ISO 13141:2015 establishes requirements for short-range communication for the purposes of augmenting the localization in autonomous electronic fee collection (EFC) systems. Localization augmentation serves to inform on-board equipment (OBE) about geographical location and the identification of a charge object. This International Standard specifies the provision of location and heading information and security means to protect from the manipulation of the OBE with false roadside equipment (RSE).

The localization augmentation communication takes place between an OBE in a vehicle and fixed roadside equipment. This International Standard is applicable to OBE in an autonomous mode of operation.

ISO 13141:2015 defines attributes and functions for the purpose of localization augmentation, by making use of the dedicated short-range communications (DSRC) communication services provided by DSRC Layer 7, and makes these LAC attributes and functions available to the LAC applications at the RSE and the OBE. Attributes and functions are defined on the level of Application Data Units (ADUs, see Figure 1).
