Overview
ISO 14296:2016 - Intelligent transport systems - Extension of map database specifications for applications of cooperative ITS - defines the map-related functional requirements, a logical data model, and the required data elements for Cooperative ITS applications that rely on map databases. It extends existing map database specifications to support Local Dynamic Map (LDM) use cases and multi‑modal navigation needs, helping achieve interoperability between vehicles, infrastructure and service providers.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Map-related functional requirements for Cooperative ITS application categories:
- Map Display, Positioning, Route Planning, Route Guidance, Services & POI Information Access, Address Location, Cooperative ITS (including driving support), Multi-Modal Travel.
- Logical data model (UML-based) organized into packages, including:
- Transportation package (road network, transfer zones, public transport, pedestrian and bicycle networks),
- Cartographic package (background, graphic text),
- Service & POI package, Address Location package, Dynamic information package.
- Data organization concepts: levels (map detail/scale) and layers (content-based subsets).
- Use of UML (per ISO/IEC 19501) for model expression and constraints.
- Conformance requirements: data structures as specified in Clause 7 and passing the abstract test suite (Annex A).
- Normative dependencies and compatibility with GDF concepts and prior ITS map specifications.
Practical applications and users
ISO 14296:2016 is targeted at organizations building interoperable map and location services for Cooperative ITS:
- Automotive OEMs and Tier‑1 suppliers implementing connected vehicle features and driving support.
- Map database providers and GIS vendors extending datasets for LDM and cooperative services.
- Navigation and telematics developers implementing route planning, guidance and positioning that integrate with roadside or cloud‑based ITS systems.
- ITS infrastructure operators, smart city planners and public transport agencies seeking standard data exchange for multi‑modal travel support.
Practical benefits include standardized data elements that reduce development cost and time‑to‑market, and improved interoperability for vehicle-to-infrastructure and vehicle-to-vehicle services.
