Full title and description
Intelligent transport systems (ITS) — Location referencing for geographic databases — Part 3: Dynamic location references (dynamic profile). This part of ISO 17572 specifies the dynamic location referencing method used to describe and encode locations (dynamic profile) for use in geographic databases and ITS message encoders/decoders.
Abstract
The ISO 17572 series defines location referencing methods (LRMs) for locating transport-related phenomena in geographic databases. Part 3 (2015) specifies the dynamic location reference (dynamic profile), including its attributes and encoding rules, logical data modelling, TPEG physical format specification for dynamic location references, coding guidelines and a compressed data format specification. It does not mandate how a Location Referencing System (LRS) must be implemented in software or hardware.
General information
- Status: Published (confirmed at 5‑year review in 2022; remains current).
- Publication date: January 2015 (2015‑01).
- Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
- ICS / categories: 03.220.01; 35.240.60.
- Edition / version: Edition 2 (2015).
- Number of pages: 103 pages (ISO catalogue entry; commercial listings report similar page counts depending on format).
Scope
Specifies the dynamic location referencing method (dynamic profile) for ITS and geographic databases: the mandatory and optional attributes of dynamic location references, encoding rules, logical data model, TPEG physical format for dynamic LRs, coding guidelines and a compressed data format. The document is intended for encoder and decoder use but does not prescribe a specific implementation of an LRS (software, hardware or processes).
Key topics and requirements
- Definition of the dynamic location reference (dynamic profile) and its role within the ISO 17572 series.
- Attributes and rules for encoding dynamic location references.
- Logical data modelling of dynamic LRs for geographic databases.
- TPEG physical format specification for transporting dynamic location references.
- Coding guidelines for creating and interpreting dynamic references.
- Specification of a compressed data format for efficient transmission/storage of dynamic LRs.
- Interoperability guidance for encoder/decoder systems in ITS applications.
Typical use and users
Used by ITS architects and implementers, GIS and map-data vendors, traffic management centres, navigation and telematics developers, data providers who need to encode, transmit or decode precise, variable location information for traffic events, incidents, services and other transport-related phenomena. The standard is intended for both encoder-side systems (creating references) and decoder-side systems (interpreting them).
Related standards
ISO 17572 is a multi-part series: Part 1 covers general requirements and the conceptual model (ISO 17572‑1); Part 2 covers pre‑coded location references (pre‑coded profile) and has later editions (Part 2: 2018 revision). Part 3 (this document) complements those parts by detailing the dynamic profile. Users should consult the other parts of ISO 17572 for end-to-end location referencing rules and any later revisions.

FAQ
Q: What is this standard?
A: ISO 17572‑3:2015 is the part of the ISO 17572 series that defines the dynamic location referencing method (dynamic profile) used within Intelligent Transport Systems to describe and encode variable locations for geographic databases and message exchange.
Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers attributes and encoding rules for dynamic location references, the logical data model, TPEG physical format specification for dynamic LRs, coding guidelines and a compressed data format; it does not specify how an LRS must be implemented in software or hardware.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: ITS system designers, traffic and transport data providers, GIS/map data vendors, navigation and telematics developers, and operators of encoder/decoder systems who need interoperable dynamic location referencing.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: ISO lists ISO 17572‑3:2015 as published (Edition 2, 2015) and notes the publication was last reviewed and confirmed in 2022, so this edition remains current as of the ISO catalogue review. Users should check ISO bulletins for any newer revisions or corrigenda after 2022.
Q: Is it part of a series?
A: Yes — ISO 17572 is a multi‑part series. Part 1 defines general requirements and the conceptual model; Part 2 specifies pre‑coded location references (with a later 2018 edition); Part 3 specifies the dynamic profile (this document). Later editions of the parts (for example ISO 17572‑1:2022 and ISO 17572‑2:2018) should be consulted for the full framework.
Q: What are the key keywords?
A: Location referencing, dynamic location reference, LRM, ITS, TPEG, geographic database, encoding rules, logical data model, compressed format, encoder/decoder.
