ITS Roadway Equipment --> Traffic Management Center:
mixed use safety warning status

Definitions

mixed use safety warning status (Information Flow): Current operational status and state of pedestrian crossings and other mixed use path crossing warning systems.

ITS Roadway Equipment (Source 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.

Traffic Management Center (Destination Physical Object): The 'Traffic Management Center' monitors and controls traffic and the road network. It represents centers that manage a broad range of transportation facilities including freeway systems, rural and suburban highway systems, and urban and suburban traffic control systems. It communicates with ITS Roadway Equipment and Connected Vehicle Roadside Equipment (RSE) to monitor and manage traffic flow and monitor the condition of the roadway, surrounding environmental conditions, and field equipment status. It manages traffic and transportation resources to support allied agencies in responding to, and recovering from, incidents ranging from minor traffic incidents through major disasters.

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: NTCIP Traffic Signal - SNMPv1

Solution Description

This solution is used within Canada and the U.S.. It combines standards associated with US: NTCIP Traffic Signal with those for I-F: SNMPv1. The US: NTCIP Traffic Signal standards include upper-layer standards required to implement center-to-field traffic signal communications. The I-F: SNMPv1 standards include lower-layer standards that define how SNMPv1, which does not provide any security, is used within some deployments within the ITS industry. This solution is no longer recommended due to known security vulnerabilities.

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
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 Low Moderate Low
Basis Unless otherwise determined by the supplier (for example, because this flow contains proprietary or security-sensitive information about the device). If this is compromised, the TMC might for example send maintenance teams to fix a traffic signal that isn't broken, incurring unnecessary expense. A delay in reporting the state of the ITS RE may lead to a delay in providing necessary maintenance, but (a) this is not time-critical and (b) there are other channels for reporting malfunctioning ITS REs.
