Architecture Flow Definitions
alert notification (Existing) Applicable ITS Standards
Notification of a major emergency such as a natural or man–made disaster, civil emergency, or child abduction for distribution to the public. The flow identifies the alert originator, the nature of the emergency, the geographic area affected by the emergency, the effective time period, and information and instructions necessary for the public to respond to the alert. This flow may also identify specific information that should not be released to the public.
alert status (Existing) Applicable ITS Standards
Information indicating the current status of the emergency alert including identification of the traveler and driver information systems that are being used to provide the alert.
alternate mode information (Existing)
Schedule information for alternate mode transportation providers such as air, ferry, and passenger–carrying heavy rail.
archive requests (Existing) Applicable ITS Standards
A request to a data source for information on available data (i.e., "catalog") or a request that defines the data to be archived. The request can be a general subscription intended to initiate a continuous or regular data stream or a specific request intended to initiate a one–time response from the recipient.
archive status (Existing) Applicable ITS Standards
Notification that data provided to an archive contains erroneous, missing, or suspicious data or verification that the data provided appears valid. If an error has been detected, the offending data and the nature of the potential problem are identified.
center archive data (Existing) Applicable ITS Standards
Information describing center operations and measures that reflect the impact of these operations on the transportation system. Content may include a catalog of available information, the actual information to be archived, and associated meta data that describes the archived information.
data provision (Existing) Applicable ITS Standards
Data provision provides the source material for a publish–subscribe or query–retrieval data distribution scheme. This is the 1 of the 1:N data distribution architecture. This flow is a super–flow; it does not define data elements but is inclusive of any flow implemented using publish–subscribe or query–retrieval methods.
data publication (Existing) Applicable ITS Standards
Data publication includes those dialogs necessary to satisfy the publication portion of a data distribution architecture. The information content varies widely based on available content and the subscription, but it generally includes information on the state of transportation system operations including traffic and road conditions, advisories, incidents, transit service information, weather information, parking information, and other related data.
data query (Existing) Applicable ITS Standards
Data query includes those dialogs necessary to determine what data is available for and also submit a query for near–term response.
data query publication (Existing) Applicable ITS Standards
Data query publication includes those dialogs necessary to satisfy the response portion of a query–response action using the data distribution architecture. The information content varies widely based on available content and the query, but it generally includes information on the state of transportation system operations including traffic and road conditions, advisories, incidents, transit service information, weather information, parking information, and other related data.
data subscription (Existing) Applicable ITS Standards
Data subscription includes those dialogs necessary to determine what data is available for subscription/query, and also the dialogs necessary to create or modify data subscriptions/queries.
emergency archive data (Existing) Applicable ITS Standards
Logged emergency information including information that characterizes identified incidents (routine highway incidents through disasters), corresponding incident response information, evacuation information, surveillance data, threat data, and resource information. Content may include a catalog of available information, the actual information to be archived, and associated meta data that describes the archived information.
emergency traveler information (Existing)
Public notification of an emergency such as a natural or man–made disaster, civil emergency, or child abduction. This flow also includes evacuation information including evacuation instructions, evacuation zones, recommended evacuation times, tailored evacuation routes and destinations, traffic and road conditions along the evacuation routes, traveler services and shelter information, and reentry times and instructions.
evacuation information (Existing) Applicable ITS Standards
Evacuation instructions and information including evacuation zones, evacuation times, and reentry times.
incident information for public (Existing) Applicable ITS Standards
Report of current desensitized incident information prepared for public dissemination.
parking information (Existing)
General parking information and status, including current parking availability.
regional situation data (Existing) Applicable ITS Standards
This general flow represents the traffic, environmental, and emissions situation data that is collected from connected vehicles and aggregated, filtered, and distributed to other centers as a regional information product for use in operations, performance monitoring, and analysis.
road network conditions (Existing)
Current and forecasted traffic information, road and weather conditions, and other road network status. Either raw data, processed data, or some combination of both may be provided by this flow. Information on diversions and alternate routes, closures, and special traffic restrictions (lane/shoulder use, weight restrictions, width restrictions, HOV requirements) in effect is included.
traffic images (Existing)
High fidelity, real–time traffic images suitable for surveillance monitoring by the operator or for use in machine vision applications. This flow includes the images and meta data that describes the images.
transit service information (Existing)
Transit service information including routes, schedules, and fare information as well as dynamic transit schedule adherence and transit vehicle location information.
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.
traveler archive data (Existing) Applicable ITS Standards
Data associated with traveler information services including service requests, facility usage, rideshare, routing, and traveler payment transaction data. Content may include a catalog of available information, the actual information to be archived, and associated meta data that describes the archived information.
