ISO 17572系列规定了在地理数据库环境中描述位置的LRM，并用于在编码器系统和解码器端定位与传输相关的现象。ISO 17572系列定义了此类对象的含义，并详细描述了引用，包括引用的组件是强制性的还是可选的，以及它们的特征。 ISO 17572系列规定了两种不同的LRM: -预先编码的位置参考（预先编码的配置文件）； -动态位置参考（动态配置文件）。 ISO 17572系列没有定义实现LRM的物理格式。 然而，对物理格式的要求是明确的。 本文件规定了预编码的LRM，包括: -预编码位置参考规范（预编码剖面）； -VICS链路位置的逻辑格式（附件A）； -警报C（TMC）位置参考的TPEG物理格式（附录B、C和D）； -ETL的TPEG物理格式（附录E、F和G）； -韩国节点链接ID参考的TPEG物理格式（附录H，I&J）。 -路段识别数据集的逻辑格式（附录K）。

The ISO 17572 series specifies LRMs that describe locations in the context of geographic databases and are used to locate transport-related phenomena in an encoder system as well as in the decoder side. The ISO 17572 series defines what is meant by such objects and describes the reference in detail, including whether or not components of the reference are mandatory or optional, and their characteristics. The ISO 17572 series specifies two different LRMs: — pre-coded location references (pre-coded profile); — dynamic location references (dynamic profile). The ISO 17572 series does not define a physical format for implementing the LRM. However, the requirements for physical formats are defined. This document specifies the pre-coded LRM, comprising: — specification of pre-coded location references (pre-coded profile); — logical format for VICS link location (Annex A); — TPEG physical format for ALERT-C (TMC) location references (Annex B, C & D); — TPEG physical format for ETLs (Annex E, F & G); — TPEG physical format for Korean node-link ID references (Annex H, I & J). — logical format for Road Section Identification Data set (Annex K).
