This document specifies the basic structure of the message elements, or items of information, that are put
together to form the common message sets used in exchanging information in an After Theft System for
Vehicle Recovery.
Parts 3, 4 and 5 of CEN/TS 15213 will define the content of these messages. The design is such that all
currently identified information can be included in an unambiguous format, while allowing for additional items
to be included should they either be required in the future or become available in the future.
These message elements can also be referenced in a unique manner and described in plain language for
transmission by voice, fax or e-mail. Similarly the data can be encoded in XML language for electronic
transmission.
Standards for Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) and Automatic Equipment Identification (AEI) are being
developed by CEN/TC 278 WG 12 in parallel with EN ISO 14814. This ATSVR standard does not prejudice
that work and does not seek to establish parameters for future AVI/AEI standards. DSRC and AVI standards
are seen as the basic technology blocks for types of short-range ATSVR systems.
This part of CEN/TS 15213 aims to identify the main elements and illustrate the data concepts and way
forward.
