Transportation Information Center --> Personal Information Device:
broadcast traveler information

Definitions

broadcast traveler information (Information Flow): General traveler information that contains traffic and road conditions, link travel times, incidents, advisories, restrictions, vehicle requirements, work zones, transit service information, weather information, parking information, and other related traveler information.

Transportation Information Center (Source Physical Object): The 'Transportation Information Center' collects, processes, stores, and disseminates transportation information to system operators and the traveling public. The physical object can play several different roles in an integrated ITS. In one role, the TIC provides a data collection, fusing, and repackaging function, collecting information from transportation system operators and redistributing this information to other system operators in the region and other TICs. In this information redistribution role, the TIC provides a bridge between the various transportation systems that produce the information and the other TICs and their subscribers that use the information. The second role of a TIC is focused on delivery of traveler information to subscribers and the public at large. Information provided includes basic advisories, traffic and road conditions, transit schedule information, yellow pages information, ride matching information, and parking information. The TIC is commonly implemented as a website or a web-based application service, but it represents any traveler information distribution service.

Personal Information Device (Destination Physical Object): The 'Personal Information Device' provides the capability for travelers to receive formatted traveler information wherever they are. Capabilities include traveler information, trip planning, and route guidance. Frequently a smart phone, the Personal Information Device provides travelers with the capability to receive route planning and other personally focused transportation services from the infrastructure in the field, at home, at work, or while en-route. Personal Information Devices may operate independently or may be linked with vehicle on-board equipment. This subsystem also supports safety related services with the capability to broadcast safety messages and initiate a distress signal or request for help.

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

TMC - Wide Area Broadcast

Solution Description

This solution is used within Australia, the E.U. and the U.S.. It combines standards associated with TMC with those for C-X: Wide Area Broadcast. The TMC standards include upper-layer standards required to support multi-modal information services to the vehicle.. The C-X: Wide Area Broadcast standards include lower-layer standards that support one entity broadcasting information to all wireless devices over an area that covers at least a metropolitan area without any expectation of acknowledgement or response; security is provided by the upper-layers.

Basis By definition this is publicly broadcast data. The distribution of this data is intended to be very large, as such the impact of corrupted data will be significant. Probably not HIGH, as there are other distribution channels for this data. There are multiple channels for the delivery of this information, so if this one is not available, others will work.
