WG 7 Meeting n n n WG 7 had a plenary meeting on Wednesday April 26, 2006 in Busan, Korea with representation from Japan, Korea, Canada, Norway, South Africa, and the US. The status of the work items was discussed and a summary of the activities and status since the last report follows. In addition coordination and liaison activities between WG 7 and other partner will be reported on independently Reports from the WG 7. 1, 7. 2 and 7. 3 were received and are covered here TC 204 -WG 7 April 27, 2006 4

SWG 7. 1 Work Item ISO/FDIS 17687 “Data Dictionary and Message sets for electronic identification and Monitoring of Hazardous Materials / Dangerous Goods Transportation” TC 204 -WG 7 April 27, 2006 5

SWG 7. 1 Work Item Scope n The promotion of safety and security in the transportation of hazardous materials/dangerous goods in all modes of transportation includes not only regulatory compliance delivery but recognises the potential benefits of new technology for monitoring and emergency response. TC 204 -WG 7 April 27, 2006 6

SWG 7. 1 Work Item objective n The purpose of developing a data dictionary and message sets for electronic identification and monitoring of hazardous materials/dangerous goods transportation is to allow the transfer of information electronically for tracking and emergency response. These message sets would provide a method to carry internationally accepted hazardous material codes as well as other relevant information and would be transparent to the end user. TC 204 -WG 7 April 27, 2006 7

Application and purpose n In emergency situations, obtaining real-time information regarding the identification, the handling and condition of dangerous freight is crucial towards a successful intervention. The message sets would be an integral part of a system that would provide to emergency responders (police, fire fighter, etc. ) the hazardous material/dangerous goods information efficiently and in a timely manner. TC 204 -WG 7 April 27, 2006 8

Application and purpose-Cont. n If the transport vehicle were involved in an accident, the emergency responder would seek or receive from the vehicle’s on-board device the vital information remotely from reasonable and safe distance. The device would provide the appropriate identification number (ISO, UN, or otherwise) of the hazardous materials/dangerous goods and other important information. TC 204 -WG 7 April 27, 2006 9

n A more sophisticated system, if warranted by the type of product, would link other on-board sensors, and provide information on the state of the transported hazardous material (i. e. temperature, volume, pressure, etc. ). Allowing monitoring and tracking of the goods. n By obtaining this information directly from the on-board devices, the time and accuracy associated with collecting this information through a remote source would be greatly improved.

SWG 7. 1 Work Item n Document status: – Since the last report to WG 7 in Portland, Oregon, USA the swg 7. 1 Convener/Acting Editor has finalized the implementation of the comment resolutions decisions taken by SWG 7. 1 in their Portland meeting. Ready to forward to ISO central secretariat in Geneva for the final Balloting round. Given our previous experience, where the DIS document was delayed in Geneva for 6 months, a covering letter (to the TC secretariat) with copies to the Mr. Michael Noblett - TC 204 chair, Mr. Keith Brennan - ISO Central Secretariat /TC 204 liaison as well as other interested parties, was sent to insure that the problem does not reoccur. In addition, an advance unofficial copy of the FDIS was sent to our ISO English editor in Geneva to enlist his support in finalizing the document for publication. . TC 204 -WG 7 April 27, 2006 12

Status of FDIS document n Follow up with the TC secretariat indicated that the FDIS was sent to Geneva immediately. Informal inquiries in Geneva indicated that it has not reached a specific section of the Geneva computer that would trigger the balloting process. I advised the TC secretariat of the issue and was promised that it would be sorted out. To my knowledge the issue remains and needs URGENT resolution. TC 204 -WG 7 April 27, 2006 13

Status of FDIS document, Cont. n Furthermore, thanks to our colleagues from Japan, we were advised that they found on the ISO central secretariat a "warning" under a time rule (2 or 5 year rule) that would result in the Geneva computer dropping the standard from the system. It is obvious that there is a breakdown in communications between the TC and the Central secretariat. So we have at least two issues to be solved by the TC regarding: – – a) document balloting status and b) document timeline status. TC 204 -WG 7 April 27, 2006 14

