2. SPECIFICATION OF THE GNSS RECEIVER U.K.

Regardless of the configuration of the Smart Tachograph with or without an external GNSS facility, the provision of accurate and reliable positioning information is an essential element of the effective operation of the Smart Tachograph. Therefore, it is appropriate to require its compatibility with the services provided by the Galileo and European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) programmes as set out in Regulation (EU) No 1285/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council(1). The system established under the Galileo programme is an independent global satellite navigation system and the one established under the EGNOS programme is a regional satellite navigation system improving the quality of the Global Positioning System signal.

GNS_2 Manufacturers shall ensure that the GNSS receivers in the Smart Tachographs are compatible with the positioning services provided by the Galileo and the EGNOS systems. Manufacturers may also choose, in addition, compatibility with other satellite navigation systems. U.K.

GNS_3 The GNSS receiver shall have the capability to support Authentication on the Open Service of Galileo when such service will be provided by the Galileo system and supported by GNSS receiver manufacturers. However, for smart tachographs introduced in the market before the previous conditions are satisfied and not having the capability to support Authentication of the Open Service of Galileo, no retrofitting will be required. U.K.

3. NMEA SENTENCES U.K.

This section describes the NMEA sentences used in the functioning of the Smart Tachograph. This section is valid both for the configuration of the Smart Tachograph with or without an external GNSS facility.

GNS_4 The location data is based on the NMEA sentence Recommended Minimum Specific (RMC) GNSS Data, which contains the Position information (Latitude, Longitude), Time in UTC format (hhmmss.ss), and Speed Over Ground in Knots plus additional values. U.K.

The format of the RMC sentence is the following (as from NMEA V4.1 standard):

Figure 2

Structure of the RMC sentence

The Status gives indication if the GNSS signal is available. Until the value of the Status is not set to A, the received data (e.g., on Time or Latitude/Longitude) cannot be used to record the position of the vehicle in the VU.

[F1 The resolution of the position is based on the format of the RMC sentence described above. The first part of the fields 3) and 5) are used to represent the degrees. The rest are used to represent the minutes with three decimals. So the resolution is 1/1000 of minute or 1/60000 of degree (because one minute is 1/60 of a degree).]

[F1 GNS_5 The Vehicle Unit shall store in the VU database the position information for latitude and longitude with a resolution of 1/10 of minute or 1/600 of a degree as described in Appendix 1 for type GeoCoordinates. U.K.

The GPS DOP and active satellites (GSA) command can be used by the VU to determine and record the signal availability and accuracy. In particular the HDOP is used to provide an indication on the level of accuracy of the recorded location data (see 4.2.2). The VU will store the value of the Horizontal Dilution of Precision (HDOP) calculated as the minimum of the HDOP values collected on the available GNSS systems.

The GNSS Id. indicates the corresponding NMEA Id. for every GNSS constellation and Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS).

[F1 GNS_6 The GSA sentence shall be stored with record number ‘02’ to ‘06’.] U.K.

GNS_7 The maximum size of the NMEA sentences (e.g., RMC, GSA or others), which can be used for the sizing of the read record command shall be 85 bytes (see Table 1). U.K.

4.2.2 Secure transfer of GNSS data U.K.

GNS_22 The secure transfer of GNSS position data shall be allowed only in the following conditions: U.K.

1.

The coupling process has been completed as described in Appendix 11. Common security mechanisms.

2.

The periodic mutual authentication and session key agreement between the VU and the external GNSS facility also described in Appendix 11. Common security mechanisms has been executed with the indicated frequency.

GNS_23 Every T seconds, where T is a value lower or equal to 10, unless coupling or mutual authentication and session key agreement takes place, the VU requests from the external GNSS facility the position information on the basis of the following flow: U.K.

1.

The VU requests location data from the External GNSS facility together with Dilution of Precision data (from the GSA NMEA sentence). The VU Secure Transceiver shall use the ISO/IEC 7816-4:2013 SELECT and READ RECORD(S) command in secure messaging authentication-only mode as described in Appendix 11 section 11.5 with the file identifier ‘2F2F’ and RECORD number equal to ‘01’ for RMC NMEA sentence and ‘02’,‘03’,‘04’,‘05’,‘06’ for GSA NMEA sentence.

