Definitions

unverified METR information (Information Flow): This flow requests the verification of an item of METR information by an independent METR Verification Center.

METR Regulation System (Source Physical Object): The 'METR Regulation System' creates and maintains electronic versions of traffic regulations for eventual consumption by traveler systems and other interested parties. Once approved, each rule is signed and traceable to a specific Rule-Maker. Depending on local policies and division of labor, the METR Regulation Center might need to coordinate with a METR Verification Center, a Maintenance and Construction Management System, and METR Discrepancy Handling Centers.

METR Verification System (Destination Physical Object): The 'METR Verification System' is responsible for providing independent verification of the rules defined by a METR Regulation System. It is represented as a distinct physical object since the verification is intended to be independently performed.

Communication Solutions

METR: Regulation Requirements - Secure Internet (ITS) (14)
(None-Data) - Secure Internet (ITS) (32)
(None-Data) - OASIS MQTT (42)
(None-Data) - OASIS AMQP (45)

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) - Secure Internet (ITS)

Solution Description

This solution is used within Australia, the E.U. and the U.S.. It combines standards associated with (None-Data) with those for I-I: Secure Internet (ITS). The (None-Data) standards include an unspecified set of standards at the upper layers. The I-I: Secure Internet (ITS) standards include lower-layer standards that support secure communications between ITS equipment using X.509 or IEEE 1609.2 security certificates.

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	Moderate	High	Moderate
Basis	May have some PII for internal actors in the METR system, which should not be observed as they could be used as part of phishing or related attacks.	Rules could be used to guide vehicle behavior, and if incorrect could lead to vehicles breaking actual rules with potentially highly damaging consequences.	Updates are probably infrequent so often this flow can be a less than HIGH availability. In cases of high update (e.g., work zones, incidents), it could be HIGH.
