The ITS Data Bus (IDB) is a non-proprietary token passing bus, designed to allow disparate consumer, vehicle, and commercial electronic components to communicate and share information across a standard, open data bus. This first version of the IDB is called IDB-C.
This Recommended Practice describes the Link Layer of the IDB-C, as shown in Section 1. Below the Link Layer of the IDB-C is the CAN 2.0B Link Layer. The Physical Layer of the IDB-C incorporates the Physical Layer as specified by SAE J2366-1 and J2590.
