Architecture Flow Definitions

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 traveler information  (Existing)  Applicable ITS Standards

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.

weather information  (Existing)  Applicable ITS Standards

Accumulated forecasted and current weather data (e.g., temperature, pressure, wind speed, wind direction, humidity, precipitation, visibility, light conditions, etc.).
