scope:

This document specifies the application layer, the payload of messages, and parameter groups for equipment other than braking and running gear, to ensure the interchange of digital information between road vehicles with a maximum authorized total mass greater than 3 500 kg and their towed vehicles, including communication between towed vehicles. The edition of this document has been extended to support the parameters and message sets for object detection (OD). The installation of the object detection (OD) device compliant to this document in the towed vehicle is identified by a dedicated message. Additionally, some lighting parameters and messages are specified. The conformance and interoperability test plans are not part of this document.
