ISO 17185-1:2014定义了向包括国际旅行者在内的地面公共交通用户提供高效公共交通用户信息的框架。 在地面公共交通用户信息提供领域，相关区域和国家标准化机构已经制定了一套区域和国家标准。 ISO 17185-1:2014定义了为地面公共交通用户提供用户信息的基本框架，其观点是，在最需要和最有效的情况下，应向地面公共交通用户提供适当的静态和实时信息。 为了实现理想的信息提供，必须使用当前可用的区域标准，以适当的方式高效地收集、处理地面公共交通信息，并将其提供给地面公共交通用户。 ISO 17185-1:2014的目的不是定义ISO 17185的新部分，以取代与地面公共交通相关的现行区域和国家标准。它旨在通过尊重现有的区域标准并明智地使用这些标准，定义地面公共交通用户信息提供的基本框架。 ISO 17185-1:2014的目的不是定义特定的信息接口，如数据格式或停止点编号系统。 建议在该范围内适用区域和国家团体制定的现有区域标准。

ISO 17185-1:2014 defines the framework for the realization of efficient public transport user information provision to surface public transport users including international worldwide travellers. In the surface public transport user information provision area, a set of regional and national standards have already been established by related regional and national standardizing bodies. ISO 17185-1:2014 defines basic framework for user information provision for surface public transport users, from the viewpoint that the surface public transport users should be provided with proper static and real-time information when it is most desired and effective. In order to realize the desirable information provision, surface public transport information has to be efficiently gathered, processed, and provided to surface public transport users in an appropriate way by using currently available regional standards. ISO 17185-1:2014 does not aim to define a new part of ISO 17185 that supersede current regional and national standards related to surface public transport. It aims to define the basic framework of surface public transport user information provision by esteeming existing regional standards and wisely using them. ISO 17185-1:2014 does not aim to define specific information interfaces such as data format or a stop point numbering system. The currently available regional standards established by regional and national groups are suggested to be applied in that scope.
