Architecture Flow Definitions

commercial vehicle incident notification  (Existing)  Applicable ITS Standards

Information about a Commercial Vehicle or Freight Equipment breach, non–permitted security sensitive hazmat detected at the roadside, route deviation, or Commercial Vehicle Driver / Commercial Vehicle / Freight Equipment assignment mismatches which includes the location of the Commercial Vehicle and appropriate identities.

commercial vehicle incident response information  (Existing)  Applicable ITS Standards

This flow provides data containing an acknowledgement of the commercial vehicle incident notification and provides post–incident instructions.

commercial vehicle trip information  (Planned)  Applicable ITS Standards

Information about vehicle trips including load information, location, speed, and routing. The information would be sanitized for distribution outside of the commercial vehicle company.

disable commercial vehicle  (Existing)  Applicable ITS Standards

A request that a specific commercial vehicle should be safely disabled.

emergency plan coordination  (Existing)  Applicable ITS Standards

Information that supports coordination of emergency management plans, continuity of operations plans, emergency response and recovery plans, evacuation plans, and other emergency plans between agencies. This includes general plans that are coordinated prior to an incident and shorter duration tactical plans that are prepared during an incident.

freight traveler information preferences  (Planned)  Applicable ITS Standards

Traveler information preferences from fleet and freight management systems or commercial vehicle drivers including: area covered by fleet/driver, types of freight managed (including special restrictions), preferred routes, other travel preferences pertaining to trip costs or tolls.

freight-specific traveler information  (Planned)  Applicable ITS Standards

Traveler information customized for freight users to indicate truck routes, permit information, truck stops, inspection stations, steep grades, high–profile vehicle advisories, etc. Information provided includes freight–related road and weather conditions, parking information, and route plans.

hazmat information  (Planned)  Applicable ITS Standards

Information about a particular hazmat load including nature of the load and unloading instructions. May also include hazmat vehicle route and route update information.

hazmat information request  (Planned)  Applicable ITS Standards

Request for information about a particular hazmat load.

incident information  (Existing)  Applicable ITS Standards

Notification of existence of incident and expected severity, location, time and nature of incident. As additional information is gathered and the incident evolves, updated incident information is provided. Incidents include any event that impacts transportation system operation ranging from routine incidents (e.g., disabled vehicle at the side of the road) through large–scale natural or human–caused disasters that involve loss of life, injuries, extensive property damage, and multi–jurisdictional response. This also includes special events, closures, and other planned events that may impact the transportation system.

incident information for public  (Existing)  Applicable ITS Standards

Report of current desensitized incident information prepared for public dissemination.

incident response status  (Existing)  Applicable ITS Standards

Status of the current incident response including a summary of incident status and its impact on the transportation system, traffic management strategies implemented at the site (e.g., closures, diversions, traffic signal control overrides), and current and planned response activities.

rail system status assessment  (Existing)  Applicable ITS Standards

Assessment of damage sustained by rail lines and associated railroad infrastructure including location and extent of the damage, impact on current operations and necessary restrictions, and time frame for repair and recovery.

railroad advisories  (Existing)  Applicable ITS Standards

Real–time notification of railway–related incident or advisory.

railroad schedules  (Existing)  Applicable ITS Standards

Train schedules, maintenance schedules, and other information from the railroad that supports forecast of HRI closures.

transportation system status  (Existing)  Applicable ITS Standards

Current status and condition of transportation infrastructure (e.g., tunnels, bridges, interchanges, TMC offices, maintenance facilities). In case of disaster or major incident, this flow provides an assessment of damage sustained by the surface transportation system including location and extent of the damage, estimate of remaining capacity and necessary restrictions, and time frame for repair and recovery.