SWG 7. 2 AWI - ISO 24533 n Intelligent Transport Systems – Data Dictionary and Message Set for Monitoring of Freight and its Intermodal Transfer – Road Transport Information Exchanges TC 204 -WG 7 April 27, 2006 15

SWG 7. 2 Work Scope n n n This specifies the data concepts draft document applicable to the tracking of freight and its intermodal transfer. These data concepts include data elements and messages that comprise information exchanges at road transport information exchange points along the chain of participants responsible for the delivery of goods from the point of origin through to final recipient. This International Standard includes information items necessary to address the security aspects of the freight movement in modal (road), multimodal, and intermodal transactions. TC 204 -WG 7 April 27, 2006 16

Vision n Together with other stakeholders create an end-to-end electronic supply chain manifest to improve the productivity, efficiency and the security of the multi-modal movements of freight TC 204 -WG 7 April 27, 2006 17

Standards objectives for WG 7. 2 n The objectives are to have: – an electronic freight manifest to: o satisfy the needs of the transport business, and o governmental organizations that regulate the flow of business o complements WCO Data Set on Surface Transport of goods transiting multiple bordering countries o considers the work of UN/CEFACT and other e -Business MOU participants TC 204 -WG 7 April 27, 2006 18

Standards Scope for WG 7. 2 cont. n This draft international standard specifies: - Data concepts applicable to the movement of freight and its intermodal transfers. - Messages for information exchanges at road transport interfaces from origin to destination. - Data needs that satisfy the requirements of both business and government. TC 204 -WG 7 April 27, 2006 19

Methodology n n Create a concept of operation that uses the Standard to the advantage of business and government stakeholders in the freight supply chain. Employ selected Unified Modeling Language (UML) graphics and documentation for describing the information interchange model. TC 204 -WG 7 April 27, 2006 20

Methodology – cont. n Apply a modified “top down” approach to take into consideration existing work of other groups as well as legacy and technology demonstration systems – – – n UN/CEFACT Business Process Modeling World Customs Organizations Data Model Electronic Supply Chain Manifest Technology Demonstration Identify dialogs, messages, and data element concepts, then data elements themselves TC 204 -WG 7 April 27, 2006 21

Expected Benefits n n n n Improved visibility throughout the supply chain Enhanced security and efficiency throughout the supply chain Reduced paper documentation Reduced manual intervention Simplified, more cost effective communication Support for proliferation of standardized IT solutions Improved international cooperation TC 204 -WG 7 April 27, 2006 22

SWG 7. 2 meetings n The last meeting of Sub Working Group 7. 2 was on 19 April 2005 at the facilities of Federation des Entreprise de Transport et Logistique de France (TLF), Paris, France. There were participants from Canada, France, Japan, Korea and United States of America. The meeting was chaired by Mr. Mike Onder (DOT/FHWA) of the USA, ISO TC 204, Intelligent Transport Systems. TC 204 -WG 7 April 27, 2006 23

Document Status - activities CD 24533 which was positively balloted has been updated to incorporate all the comments received and has been circulated to all experts and friends of SWG 7. 2. we are holding sending it as a DIS pending the results of concepts validation by the freight industry Carriers part of a major demonstration would implement and test the current version of the document and highlight any shortcomings to the WG. The test is coordinated by many countries particularly the US. TC 204 -WG 7 April 27, 2006 24

Document Status - activities, cont. • At the meeting in Paris France in April 2005 a resolution was passed to delay the CD to a DIS ballot until a proof of concept project could be conducted with the US government and its industry partners. The resolution passed TC 204 to delay the work of WG 7. 2 for 18 months, and the Central Secretariat has concurred in this action. The intention is to get experience with a dataset and then bring that back to TC 204 WG 7 and continue the process. . TC 204 -WG 7 April 27, 2006 25

Activities between Portland Busan n. Since the last report was made at the Portland meeting in November 2005 there has been no active work in WG 7. 2 on CD 24533 document. n. The USDOT has been working with UN/CEFACT and OASIS-UBL to take advantage of trade data work they have been doing to find a dataset that can be useful in the Electronic Freight Management deployment (EFM) test scheduled for 2007. TC 204 -WG 7 April 27, 2006 26

