Intermodal Terminal --> Fleet and Freight Management Center:
intermodal terminal status

Definitions

intermodal terminal status (Information Flow): Current status of the intermodal terminal including the current queue length/delay, current access requirements and restrictions (e.g., access restricted to appointments only).

Intermodal Terminal (Source Physical Object): The 'Intermodal Terminal' represents the terminal areas corresponding to modal change points. This includes interfaces between roadway freight transportation and air, rail, and/or water shipping modes. The basic unit of cargo handled by the Intermodal Terminal physical object is the container; less-than-container load handling is typically handled at a different facility (i.e., Freight Consolidation Station). The Intermodal Terminal can include electronic gate control for entrance and exit from the facility, automated guidance of vehicles within the facility, alerting appropriate parties of container arrivals and departures, and inventory and location of temporarily stored containers.

Fleet and Freight Management Center (Destination Physical Object): The 'Fleet and Freight Management Center' provides the capability for commercial drivers and fleet-freight managers to receive real-time routing information and access databases containing vehicle and/or freight equipment locations as well as carrier, vehicle, freight equipment and driver information. The 'Fleet and Freight Management Center' also provides the capability for fleet managers to monitor the safety and security of their commercial vehicle drivers and fleet.

Communication Solutions

Solutions are sorted in ascending Gap Severity order. The Gap Severity is the parenthetical number at the end of the solution.

Selected Solution

(None-Data) - OASIS AMQP

Solution Description

This solution is used within the E.U. and the U.S.. It combines standards associated with (None-Data) with those for OASIS AMQP. The (None-Data) standards include an unspecified set of standards at the upper layers. The OASIS AMQP standards include lower-layer standards that support data distribution of specific types of data.

Note that some layers might have alternatives, in which case all of the gap icons associated with every alternative may be shown on the diagram, but the solution severity calculations (and resulting ordering of solutions) includes only the issues associated with the default (i.e., best, least severe) alternative.

Interoperability Description
Regional Interoperability throughout the geopolitical region is highly desirable, but if implemented differently in different transportation management jurisdictions, significant benefits will still accrue in each jurisdiction. Regardless, this Information Flow Triple should be implemented consistently within a transportation jurisdiction (i.e., the scope of a regional architecture).

Security

Information Flow Security
  Confidentiality Integrity Availability
Rating Low Moderate Moderate
Basis Information describing congestion at the terminal could be directly observed, and is also distributed via a TIC, and so observation of this flow is unlikely to have any serious effect. The volume of data implies a HIGH rating, however it is not clear that the consequences of incorrect information are catastrophic, but are probably less severe. Thus MODERATE is chosen. End-to-end tracking data needs to be available for management purposes, but probably can go down from time to time without significant impact.
