Full title and description

St ISO TS 15143-3-2020 — Earth-moving machinery and mobile road construction machinery — Worksite data exchange — Part 3: Telematics data. A technical specification that defines a web-based communication schema for exchanging telematics (machine status and fleet) data from telematics provider servers to customer and third‑party applications.

Abstract

This Technical Specification specifies the communication schema and data elements used to provide mobile machinery status data (collected by a machine's telematics/data‑logging equipment and stored on a telematics provider’s server) to client applications via the Internet. It defines request and response records, common data fields (machine header, last known location, operating hours, fuel data, identifiers, timestamps, etc.), date/time and unit conventions, and response schemas intended for analysis of machine performance, operation and maintenance. The document is applicable to self‑propelled earth‑moving machinery and mobile road construction machinery equipped with location and time instrumentation; it is not a specification of on‑board collection protocols or on‑board bus communications.

Scope

Specifies the Internet-facing data exchange schema and associated data elements for telematics data supplied by telematics providers for self‑propelled earth‑moving machinery (as defined in ISO 6165) and mobile road construction machinery (as defined in ISO 22242). Covers the organization of requests and server responses for machine status and fleet management data (location, hours, fuel, identifiers, timestamps, etc.). Excludes on‑board data acquisition protocols (for example CAN bus), the on‑board-to-server wireless link, and detailed on‑board data‑logger implementation.

Key topics and requirements

• Defined communication schema for server-to-client telematics exchanges (web API-style request/response records and response schemas).
• Common, standardized data fields and a data‑dictionary-style description (machine header, make/model, equipment ID, serial number, OEM PIN/VIN, telematics unit installation date).
• Location and time data definitions (last known location, time series endpoints, latitude/longitude, altitude and units, date/time formats).
• Operational metrics: operating hours, cumulative fuel used (preferred), fuel used in preceding 24 hours (alternative), and other machine status indicators.
• Schema elements for endpoints and responses (e.g., location endpoint, operating hours endpoint, fuel endpoints) and guidance on response structure and field semantics.
• Conventions for units of measure, timestamp formats and hypermedia reference URLs in responses.
• Guidance to support mixed‑fleet, multi‑OEM data consolidation (common field names and semantics to ease aggregation and analysis).
• Notes on optional vs preferred fields and backward compatibility relative to earlier AEMP/AEMP 2.0 conventions.
• Reference implementation practice in the industry: web/REST style APIs, JSON payloads, and common use of modern authorization schemes (implementations often use OAuth 2.0 client credentials for secure access).

Typical use and users

Used by OEM telematics teams, telematics providers, fleet management software vendors, rental companies, contractors and fleet operators to deliver and consume standardized machine status data. Typical users include system integrators, API architects, data analysts, maintenance planners, asset managers and third‑party application developers who need consistent telematics data across mixed fleets for monitoring, reporting, maintenance scheduling and productivity analysis.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO/TS 15143-3:2020 (referred to here as St ISO TS 15143-3-2020) is a Technical Specification that defines a web-based communication schema and data elements for exchanging telematics data from telematics provider servers to customer and third‑party applications for earth‑moving and mobile road construction machinery.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the structure of requests and responses, a standardized set of data fields (machine header, last known location, operating hours, fuel metrics, identifiers, timestamps, units), date/time formats and guidance for server-to-client telematics data exchange over the Internet. It does not specify on‑board collection protocols or the on‑board network (e.g., CAN) or the wireless link from machine to provider server.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: OEM telematics teams, telematics service providers, fleet management and rental companies, software integrators, third‑party application developers, fleet analysts and maintenance planners who need interoperable, standardized telematics data across mixed fleets.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: Edition 2 (ISO/TS 15143-3:2020) is published (January 2020) and was reviewed and confirmed current in 2023. Previous editions (for example 2016) were withdrawn. As with many industry specs, implementations and vendor-specific APIs may evolve; users should check for any later revisions or work items if they require the absolute latest changes.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is Part 3 of the ISO 15143 series (Worksite data exchange). Other parts address architecture and data dictionaries (Part 1, Part 2) and worksite/grade control data (Part 4); additional parts or revisions have been developed or proposed as the series evolves.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Telematics, AEMP 2.0, ISO 15143-3, fleet management, API, machine location, operating hours, fuel consumption, equipment identifier, worksite data exchange.
