Emergency Vehicle OBE --> ITS Roadway Equipment:
local signal preemption request

Definitions

local signal preemption request (Information Flow): Direct control signal or message to a signalized intersection that results in preemption of the current control plan and grants right-of-way to the requesting vehicle.

Emergency Vehicle OBE (Source Physical Object): The 'Emergency Vehicle On-Board Equipment' (OBE) resides in an emergency vehicle and provides the processing, storage, and communications functions that support public safety-related connected vehicle applications. It represents a range of vehicles including those operated by police, fire, and emergency medical services. In addition, it represents other incident response vehicles including towing and recovery vehicles and freeway service patrols. It includes two-way communications to support coordinated response to emergencies. A separate 'Vehicle OBE' physical object supports the general vehicle safety and driver information capabilities that apply to all vehicles, including emergency vehicles. The Emergency Vehicle OBE supplements these general capabilities with capabilities that are specific to emergency vehicles.

ITS Roadway Equipment (Destination Physical Object): 'ITS Roadway Equipment' represents the ITS equipment that is distributed on and along the roadway that monitors and controls traffic and monitors and manages the roadway. This physical object includes traffic detectors, environmental sensors, traffic signals, highway advisory radios, dynamic message signs, CCTV cameras and video image processing systems, grade crossing warning systems, and ramp metering systems. Lane management systems and barrier systems that control access to transportation infrastructure such as roadways, bridges and tunnels are also included. This object also provides environmental monitoring including sensors that measure road conditions, surface weather, and vehicle emissions. Work zone systems including work zone surveillance, traffic control, driver warning, and work crew safety systems are also included.

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

US: SAE Signal Preemption - LTE-V2X TCP

Solution Description

This solution is used within Canada and the U.S.. It combines standards associated with US: SAE Signal Preemption with those for V-X: LTE-V2X TCP. The US: SAE Signal Preemption standards include upper-layer standards required to implement signal preemption and priority information flows. The V-X: LTE-V2X TCP standards include lower-layer standards that support connection-oriented vehicle-to-any communications using the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) over Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) over C-V2X in the 5.9GHz spectrum.

Basis It does not matter if someone is able to eavesdrop on this request. There will be many other more obvious indicators that the request was made, such as sirens and flashing lights on the emergency vehicle. The system must be able to trust these requests. Emergency Vehicles should be able to send these requests and know that they are being operated on by the receiving system. Additionally, if an unauthorized vehicle is able to send these requests it could bring traffic to a standstill by disrupting signal coordination citywide. The alternative to this request is existing mechanisms – such as using the sirens to stop traffic. The difference between the emergency signal preemption application and existing practice is not significant enough to justify a HIGH availability requirement.