2.

The last location data received is stored in the EF with identifier ‘2F2F’ and the records described in Table 1 in the GNSS secure transceiver as the GNSS secure transceiver receives NMEA data with a frequency of at least 1 Hz from the GNSS receiver through the GNSS data interface.

3.

The GNSS Secure Transceiver sends the response to the VU Secure Transceiver by using the APDU response message in secure messaging authentication-only mode as described in Appendix 11 section 11.5.

4.

The VU Secure Transceiver checks the authenticity and integrity of the received response. In case of positive outcome, the location data is transferred to the VU processor through the GNSS data interface.

5.

[F1 The VU processor checks the received data extracting the information (e.g., latitude, longitude, time) from the RMC NMEA sentence. The RMC NMEA sentence includes the information if the position is valid. If the position is not valid, the location data is not available yet and it cannot be used to record the position of the vehicle. If the position is valid, the VU processor also extracts the values of HDOP from GSA NMEA sentences and calculate the minimum value on the available satellite systems (i.e., when the fix is available).]

6.

The VU processor stores the received and processed information such as latitude, longitude, time and speed in the VU in the format defined in Appendix 1 Data Dictionary as GeoCoordinates together with the value of HDOP calculated as the minimum of the HDOP values collected on the available GNSS systems.

4.2.3 Structure of the Read Record command U.K.

This section describes in detail the structure of the Read Record command. Secure messaging (authentication-only mode) is added as described in Appendix 11 Common security mechanisms.

GNS_24 The command shall support the Secure Messaging authentication-only-mode, see Appendix 11. U.K.

GNS_25 Command Message U.K.

Byte	Length	Value	Description
CLA	1	‘0Ch’	Secure messaging asked.
INS	1	‘B2h’	Read Record

P2	1	‘04h’	Read the record with the record number indicated in P1
Le	1	‘XXh’	Length of data expected. Number of Bytes to be read.

GNS_26 The record referenced in P1 becomes the current record. U.K.

Byte	Length	Value	Description
#1-#X	X	‘XX..XXh’	Data read
SW	2	‘XXXXh’	Status Words (SW1,SW2)

• If the command is successful, the GNSS secure transceiver returns ‘9000’.

• If the current file is not record oriented, the GNSS secure transceiver returns ‘6981’.

• If the command is used with P1 = ‘00’ but there is no current EF the GNSS secure transceiver returns ‘6986’ (command not allowed).

• If the record is not found, the GNSS secure transceiver returns ‘6A 83’.

• If the external GNSS facility has detected tampering, it shall return status words ‘66 90’.

GNS_27 The GNSS Secure Transceiver shall support the following tachograph generation 2 commands specified in Appendix 2: U.K.

Command	Reference

The coupling, mutual authentication and session key agreement of the external GNSS facility with the vehicle unit is described in Appendix 11. Common security mechanisms, Chapter 11.

4.4. Error Handling U.K.

This section describes how potential error conditions by the external GNSS facility are addressed and recorded in the VU.

4.4.1 Communication error with the external GNSS facility U.K.

[F1 GNS_28 If the VU does not manage to communicate to the coupled external GNSS facility for more than 20 continuous minutes, the VU shall generate and record in the VU an event of type EventFaultType with the value of enum ‘ 0E ’ H Communication error with the external GNSS facility and with the timestamp set to the current time. The event will be generated only if the following two conditions are satisfied: (a) the Smart Tachograph is not in calibration mode and (b) the vehicle is moving. In this context, a communication error is triggered when the VU Secure Transceiver does not receive a response message after a request message as described in 4.2.] U.K.

4.4.2 Breach of the physical integrity of the external GNSS facility U.K.

[F1 GNS_29 If the external GNSS facility has been breached, the GNSS Secure Transceiver shall erase all its memory including cryptographic material. As described in GNS_25 and GNS_26, the VU shall detect tampering if the Response has status ‘ 6690 ’ . The VU shall then generate an event of type EventFaultType enum ‘ 19 ’ H Tamper detection of GNSS. Alternately, the external GNSS facility may not respond to any external request anymore.] U.K.