Activities between Portland Busan n Since the Portland meeting of WG 7 in November 2005, the US Department of Transportation and its partners have continued to develop a detail design for the EFM test. Agreements have been signed with the partners to complete a detailed design by September 2006 and complete a build of that design by early 2007, and complete the deployment test later in the fall of 2007. An independent evaluation is scheduled for completion by late 2007. TC 204 -WG 7 April 27, 2006 27

SWG 7. 2 Activities leading to Busan n Late last year discussions were held with the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS), Patrick Gannon (CEO), and their subcommittee chair for the Unified Business Language (UBL), Jon Bosak, on strategies for getting a transport data set to use in the proof of concept. Within UBL a Transport subcommittee (TSC) created a transport data set. Additionally UNCEFACT (United Nations Center for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business) has also been discussing a joint partnership with UBL to complete a data set that could be used for deployment purposes. The chair of UNCEFACT, Dominique Vankemmel (also an expert on WG 7. 2) invited the chair of the TSC, Kamarudin Bin Tambi (better known as Kama) of Singapore, to join in the TBG 3 meeting in Lyon France September 2005 and in the UNCEFACT meeting in Vancouver British Columbia Canada in March 2006. Both TBG 3 and UBL-TSC agreed to cooperate on the development and finalization of a transport data set. The USDOT has also been engaged in discussion with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) on their E-Freight initiative. IATA would also like to participate in an end-to-end supply chain XML data set standard. A meeting in Geneva Switzerland is taking place 3 -5 May 2006 to discuss single window interoperability on trade data standards. USDOT will be represented at that meeting and will use that forum as an opportunity to share the design for EFM with UNCEFACT, OASIS-UBL, WCO (World Customs Organization) and IATA. The expectation is to leave that Geneva meeting with a consensus approach on a transport data set that can be tested in the Electronic Freight Management initiative. TC 204 -WG 7 April 27, 2006 28

SWG 7. 2 Activities leading to Busan n USDOT will keep the ISO TC 204 WG 7 informed of the progress and outcomes of those meetings. USDOT hopes to have a data set to use in the deployment test with the Limited Brands Inc. by June 2006. n thanks to our colleagues from Japan, we were advised that they found on the ISO central secretariat a "warning" under a time rule (2 or 5 year rule) that would result in the Geneva computer dropping this standard from the system. It seems that despite the fact that we requested a delay of 18 months (to 24) in the clock and the secretariat concurred, no one has changed the computer entries to stop the clock. It is obvious that there is a breakdown in communications between the TC and the Central secretariat. So the TC needs to resolve the document timeline status issue urgently. TC 204 -WG 7 April 27, 2006 29

Liaisons n Contacts with these organizations are being pursued actively. – Internal ISO Liaisons: Marine Technology (TC 8), Containers (TC 104), EDIFACT (TC 154), etc – External Liaisons: Business Processes (UN/CEFACT BPAWG), Customs (WCO), Rail (IEC TC 9), ICAO & IATA, etc TC 204 -WG 7 April 27, 2006 30

SWG 7. 3 ISO PWI 26683 activities n Freight conveyance content identification and communication architecture-Application profile and Security profile – Proposed by Japan, this is potentially Joint work between WG 7 and WG 4 based on a host of standards including the following ISO standards and TC 204 CALM implementation in support of current WG 7 work items TC 204 -WG 7 April 27, 2006 31

PWI 26683 Scope n This application and security profile will identify existing standards to support freight conveyance content identification and communication architecture. It will reference and relate the complementary standards to produce an implementable application. This includes systems such as architecture and data structure using RF tags, mobile communication, message sets and data dictionaries. The work will identify existing components and missing ones (if any). TC 204 -WG 7 April 27, 2006 32

