1.6.2.1: Exchange Data with Rail Operations

This process is responsible for exchanging routine data with rail operations. Such data being sent to the rail operators includes event schedules, requests for information from the Rail Operators, incident notification based on rail operations messages received from the "Close HRI on Detection" process and hri_priority_message data received from the Manage Alerts and Advisories process. This process receives maintenance schedules, train schedules, and incident notifications from the rail operators. This information is used to develop the rail operations update data that is passed onto the Manage Rail Traffic Control Data process and the rail operations priority data that is sent to the Manage Alerts and Advisories process.

This process is associated with the Traffic Management Center physical object.
