TC204 Foundational Standards

The following standards effectively establish the foundation upon which most other TC204 standards are (or should be) built. It is highly recommended that all practitioners (and standards authors) obtain a copy of the following standards: 1. βœ… Architectural Framework standards on this page 2. βœ… Other foundational standards on this page relating to your specific area of interest

Each section below also contains links (to other pages) for standards more specifically focussed on your respective area of interest. Alternately you may prefer to browse directly in your domain of interest.

We have also identified a number of sites that offer packages of standards from ISO and other SDO's for purchase.

You may also find it helpful to refer to our table of common terms and acronyms.

βœ… 1. Architectural Framework

The following standards effectively establish the foundation upon which most other TC204 standards are (or should be) built. It is highly recommended that all practitioners (and standards authors) obtain a copy of these standards as a minimum, in addition to: * βœ… Other foundational standards on this page relating to your specific area of interest

βœ… 2. Integrated Transport Information, Management and Control

The following standards effectively establish the foundation for Integrated Transport Information, Management and Control (commonly referred to as C-ITS Stations and Modules). It is highly recommended that all practitioners (and standards authors) obtain a copy of these standards as a minimum, in addition to: 1. other foundational standards on this page relating to their specific area of interest, and 2. other standards on other pages via links as identified in the respective sections below.
