ITIS Is Everywhere

• ITIS codes are central to ATIS, IM, TMDD and TCIP
  messages
• ITIS codes can be freely mixed with text
• ITIS sub-groupings can be used for message
  filtering
• ITIS is a national code list, but allows local
  codes to be easily added in a consistent way

12
An Example of Cross SDO Integration
The IM message road work uses the ATIS message
event which in turn uses the IM lane
description which in turn uses several TMDD
codes, some of which come from ITIS codes.
