Electronic fee collection - Information exchange between service provision and toll charging
ISO 12855:2011 specifiesthe interfaces between electronic fee collection (EFC) systems for vehicle related transport services, e.g. road user charging, parking and access control; it does not cover interfaces for EFC systems for public transport; an EFC system can include any EFC system, e.g. also systems automatically reading licence plate numbers of vehicles passing a toll point;an exchange of information between the central equipment of the two roles of service provision and toll charging, e.g.charging related data (toll declarations, billing details),administrative data, andconfirmation data;transfer mechanisms and supporting functions;information objects, data syntax and semantics;examples of data interchanges.ISO 12855:2011 supports any toll service and any technology used for charging.It is defined as a toolbox standard of transactions and messages which can be used for the assigned purpose. The detailed definitions of mandatory and optional elements in a real implementation are defined elsewhere. It does not define all communication sequences, communication stacks and timings.
ISO 12855:2011 specifies
- the interfaces between electronic fee collection (EFC) systems for vehicle related transport services, e.g. road user charging, parking and access control; it does not cover interfaces for EFC systems for public transport; an EFC system can include any EFC system, e.g. also systems automatically reading licence plate numbers of vehicles passing a toll point;
- an exchange of information between the central equipment of the two roles of service provision and toll charging, e.g.
- charging related data (toll declarations, billing details),
- administrative data, and
- confirmation data;
- transfer mechanisms and supporting functions;
- information objects, data syntax and semantics;
- examples of data interchanges.
ISO 12855:2011 supports any toll service and any technology used for charging.
It is defined as a toolbox standard of transactions and messages which can be used for the assigned purpose. The detailed definitions of mandatory and optional elements in a real implementation are defined elsewhere. It does not define all communication sequences, communication stacks and timings.
ISO 12855:2015 specifies - the interfaces between electronic fee collection (EFC) systems for vehicle related transport services, e.g. road user charging, parking and access control; it does not cover interfaces for EFC systems for public transport; an EFC system can include any EFC system, e.g. including systems that automatically read licence plate numbers of vehicles passing a toll point, - an exchange of information between the central equipment of the two roles of service provision and toll charging, e.g. - charging related data (toll declarations, billing details), - administrative data, and - confirmation data, - transfer mechanisms and supporting functions, - information objects, data syntax and semantics, - examples of data interchanges (see Annex C and Annex D), and - an example on how to use this International Standard for the European Electronic Tolling Service (EETS) (see Annex F). ISO 12855:2015 is applicable for any toll service and any technology used for charging. It is defined as a toolbox standard of transactions and Application Protocol Data Units (APDUs), which can be used for the assigned purpose. The detailed definitions of mandatory and optional elements in a real implementation are defined elsewhere. It does not define all communication sequences, communication stacks and timings. The scope of ISO 12855:2015 is illustrated in Figure 2. The data types and associated coding related to the data elements described in Clause 6 are defined in Annex A, using the abstract syntax notation one (ASN.1) according to ISO/IEC 8824‑1.
The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!

- With a single click, add a new language, the Requirements or Redline+ service and add one or more additional users.
- Whether you are in the process of acquiring a standard or it is already available in your personal space, the UPSELL service is available at every stage to help you understand it and implement it within your organization.
