Includes Physical Objects:

Physical Object Class Description
Center Center This general physical object is used to model core capabilities that are common to any center.
Connected Vehicle Roadside Equipment Field 'Connected Vehicle Roadside Equipment' (CV RSE) represents the Connected Vehicle roadside devices (i.e., Roadside Units (RSUs)) equipped with short range wireless (SRW) communications technology, as well as any other supporting equipment that leverage the RSU and are not described by other objects (e.g., a local roadside processor). CVRSE are used to send messages to, and receive messages from, nearby vehicles and personal devices equipped with compatible communications technology. Communications with adjacent field equipment and back office centers that monitor and control the RSE are also supported. This device operates from a fixed position and may be permanently deployed or a portable device that is located temporarily in the vicinity of a traffic incident, road construction, or a special event. It includes a processor, data storage, and communications capabilities that support secure communications with passing vehicles, other field equipment, and centers.
Field Maintenance Equipment Field 'Field Maintenance Equipment' represents the portable equipment used by field personnel to locally troubleshoot, initialize, reprogram, and test infrastructure equipment. It may include a laptop, specialized diagnostics tools, or any other general purpose or specialized equipment that is interfaced locally to infrastructure equipment to support maintenance and repair.
ITS Object ITS The general 'ITS Object' includes core capabilities common to any class of object.
Maint and Constr Field Personnel Field Represents the people that perform maintenance and construction field activities including vehicle and equipment operators, field supervisory personnel, field crews, and work zone safety personnel. Information flowing from the Maintenance and Construction Field Personnel will include those system inputs specific to maintenance and construction operations, such as information regarding work zone status, or the status of maintenance actions. The field personnel are also monitored within the work zone to enhance work zone safety. Information provided to Maintenance and Construction Field Personnel includes dispatch requests, maintenance and construction actions to be performed, and work zone safety warnings.
Maint and Constr Management Center Center The 'Maint and Constr Management Center' monitors and manages roadway infrastructure construction and maintenance activities. Representing both public agencies and private contractors that provide these functions, this physical object manages fleets of maintenance, construction, or special service vehicles (e.g., snow and ice control equipment). The physical object receives a wide range of status information from these vehicles and performs vehicle dispatch, routing, and resource management for the vehicle fleets and associated equipment. The physical object participates in incident response by deploying maintenance and construction resources to an incident scene, in coordination with other center physical objects. The physical object manages equipment at the roadside, including environmental sensors and automated systems that monitor and mitigate adverse road and surface weather conditions. It manages the repair and maintenance of both non-ITS and ITS equipment including the traffic controllers, detectors, dynamic message signs, signals, and other equipment associated with the roadway infrastructure. Weather information is collected and fused with other data sources and used to support advanced decision support systems.

The physical object remotely monitors and manages ITS capabilities in work zones, gathering, storing, and disseminating work zone information to other systems. It manages traffic in the vicinity of the work zone and advises drivers of work zone status (either directly at the roadside or through an interface with the Transportation Information Center or Traffic Management Center physical objects.)

Construction and maintenance activities are tracked and coordinated with other systems, improving the quality and accuracy of information available regarding closures and other roadway construction and maintenance activities.
Other Connected Vehicle Roadside Equipment Field Representing another Connected Vehicle Roadside Equipment, 'Other Connected Vehicle Roadside Equipment' supports peer to peer communication and direct coordination between RSEs. It provides a source and destination for information that may be exchanged between RSEs.
Service Monitor System Support The 'Service Monitor System' represents one or more center-based systems that provide monitoring, management and control services necessary to other applications and/or devices operating within the Connected Vehicle Environment. These support services enable other applications to provide transportation services.
Service Monitor System Operator Support The 'Service Monitor System Operator' represents the person or people that monitor and manage the Service Monitor System.

This is a control flow, so should be obfuscated to make it more difficult for a 3rd party to manipulate the RSE. Control parameters need to be correct and not corrupted so that the owner of the RSE and the receiver of the RSE's data get what they need from it.

Device operational status information should be known only by those entities that need to know for operations and maintenance. Allowing others to read this information may enable abuse of those systems, 3rd party monitoring of system status when that may not be desireable, and reverse engineering of this and similar information flows. If this data is incorrect or unavailable then maintenance assets may not be appropriately assigned, resulting in inefficient use of maintenance assets and higher overall downtime.

A delay in reporting this may cause a delay in necessary maintenance, but (a) this is not time-critical and (b) there are other channels for reporting malfunctioning. Additionally, there is a message received notification, which means that RSE can ensure that all intersection safety issues are delivered.

ITS Object Service Monitor System system status High High High
System operational status information could be used to either initiate or confirm attacks, leading to significant downtime of related C-ITS systems. System status information needs the greatest possible correctness, as if it is incorrect then inappropriate actions may be triggered that, for large backoffice and core systems, have widespread repurcussions. Monitoring of system operational status has the highest possible needs for availability, as without an understanding of system state it is difficult to impossible to manage the system. This rating may be downgraded for end entities whose performance are not critical to high-value user needs.

Data is not overly sensitive, but is a bulk statement about the status of all field equipment managed by the maintenance center. A hostile actor could use this information in the commission of a crime, for instance by understanding which cameras were not working and thus what areas are not under surveillance. Center-based data exchanges are expected to be correct, and deserving of at leas some error checking. If this data is corrupted, the receiving center will be misinformed as to the state of field equipment maintenance. Depends on the update frequency required. Possibly LOW, depending on the amount of equipment and what this flow is used for at the terminus.
