2.SCOPE
The scope of this Appendix is to specify how agents of the competent control authorities use a specified 5.8 GHz DSRC wireless communication to remotely obtain data (the Data) from a targeted vehicle that identifies that the targeted vehicle is in potential violation of Regulation (EU) No 165/2014 and should be targeted for consideration to be stopped for further investigation.
Regulation (EU) No 165/2014 requires that the Data collected shall be limited to data or pertaining to data that identifies a potential infringement, as defined in Article 9 of Regulation (EU) No 165/2014.
In this scenario, the time available for communication is limited, because the Communication is targeted and of a short- range design. Further, the same communication means for remote tachograph monitoring (RTM) may also be used by the competent control authorities for other applications (such as the maximal weights and dimensions for heavy goods vehicles defined in Directive 2015/719/EU) and such operations may be separate or sequential at the discretion of the competent control authorities.
This Appendix specifies:
The communications equipment, procedures and protocols to be used for the Communication
The Standards and Regulations to which the radio equipment shall comply
The presentation of the Data to the Communication equipment
The enquiry and download procedures and sequence of operations
The Data to be transferred
Potential interpretation of the Data transferred across the Communication
The provisions for security data relating to the Communication
The availability of the Data to the competent control authorities
How the Remote early detection communication reader can request different freight and fleet data concepts
For clarification, this Appendix does not specify:
the collection of the Data operation and management within the VU (which shall be a function of product design unless specified elsewhere within Regulation (EU) No 165/2014)
the form of presentation of collected data to the agent of the competent control authorities, nor the criteria which shall be used by the competent control authorities to decide which vehicles to stop (which shall be a function of product design unless specified elsewhere within Regulation (EU) No 165/2014 or a policy decision of the competent control authorities). For clarification: the Communication only makes the Data available to the competent control authorities in order that they may make informed decisions
Data security provisions (such as encryption) concerning the content of the Data (which shall be specified within Appendix 11 Common Security Mechanisms).
detail of any data concepts other than RTM which may be obtained using the same architecture and equipment
detail of the behaviour and management between VU's and the DSRC-VU, nor the behaviour within the DSRC-VU (other than to provide the Data when so requested by an REDCR).
