scope:

This International Standard defines a generic AVI/AEI System specification for nominal AVI/AEI to provide an
enabling International Standard, which, whilst allowing the system specifier to determine the performance
levels and operating conditions, provides a framework for nominal interoperability.
Within the road context of the Transport and Traffic Telematics Sector, AVI and AEI systems have the specific
objective of achieving a unique or unambiguous positive identification of a vehicle or item of equipment, and to
make that identification automatically.
Whilst AVI may also be seen as an essential component of some applications, the particular needs of such
systems are outside the scope of this International Standard. As far as is possible, care is still taken to provide
a useful tool for such applications.
This International Standard only refers to AVI/AEI in the road environment. Multimodal and intermodal
exchanges of AVI/AEI are outside the scope of this International Standard.
Where AVI/AEI applications are part of a larger system, and where no standardized application-specific test
requirements exist, these test requirements apply.
Anonymity and privacy issues are discussed in ISO 14816, and are not handled in this International Standard.
This International Standard is designed for system specification that will enable a nominal interoperability
based on a DSRC link. AVI/AEI systems that are relying on other link types are outside the scope of this
International Standard for those parameters where the link type influences parameters.
