Definitions
traffic-related regulations (Information Flow): Traffic rules, regulations, ordinances and statutes that have official status and must be understood by all motor vehicle operators and intelligent vehicles that operate at higher automation levels. The flow includes the regulations and the associated locations, effective date and time periods, and applicable vehicle classes. This flow supports bulk transfer of regulations, rules, statutes, and related attributes between back office systems.
Other Transportation Information Centers (Source Physical Object): Representing another Transportation Information Center, this object is intended to provide a source and destination for ITS information flows between peer information and service provider functions. It enables cooperative information sharing between providers as conditions warrant.
Transportation Information Center (Destination 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.

Interoperability | Description |
---|---|
Regional | Interoperability throughout the geopolitical region is highly desirable, but if implemented differently in different transportation management jurisdictions, significant benefits will still accrue in each jurisdiction. Regardless, this Information Flow Triple should be implemented consistently within a transportation jurisdiction (i.e., the scope of a regional architecture). |

Confidentiality | Integrity | Availability | ||
Rating | Low | High | Moderate | |
Basis | Regulations should be publicly accessible, so observation of this flow gains no information that could not be obtained legitimately. | Regulations may be used to guide operations, particularly for automated vehicles. As such, inaccurate regulations imply the vehicle operator (human or otherwise) may inadvertently violate regulations, possibly endangering the safety of others expecting the operator or vehicle to follow the rules of the road. | Regulations will be used to guide the operator, which may be an autonomous vehicle. As such the regulations need to be kept up to date to avoid conflict with regulations, penalties or of course safety of life. Availability is not considered HIGH as it is unlikely that such regulations that affect safety would change very often. In environments where it is envisioned that safety-impacting regulations change quickly, HIGH would be justified. |
