Non-METR Distribution Center --> METR Regulation System:
system-generated discrepancy report

Definitions

system-generated discrepancy report (Information Flow): METR Regulation Centers can learn of discrepancies from METR Distribution Centers or other regulation centers that identify conflicts during their rule verification processes. The system-generated discrepancy report identifies the specific elements of METR information that caused the verification error, including the METR information identifier and the specific issue that caused the problem.

Non-METR Distribution Center (Source Physical Object): A 'Non-METR Distribution Center' will accept METR information and will disseminate the received information to its users using a non-conformant interface.

METR Regulation System (Destination 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.

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

METR: Regulation Requirements - Secure Internet (ITS)

Solution Description

This solution is used within Canada, the E.U. and the U.S.. It combines standards associated with METR: Regulation Requirements with those for I-I: Secure Internet (ITS). The METR: Regulation Requirements standards include upper-layer standards required to exchange traffic regulations with a regulatory center. 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).

Basis Discrepancy-handling flows may contain a significant amount of discrepancy reporting information, which could imply behavior in the field, actions of rules-agents and other activities that could be leveraged by bad actors. Information contained in this flow will be used to assess the accuracy of existing rules; this will require some process that strips out incorrect reports, but the number of incorrect reports should be minimized to reduce undue processing. Backoffice discrepancy handling flows should be basically reliable, else the discrepancy handling system will have difficulty functioning, which in turn could lead to negative safety or other impacts in the field.
