Definitions

field equipment software install/upgrade (Information Flow): This flow supports installation and update of software residing in ITS roadway equipment. It supports download of the software installation files, including executable code and associated support files.

Center (Source Physical Object): This general physical object is used to model core capabilities that are common to any center.

Field (Destination Physical Object): This general physical object is used to model core capabilities that are common to any piece of field equipment.

Selected Solution

Data for Distribution (TBD) - OMG DDS

Solution Description

This solution is used within Canada and the U.S.. It combines standards associated with Data for Distribution (TBD) with those for OMG DDS. The Data for Distribution (TBD) standards include a placeholder for upper-layer standards necessary to define the data (elements and structures) necessary to complete a solution for the information flow based on data distribution technologies. The data standard will need to include a specific customization for the desired data distribution technology used (e.g., Kafka, DDS, etc.).. The OMG DDS standards include lower-layer standards that support secure data sharing and command operations between remote devices.

Interoperability	Description
Local	In cases where an interface is normally encapsulated by a single stakeholder, interoperability is still desirable, but the motive is vendor independence and the efficiencies and choices that an open standards-based interface provides.

Security

Information Flow Security
	Confidentiality	Integrity	Availability
Rating	Moderate	High	Moderate
Basis	Field equipment software could be sensitive, both from a vulnerability assessment standpoint and because the software itself may be competition-sensitive.	Software updates to Roadway Equipment must be authenticated as having come from a source entitled to provide that software, or roadway equipment may be comprimised. Similarly, such software must be guaranteed to being the intent of the originator; not manipulated midstream or corrupted, or the roadway equipment may be mis-configured or compromised.	The ability to remotely update and configure devices is inherent to their successful operation. If this link is down it either suggests or will prompt field maintenance activity, which has a non-trivial cost and resource impact.