PWI 26683 Scope Cont. n …. and will cover the following steps: – Identification of necessary information to specify cargo, container (equipment) or fleet truck while moving and formalize data structure of these information and reference the appropriate standard(s). – Identification of the functionality, performance and physical requirement for RF-ID that can handle these kind of data and reference the appropriate standard(s). – Identify communication system among shippers, forwarders and carriers with RF-tag - vehicle and vehicle - mobile communication and reference the appropriate standard(s). TC 204 -WG 7 April 27, 2006 33

PWI 26683 Scope Cont. n This work will require extensive interaction with other TC and international standardization bodies. This work will rely on container standards produced by ISO TC 104, on RF-ID produced by ISO/IEC JTC 1 SC 31, etc. if gaps are identified this may require creating joint working groups with other TC or other international body to fill these gaps. TC 204 -WG 7 April 27, 2006 34

26683 Rationale and objectives n n Different international standards bodies have developed a multitude of complementary and sometimes competing standards. However, no work is done to produce an application profile for Freight conveyance content identification and communication architecture that would allow the actual implementation of such application. This Application profile would sift through these standards, identify the relevant ones as well as the gaps that need to be filled. This PWI intends to facilitate international cargo flow and enhance the visibility of cargo and fleet movement through international/intermodal traffic by producing the blueprint for an implementable application. TC 204 -WG 7 April 27, 2006 35

26683 Rationale and Objectives, cont. n n n Creating this profile will help the implementation and use of CD 24533 (Intelligent Transport Systems — Data dictionary and message set to facilitate the movement of freight and its intermodal transfer — Road transport information exchanges for supply chain freight timesensitive delivery (Road-Air Freight-Road)) The integrated use of RFID and information transfer system technology for truck & container will accelerate implementation of safe and secure freight transportation. Shippers, forwarders and international carrier as well as domestic industries would be able to establish not only efficient but much more secure logistics using this application architecture profile.       TC 204 -WG 7 April 27, 2006 36

SWG 7. 3 Activities since Portland Since the last meeting in Portland when the PWI was proposed and approved by the TC. WG 7 advised the TC of its intention of creating a SWG 7. 3 to manage this PWI. The secretariat registered the work item with the central secretariat and issued a number: ISO PWI 26683. The SWG headed by Japan is in the process of: – Further defining the work, and preparing a background document – Raising interest of different member countries for participation – Liaising with other committees (WG 4 for joint work) – Focusing on which other ISO committees to Liaise with TC 204 -WG 7 April 27, 2006 40

SWG 7. 3 Results so far n n n A revised presentation was prepared by Dr. Shin ISII A meeting of some WG 7 members with WG 4 on April 25, 2006 in Busan was most useful in enlisting the help of that WG and focusing on some of the scope of the work. It was recommended that the work should encompass the security of data being transferred and that the title should highlight that fact as it would muster higher support and participation. A report on the meeting including the presentation will be available from Mr. Knut Evenson (Convener of WG 4) at a later date. Plans to enlist help and support have been successful in rising interest of some member countries and bring very knowledgeable experts to the table which will help Dr. ISHII to refine the work plan. TC 204 -WG 7 April 27, 2006 41

SWG 7. 3 Actions planned n n n Dr ISHII and the preliminary members and friends of SWG 7. 3 will cooperate in producing the background document and refine it. Once such a document is made available it will be circulated in WG 7 and its SWG, WG 4 and other related groups to form the official interested body of experts. The refined background document will be used to move the PWI to NP status TC 204 -WG 7 April 27, 2006 42

Next Meetings n n WG 7 will in principle meet again in conjunction with the TC meeting in South Africa on the Wednesday of Oct 4 th, 2006. Depending on the status of the FDIS, SWG 7. 1 may meet again in conjunction with the TC meeting in South Africa on the Wednesday of Oct 4 th, 2006. . Depending on the advancement of the tests SWG 7. 2 may schedule a meeting South Africa as well. However reporting on status of validation and coordination of the standard will take place in the WG 7 meeting. SWG 7. 3 will be meeting in conjunction with the TC meeting in South Africa on the Wednesday of Oct 4 th, 2006 as part of the WG 7 meeting. TC 204 -WG 7 April 27, 2006 43
