This document specifies:

— the interfaces between electronic fee collection (EFC) back-office systems for vehicle-related transport services, e.g. road user charging, parking and access control;

— an exchange of information between the back end system of the two roles of service provision and toll charging, e.g.:

— charging-related data (toll declarations, billing details),

— administrative data, and

— confirmation data;

— transfer mechanisms and supporting functions;

— information objects, data syntax and semantics.

The data types and associated coding related to the data elements described in Clause 6 are defined in Annex A, using the abstract syntax notation one (ASN.1) according to ISO/IEC 8824 1.

This document specifies basic protocol mechanisms over which implementations can specify and perform complex transfers (transactions).

This document does not specify, amongst others:

— any communication between toll charger (TC) or toll service provider (TSP) with any other involved party;

— any communication between elements of the TC and the TSP that is not part of the
