New Practice for Infrastructure Connected vehicle Data Extraction (ICODE)
1. Scope
1.1 This standard practice outlines a method for collecting road infrastructure data using factory installed embedded software that operates exclusively on original, factory-installed vehicle sensors.
1.2 The method supports large-scale, passive, and continuous monitoring of road networks using production vehicles during normal driving operations.
1.3 This practice is intended for use by transportation agencies, infrastructure owners, and service providers interested in scalable, non-invasive data collection from roads.
1.4 This standard refers to OEM generated data only, data that the OEM and the driver are comfortable to share.
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
Connected Vehicle Data (CVD) for infrastructure is rapidly expanding, with many different data sources and generation methods entering the market. To reduce procurement risk, agencies need a clear standard that defines what type of “data” is being delivered and how it is generated. This ASTM standard focuses on OEM-approved, factory-installed sensor data, ensuring long-term availability, data quality, and regulatory compliance. By attaching this standard, agencies gain confidence that the data is reliable, comparable, and suitable for long-term infrastructure investment decisions. In a next phase, specific connected vehicle data types will be defined in a separate but related standard that builds on and explicitly refers to this foundational practice.
