STB BS ISO 37154-2017 — Smart community infrastructures — Best practice guidelines for transportation. This standard provides guidance for planning, designing, operating and improving smart transportation systems and associated infrastructure to support movement of people, freight and goods within and between communities, with emphasis on affordability, convenience, environmental impact and reliability for diverse stakeholders.

Abstract

ISO 37154:2017 gives general guidance on the planning, design, development, organization, monitoring, maintenance and continuous improvement of smart transportation systems and infrastructures. It addresses transportation infrastructures used for moving people, freight or other goods, considers community factors (population, demographics, local culture) and defines scope, services and objectives for smart transportation solutions; it does not contain technical construction specifications. Intended users include city planners, public authorities, transport operators, investors and equipment manufacturers.

Scope

Provides best-practice guidance for smart transportation infrastructures used within communities and between neighbouring areas. It covers processes and activities for planning, design, development, organization, monitoring, maintenance and improvement of transportation systems to meet objectives such as affordability, accessibility, low environmental impact and reliability. The standard applies to transportation of people and goods but excludes detailed technical specifications for construction of transportation assets.

Key topics and requirements

• Guidance on planning and design of smart transportation systems and networks (considering modality, routes, connectivity and user needs).
• Processes for development, organization, operation, monitoring and maintenance of transportation infrastructure.
• Consideration of community context — population, demographics, local culture and impacts on service design.
• Objectives addressing affordability, convenience, environmental performance and reliability for diverse stakeholders.
• Guidance only — does not prescribe technical construction specifications or detailed engineering requirements.

Typical use and users

Used by city planners, municipal and regional decision makers, transport authorities and operators, infrastructure owners, urban designers, policy makers, investors and financing organizations, insurance providers and manufacturers of transportation equipment. It supports strategic decision-making about transportation modes, service scope and performance objectives to improve quality of life and sustainability in communities.
