METR System --> METR Distribution Center:
METR information

Definitions

METR information (Information Flow): Transport-related regulations, ordinances, statutes, warnings, and advisories that have official status and are legally-binding upon traveling entities (whether human or automated). Each rule is associated with its meaning, associated location(s), and conditional characteristics (e.g., effective times, applicable vehicle classes). This flow supports targeted transfer of rules to end user systems and may be initiated based on a query or pushed in a manner that provides user systems with access to rules that are relevant to their current conditions (e.g., vehicle classification, user classification, location, timeframe). Each rule is associated with an expiration time, after which it is no longer considered fully trustworthy. This flow supports bulk transfer of rules between back-office systems.

METR System (Source Physical Object): The 'METR System' creates and maintains electronic versions of traffic rules, regulations, ordinances and statutes that have official status and must be understood by all motor vehicle operators and intelligent vehicles that operate at higher automation levels. This system represents multiple authorities that operate at local, regional, state, and national levels and represents organizations that establish, manage, and enact the traffic code. Each electronic rule is approved, signed, and traceable to a specific rule-maker. Rules are independently verified. Any identified or reported rule discrepancies are analyzed, investigated, and addressed.

METR Distribution Center (Destination Physical Object): The 'METR Distribution Center' manages the collection and dissemination of rules received from one or more METR Regulation Centers and will verify that, holistically, the collective information is trustworthy for subsequent distribution to METR Users. It will accept and respond to requests for METR information from METR Consumer Systems using the provided request criteria.
The METR Distribution Center can be distinct from the METR Regulation Center because it will frequently need to collect rules from multiple METR Regulation Centers representing various rule-makers with different jurisdictional authority (e.g., traffic agency vs. environmental agency), in different areas (e.g., neighboring jurisdictional areas), and different levels of government (e.g., federal, state, and local). Likewise, there might be different METR Distribution Centers for different purposes (e.g., one that focuses on mainstream vehicles and another for commercial vehicles). The METR Distribution Center may register its availability as a service, and its associated cyber location information, with the Object Registration and Discovery System (ORDS).
