Includes Physical Objects:

Physical Object Class Description
ITS Communications Equipment Support 'ITS Communications Equipment' includes the communications hardware and software that supports secure, reliable communications. It provides the layered protocols and communications services and includes the physical network plant and network hardware that supports ITS communications. It also encompasses security services that protect communications and the management services that support network management. This physical object allows transportation stakeholders that are implementing their own communications solution to represent this implementation in their ITS architecture. The communications capabilities provided by this physical object are frequently purchased from a third party provider. When communications is a purchased service, the hardware and software included in this physical object are largely transparent to transportation stakeholders and may be transparent to the ITS architecture.
ITS Object ITS The general 'ITS Object' includes core capabilities common to any class of object.
Other ITS Objects ITS Representing other ITS Objects, 'Other ITS Objects' provides a source and destination for information exchange between ITS Objects.
Pathway Communications Unit Field The 'Pathway Communications Unit' provides wireless communications between the pathway infrastructure (either indoor or outdoor) and nearby mobile devices; Communications with adjacent field equipment (including other PCUs) and back-office centers that monitor and control the PCU are also supported. The PCU provides basic radio communications supporting the lower layers of the OSI stack (TransNet and SubNet layers of the ARC-IT communications model). Importantly, it can also serve as a reference for mobile devices to determine their position more accurately (e.g., through triangulation or other means).
Roadside Communications Unit Field The 'Roadside Communications Unit' provides wireless communications between roadside infrastructure and nearby equipped vehicles. Communications with adjacent field equipment (including other RCUs) and back office centers that monitor and control the RCU are also supported. It provides basic radio communications supporting the lower layers of the OSI stack (TransNet and SubNet layers of the ARC-IT communications model). See also 'Connected Vehicle Roadside Equipment' that extends the basic RCU radio communications functionality with a full communications stack and support for locally installed ITS Applications
Wide Area Information Disseminator System Support The 'Wide Area Information Disseminator System' represents the center based systems and communications equipment that is used to send messages to equipped vehicles using wide-area wireless communications such as satellite radio, terrestrial FM broadcast subcarrier, or cellular data networks.

Includes Functional Objects:

Functional Object Description Physical Object
ITS Communications Privacy Protection 'ITS Communications Privacy Protection' operates as a proxy, obscuring the originator's network address, and tagging the message so that it can return replies to the originator. ITS Communications Equipment
ITS Communications Services 'ITS Communications Services' supports secure, reliable data communications between connected devices. It includes the network devices as well as any required physical cabling and supporting hardware that represent the communications infrastructure that originate, route, and terminate data communications between a source and a destination. Applications specific protocols are layered over more general communications protocols to support the communications. Network management keeps the network configured and working reliably. Security services ensure the data received is correct and from an authentic source. ITS Communications Equipment
ITS Communications Support 'ITS Communications Support' provides means to send and receive messages to and from other ITS Objects. It provides mechanisms for scheduling and prioritizing communications traffic. It may also provide relay functions. ITS Object
ITS Security Support 'ITS Security Support' provides communications and system security functions to the ITS Object, including privacy protection functions. It may include firewall, intrusion management, authentication, authorization, profile management, identity management, cryptographic key management. It may include a hardware security module and security management information base. ITS Object
PCU Communications 'PCU Communications' provides basic radio communications between pathway infrastructure and nearby mobile devices. Communications with adjacent field equipment (including other PCUs) and back office centers that monitor and control the PCU are also supported. It supports the lower layers of the OSI stack, specifically the TransNet and SubNet layers of the ARC-IT communications model. Message relay capabilities are also included to improve radio communications range, reliability, and performance. Pathway Communications Unit
RCU Radio Communications 'RCU Radio Communications' provides basic radio communications between roadside infrastructure and nearby equipped vehicles and mobile devices. Communications with adjacent field equipment (including other RCUs) and back office centers that monitor and control the RCU are also supported. It supports the lower layers of the OSI stack, specifically the TransNet and SubNet layers of the ARC-IT communications model. Message relay capabilities are also included to improve radio communications range, reliability, and performance. Roadside Communications Unit
WAID Broadcast Services 'WAID Broadcast Services' provides wide-area digital broadcast of traveler information to transportation users across a region. It collects traveler information of interest to clientele (either subscribers or the general public) and distributes the traveler information using broadcast data services that are offered in context with entertainment and other data services. Wide Area Information Disseminator System

Includes Information Flows:

Information Flow Description
ITS information Information exchanged by ITS systems or devices. This flow is a super-flow; it does not define specific content since it represents any information flow exchange between physical objects defined in ARC-IT. This information flow represents any of those information flows and inherits the data content and attributes defined in the more detailed information flows.
local ITS information ITS information that is relevant to a particular location (e.g., a particular intersection) that is of interest to receivers near that location. This flow is a super-flow; it does not define specific content since it represents any information flow exchange using short range communications between physical objects defined in ARC-IT. This includes both broadcast communications to all receivers within range and unicast communications targeted for a specific receiver. This information flow represents any of those information flows and inherits the data content and attributes defined in the more detailed information flows.
local ITS information relay Local ITS information that is relayed to improve range, reliability, and/or performance. This flow is a super-flow; it does not define specific content since it represents any relay of 'local ITS information' using short range communications. See 'local ITS information' for more information.
proxied ITS information Information exchanged by ITS systems or devices where the sender is isolated from the receiver by an intermediary that acts as a proxy for the sender. This flow is a super-flow; it does not define specific content since it represents any information flow exchange between physical objects defined in ARC-IT. This information flow represents any of those information flows and inherits the data content and attributes defined in the more detailed information flows.
wide area broadcast ITS information ITS information of broad interest that is relevant over a wide area and suitable for broadcast distribution. This flow is a super-flow; it does not define specific content since it represents all wide-area broadcast information flows defined in ARC-IT. This information flow represents any of those broadcast information flows and inherits the data content and attributes defined in the more detailed information flows.

By definition this is publicly broadcast data. The distribution of this data is intended to be very large, as such the impact of corrupted data will be significant. Probably not HIGH, as there are other distribution channels for this data. There are multiple channels for the delivery of this information, so if this one is not available, others will work. Could consider raising this to MODERATE if it is the sole mechanism able to reach certain areas.
