CEN ISO/TS 18234-7:2013

This specification describes the Binary encoding methodology for the Parking Information message application of the TPEG “Toolkit”.
Traffic congestion has become a serious problem in urban areas. Some traffic congestion is considered to be caused by drivers, searching for parking spaces. Therefore, timely provision of parking information to these drivers could decrease traffic congestion. Furthermore, this type of parking information would be valuable for the visitor where a temporary parking facility is established for a special occasion. ATPEG Parking Information message is designed to provide a comprehensive and dynamic data set about parking facilities to various client types using digital broadcasting and internet technologies. A CTT information message may be presented to the end-user in many different ways including, by text, by audio, or graphically using standard formats.
As with all TPEG applications, whilst the message content has to be sourced from road operators this application is end-user focussed and thus is not designed or able to be exactly compatible with standards used in the Content Segment (e.g. DATEX 2). It is designed specifically to satisfy the Delivery Segment requirement which is particularly designed for both human comprehension and automatic clients.
