scope:

This Technical Specification provides a common framework for defining probe data reporting management (PDRM) messages to facilitate the specification and design of probe vehicle systems and gives concrete definitions of PDRM messages.

This Technical Specification specifies

a) reference architecture for probe vehicle systems and probe data which incorporates PDRM based on the reference architecture for ISO 22837, and

b) basic data framework for PDRM instructions, which defines specifically

1) necessary conditions for PDRM instructions, and

2) notations of these instructions (in XML).

This Technical Specification also provides the rules for using PDRM instructions.

Different types of PDRM messages are also identified and defined, such as

a) PDRM messages consisting of individual instructions which define reporting aspects or requirements for probe vehicle systems,

b) start/stop all probe data reporting,

c) start/stop probe data reporting of specific probe data elements, and

d) generic scheme for conveying criteria for reporting specific probe data elements.

PDRM instructions may be structured in terms of a time period in which they are valid (duration), geographic region, and roadway heading to which the instruction applies.
