Other METR Systems --> METR System:
discrepancy suppression information

This triple is bi-directional. See also METR System --> Other METR Systems: discrepancy suppression information

Definitions

discrepancy suppression information (Information Flow): Once a METR Regulation Center has been alerted to a discrepancy, it may wish to suppress further notices in one of two ways. If it still wants vehicles to gather data but for that data not to be submitted except on request, it can use discrepancy suppression info flow to prevent METR Discrepancy Handling Centers from issuing consolidated discrepancy reports (but the newly gathered information is still available through the detailed flow). Alternatively, the METR Regulation Center can revise the associated rule meta-data to inform vehicles that a discrepancy with the rule is already known and that discrepancy reports should not be provided for the rule. This mechanism uses the centralized and localized rule distribution services. Furthermore, the METR Regulation Center may wish to inform other METR Discrepancy Handling Centers to correspondingly suppress further notices of those suppressed discrepancies.

Other METR Systems (Source Physical Object): The 'Other METR System' represents...

METR System (Destination 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.

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: Discrepancy Reporting Requirements - OASIS AMQP

Solution Description

This solution is used within the E.U. and the U.S.. It combines standards associated with METR: Discrepancy Reporting Requirements with those for OASIS AMQP. The METR: Discrepancy Reporting Requirements standards include upper-layer standards required to exchange traffic regulation discrepancies with a discrepancy handling center. The OASIS AMQP standards include lower-layer standards that support data distribution of specific types of data.

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.
