Proposal of Developing Standards for Public Transport From ISO/TC204/WG8 Pacific Rim Economies At 29th APEC Transportation Working Group Meeting Taipei, Chinese Taipei 9-13 July 2007
Topics • Background • ISO TC 204 WG 8 Standard Interests • APEC Standard Interests • Differences between APEC and ISO • Proposed Standards Development Role for APEC Intermodal & Intelligent Transport Group
Background • ISO Technical Committee 204 Working Group 8 (ISO TC 204 WG 8) • Initiated in 1999 • Original representatives from Pacific Rim economies: Australia, Canada, Japan, Korea, and the US
ISO TC 204 WG 8 Standard Interests • Accomplishments since 1999 • Integrated Fare Management System Architecture (Part 1) • Pre-emption and Prioritization Signal Systems for Emergency and Public Transport Vehicles (PRESTO) • Current Standard Working Items • IFMS, part 2 on Defining a Set of Rules
ISO Proposed Technical Reports (for Fall 2007-Spring 2008) • Multi-application public transport payment methods opportunities • Potential international standards to help the international traveler • International standards needed to manage public transport aspects of man-made and natural disasters • Catalog of Information / Interface Standards used throughout the world
APEC and Pacific Rim Economy Standard Interests (2004) • Reference Model Architecture • Integrated service domains • Numbering System for Public Transport • Transit Communications Interface Profiles (TCIP) • Passenger information and spatial referencing • PRESTO • Transit Signal Priority • Emergency Preemption
APEC and Pacific Rim Economy Standard Interests (2004) cont. • Interoperable fare media (proximity cards, financial elements) • Talking Signs • BRT Best Practices • Collision Avoidance • Public Transport Vehicle Area Network • Medium and Long Range communications (CALM)
Resolution to Restrict Scope of Development Efforts “WG8 agreed that different levels of standardization are required. On the ISO level general requirements, principles and guidance should be described in ISO standardization documents (standard, technical specification and technical report). Italics not in original
Resolution to Restrict Scope of Development Efforts • “…Technical and specification-based detail standard should be defined not in the international level but in a greater regional or national level, provided that all the commercial matters are agreed among stakeholders in the area.” Italics not in original
WG 8 and APEC Priority Differences • APEC economies focus on implementation / interoperable standards • ISO focus on general requirements, principles, guidance • WG 8 suggests that implementation standards are the domain of “regional” organizations • APEC is the Pacific Rim economic regional organization
APEC as a Standard Development “organization” • Standard development meets APEC mission • “contribute to and facilitate implementation of an efficient, integrated intermodal transportation system” • Standards enable implementation of integrated systems
Models for APEC • Models of commercial organizations developing standards & specifications through “user groups” • Open Geospatial Consoritum (OGC) • Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS) • International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) • American Public Transportation Association (APTA) • Working with SAE, IEEE
Proposal for APEC • “We recommend the initiation of standard development activities related to public transport as part of the APEC ITS Transportation Committee.” • ISO delegations from Canada, Japan, Korea, US
