Link Type: Network Time Protocol

Service Monitor System --> ITS Roadway Equipment:
time local form

Definitions

time local form (Information Flow): Time local form includes UTC time synchronized with the external source in a format usable by connected vehicle center functions.

Service Monitor System (Source Physical Object): The 'Service Monitor System' represents one or more center-based systems that provide monitoring, management and control services necessary to other applications and/or devices operating within the Connected Vehicle Environment. These support services enable other applications to provide transportation services.

ITS Roadway Equipment (Destination 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.

Communication Solutions

  • NTP - UDP/IP (3)
Solutions are sorted in ascending Gap Severity order. The Gap Severity is the parenthetical number at the end of the solution.

Selected Solution

NTP - UDP/IP

Solution Description

This solution is used within Australia, Canada, the E.U. and the U.S.. It combines standards associated with NTP with those for I-I: UDP/IP. The NTP standards include standards required to reliably set time information in a subsystem. The I-I: UDP/IP standards include lower-layer standards that support the Network Time Protocol that allows NTP servers to provide time synchronization services to other NTP servers and clients.

Rating Not Applicable High Moderate
Basis Time reference is intended to be univerally available. Time must be highly coordinated for some applications. This support function must meet the highest requirement. Time coordination must always be in place, but local mechanisms for tracking time should suffice to avoid catastrophic failures for known use cases, thus MODERATE.
