Services”. This part of ISO/TR 14813
identifies 32 TICS fundamental services. If further fundamental services are subsequently identified as the sector
develops, it is the intention that this part of ISO/TR 14813 shall be revised to include them.
This part of ISO/TR 14813 is applicable to the Working Groups of ISO/TC 204 and other TCs who are developing
standards for the TICS sector and associated sectors whose boundaries cross into the TICS sector (such as urban
light railways, intermodal freight and fleet. This part of ISO/TR 14813 is designed to provide information and
explanation to those developing TICS Standards and to those developing specifications, implementations and
deployments for Transport Information and Control Systems.
This part of ISO/TR 14813 is in itself, by its nature, advisory and informative. It is designed to assist the integration
of services into a cohesive Reference Architecture, assist interoperability and common data definition.
2 Definitions
For the purposes of this part of ISO/TR 14813, the following terms and definitions apply.
2.1
TICS fundamental service
an informational product or service or application area provided to a TICS user
2.2
TICS user
one who directly receives and can act on TICS data or control products
2.3
External TICS user
one who receives a TICS fundamental service through interaction with the TICS system by way of a TICS External
Interface
NOTE The external interfaces and the external users define the boundary of the TICS sector. These users of the
fundamental services may be human or systems. They may simultaneously use the services of non-TICS systems.
2.4
Internal TICS user
one who receives a TICS fundamental service through interaction with the TICS system by way of an Internal-
Internal Interface

4 General Requirements
4.1 TICS Services
ISO/TC 204/WG 1 defines TICS fundamental services as follows:
"TICS fundamental services are informational products or services or applications areas provided to a TICS user".
If all the TICS Fundamental Services are specified, then a user viewpoint of the sector will be established, independent
of internal sector functionality or technology.
By way of further elaboration, A TICS Fundamental Service is a separable application that is perceived by a TICS user
as unique from other fundamental services.
A TICS Fundamental Service is not a technology or an internal functionality of a TICS system.
4.1.1 Characteristics of TICS Services
There are several characteristics of TICS Fundamental Services. They are:
a) A TICS fundamental service may be composed of subservices,
b) The name of a TICS fundamental service should reflect the application area supported,
c) A TICS fundamental service should be logically consistent and of manageable size,
d) If two TICS fundamental services are always provided together they should be combined into a single
fundamental service.
Once the significant architecture approaches have been represented in this manner, it should be possible to define
comparable end user views of each architecture approach.
4.2 TICS Users
ISO/TC 204/WG 1 defines a TICS user as follows:
"one who directly receives and can act on TICS data or control products."
There are two types of TICS Users:
External TICS Users: these are external users of TICS fundamental services who interact with the TICS system
through TICS external interfaces. These are the external users of the TICS sector. The external interfaces and external
users define the boundary of the TICS sector. These users of the fundamental services may be human or systems.
They may simultaneously use the services of non-TICS systems.
: these are internal users of the TICS system. They interact with the system through TICS Internal-
Internal TICS Users
Internal Interfaces. They may be human, or TICS modules.