4.4.3 Absence of position information from GNSS receiver U.K.

[F1 GNS_30 If the GNSS Secure Transceiver does not receive data from the GNSS receiver for more than 3 continuous hours, the GNSS Secure Transceiver shall generate a response message to the READ RECORD command with RECORD number equal to ‘ 01 ’ with a Data Field of 12 bytes all set to 0xFF. Upon reception of the Response message with this value of the data field, the VU shall generate and record an event of type EventFaultType enum ‘ 0D ’ H Absence of position information from GNSS receiver event with a timestamp equal to the current value of time only if the following two conditions are satisfied: a) the Smart Tachograph is not in calibration mode and b) the vehicle is moving.] U.K.

4.4.4 External GNSS facility certificate expired U.K.

GNS_31 [F1 If the VU detects that the EGF certificate used for mutual authentication is not valid any longer, the VU shall generate and record a recording equipment event of type EventFaultType enum ‘ 1B ’ H External GNSS facility certificate expired with a timestamp equal to the current value of time. The VU shall still use the received GNSS position data.] U.K.

Figure 4

Schema of the external GNSS facility

5. VEHICLE UNIT WITHOUT AN EXTERNAL GNSS FACILITY U.K.

5.1. Configuration U.K.

In this configuration, the GNSS receiver is inside the Vehicle Unit as described in Figure 1.

GNS_32 The GNSS receiver shall act as a talker and transmit NMEA sentences to the VU processor, which shall act as a listener with a frequency of 1/10 Hz or faster for the pre-defined set of NMEA sentences, which shall include at least the RMC and GSA sentences. U.K.

GNS_33 An external GNSS antenna installed on the vehicle or an internal GNSS antenna shall be connected to the VU. U.K.

5.2. Error Handling U.K.

5.2.1 Absence of position information from GNSS receiver U.K.

[F1 GNS_34 If the VU does not receive data from the GNSS receiver for more than 3 continous hours, the VU shall generate and record an event of type EventFaultType enum ‘ 0D ’ H Absence of position information from GNSS receiver event with a timestamp equal to the current value of time only if the following two conditions are satisfied: (a) the Smart Tachograph is not in calibration mode and (b) the vehicle is moving.] U.K.

[F1 6. GNSS TIME CONFLICT U.K.

If the VU detects a discrepancy of more than 1 minute between the time of the vehicle unit's time measurement function and the time originating from the GNSS receiver, the VU will record an event of type EventFaultType enum ‘ 0B ’ H Time conflict (GNSS versus VU internal clock) . After a time conflict event has been triggered, the VU will not check the time discrepancy for the next 12 hours. This event shall not be triggered in cases no valid GNSS signal was detectable by the GNSS receiver within the last 30 days.]

7. VEHICLE MOTION CONFLICT U.K.

GNS_35 The VU shall trigger and record an Vehicle Motion Conflict event (see in requirement 84 in this Annex) with a timestamp equal to the current value of time, in case motion information calculated from the motion sensor is contradicted by motion information calculated from the internal GNSS receiver or from the external GNSS facility. For the purpose of detecting such contradictions, the median value of the speed differences between these sources shall be used, as specified below: U.K.

• every 10 seconds maximum, the absolute value of the difference between the vehicle speed estimated from the GNSS and the one estimated from the motion sensor shall be computed.

• all the computed values in a time window containing the last five minutes of movement shall be used to compute the median value.

• the median value shall be computed as the average of 80 % of the remaining values, after having eliminated the highest ones in absolute values

The Vehicle Motion Conflict event shall be triggered if the median value is above 10 Km/h for five uninterrupted minutes of vehicle movement. Other independent sources of vehicle motion detection may optionnally be used, so that a more reliable detection of tachograph manipulations is provided. (Note: the use of the median on the last 5 minutes is applied to mitigate the risk of measurement outliers and transient values). This event shall not be triggered in the following conditions: (a) during a ferry/train crossing, (b) when the position information from the GNSS receiver shall not be available and (c) while in calibration mode.
