METR System --> METR Distribution Center:
METR device status

Definitions

METR device status (Information Flow): This flow provides the status of RSE-based distribution systems enabling other METR systems to make appropriate decisions about how to disseminate the rules if one or more localized distribution systems become inoperable.

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).
