SAE J2353_199910

This SAE Recommended Practice provides a set of core data elements needed by information service providers for Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS). The data dictionary herein provides the foundation for ATIS message sets for all stages of travel (pre-trip and en route), all types of travelers (drivers, passengers), all categories of information, and all platforms for delivery of information (in-vehicle, portable devices, kiosks, etc.). The elements of this document are the basis for the SAE ATIS Message Set Standard J2354 and are entered into the SAE Data Registry for ITS wide coordination. This document is a compendium of the “data elements” which are used as buidling blocks to construct the composite messages used by the SAE in its ITS message set standards, most notably SAE J2354 (however, these elements are intended for reuse in other standards as well.) The contents of the document reflect a technical specification of the individual elements expressed in a standardized way and include such things as the valid value rules and units which the data element themselves represent. While this document is available as a printed version, it is expecteed that at a future date updated revisions of the contents will be available electronically to assist implementors in actual use.
