Includes Physical Objects:

Physical Object Class Description
Asset Management System Center 'Asset Management System' represents the systems that support decision-making for maintenance, upgrade, and operation of physical transportation assets. Asset management integrates and includes the pavement management systems, bridge management systems, and other systems that inventory and manage the highway infrastructure and other transportation-related assets. The types of assets that are inventoried and managed will vary, and may include the maintenance and construction vehicles and equipment as well as "soft" assets such as human resources and software. Asset management systems monitor the condition, performance, and availability of the infrastructure and evaluate and prioritize alternative reconstruction, rehabilitation, and maintenance strategies.
Basic Maint and Constr Vehicle Vehicle The 'Basic Maint and Constr Vehicle' represents the maintenance, construction, or other specialized vehicle or equipment that hosts the on-board equipment that provides ITS functionality. It includes the databus, actuators, and other access points that are used by the on-board equipment to monitor and control the host vehicle systems. For example, the interface to this physical object is used to control the operation of the snow plow and monitor the amount of materials (e.g., sand or salt) on-board.
Center Center This general physical object is used to model core capabilities that are common to any center.
Maint and Constr Administrative Systems Center 'Maint and Constr Administrative Systems' represents the various administrative systems that support the operation of ITS systems for maintenance and construction operations. The interfaces to this object support general administrative data interchanges between ITS and non-ITS systems. This includes: interfaces to purchasing for equipment and consumables resupply, interfaces to human resources that manage training and special certification for field crews and other personnel, and interfaces to contract administration functions that administer and monitor the work performance for maintenance and construction contracts.
Maint and Constr Center Personnel Center The people that directly interface with a Maintenance and Construction Management Center. These personnel interact with fleet dispatch and management systems, road maintenance systems, incident management systems, work plan scheduling systems, and work zone management systems. They provide operator data and command inputs to direct system operations to varying degrees depending on the type of system and the deployment scenario.
Maint and Constr Management Center Center The 'Maint and Constr Management Center' monitors and manages roadway infrastructure construction and maintenance activities. Representing both public agencies and private contractors that provide these functions, this physical object manages fleets of maintenance, construction, or special service vehicles (e.g., snow and ice control equipment). The physical object receives a wide range of status information from these vehicles and performs vehicle dispatch, routing, and resource management for the vehicle fleets and associated equipment. The physical object participates in incident response by deploying maintenance and construction resources to an incident scene, in coordination with other center physical objects. The physical object manages equipment at the roadside, including environmental sensors and automated systems that monitor and mitigate adverse road and surface weather conditions. It manages the repair and maintenance of both non-ITS and ITS equipment including the traffic controllers, detectors, dynamic message signs, signals, and other equipment associated with the roadway infrastructure. Weather information is collected and fused with other data sources and used to support advanced decision support systems. The physical object remotely monitors and manages ITS capabilities in work zones, gathering, storing, and disseminating work zone information to other systems. It manages traffic in the vicinity of the work zone and advises drivers of work zone status (either directly at the roadside or through an interface with the Transportation Information Center or Traffic Management Center physical objects.) Construction and maintenance activities are tracked and coordinated with other systems, improving the quality and accuracy of information available regarding closures and other roadway construction and maintenance activities.
Maint and Constr Vehicle OBE Vehicle The 'Maint and Constr Vehicle OBE' resides in a maintenance, construction, or other specialized service vehicle or equipment and provides the processing, storage, and communications functions necessary to support highway maintenance and construction. All types of maintenance and construction vehicles are covered, including heavy equipment, supervisory vehicles, unmanned remote controlled field maintenance robots, and sensory platforms that may be wheeled or low altitude aerial vehicles (e.g. drones, balloons). The MCV OBE provides two-way communications between drivers/operators and dispatchers and maintains and communicates current location and status information. A wide range of operational status is monitored, measured, and made available, depending on the specific type of vehicle or equipment. A snow plow for example, would monitor whether the plow is up or down and material usage information. The Maint and Constr Vehicle OBE may also contain capabilities to monitor vehicle systems to support maintenance of the vehicle itself. A separate 'Vehicle OBE' physical object supports the general vehicle safety and driver information capabilities that apply to all vehicles, including maintenance and construction vehicles. The Maint and Constr Vehicle OBE supplements these general capabilities with capabilities that are specific to maintenance and construction vehicles.
Maint and Constr Vehicle Operator Vehicle The operator of maintenance, construction, or other specialized service vehicles or equipment. Represents the maintenance and construction vehicle operators. The operator provides input specific to maintenance and construction vehicle operations, including the status of maintenance actions. Information provided to the operator includes dispatch requests and maintenance and construction actions to be performed.
Storage Facility Data Acquisition System Center 'Storage Facility Data Acquisition System' represents systems that monitor and report the current status of facilities that provide storage and forward staging for equipment and materials used in maintenance and construction operations. It provides status information on the types and quantities of materials and equipment that are available at the facility.
Surface Transportation Weather Service Center The 'Surface Transportation Weather Service' represents the providers of value-added sector-specific meteorological services. These providers utilize National Weather Service data and predictions, road condition information and local environmental data provided by traffic management or maintenance organizations, and their own models to provide surface transportation related weather observations and forecasts including pavement temperature and conditions.
Weather Service System Center The 'Weather Service System' provides weather, hydrologic, and climate information and warnings of hazardous weather including thunderstorms, flooding, hurricanes, tornadoes, winter weather, tsunamis, and climate events. It provides atmospheric weather observations and forecasts that are collected and derived by the National Weather Service, private sector providers, and various research organizations. The interface provides formatted weather data products suitable for on-line processing and integration with other ITS data products as well as Doppler radar images, satellite images, severe storm warnings, and other products that are formatted for presentation to various ITS users.

While time reference should be universally available, time reference coupled with vehicle location is tracking data. This flow is internal to a vehicle, but should probably be encrypted to discourage hacking and snooping on the vehicle bus. Thus MODERATE. Location and time data is the basis for crash imminent safety and a host of other applications. Corruption of this flow could lead directly to a vehicle accident. If this information is not available, crash imminent safety applications depending on this information will not function properly.

Unlikely that this includes any information that could be used against the originator. Status information should be correct, but modification will cause only minor inconvenience. Since this monitors the health and safety of the vehicle and that information is eventually reported to the driver and fleet manager, it should be available at all times as it directly affects vehicle and operator safety.
Center Maint and Constr Management Center equipment maintenance request Moderate Moderate Moderate
Device operational status information should be known only by those entities that need to know for operations and maintenance. Allowing others to read this information may enable abuse of those systems, 3rd party monitoring of system status when that may not be desireable, and reverse engineering of this and similar information flows. If this data is incorrect or unavailable then maintenance assets may not be appropriately assigned, resulting in inefficient use of maintenance assets and higher overall downtime.

Contract performance, work performance information reflects directly on the workers, and should be available only to the parties directly involved. Hostile observers might use this information against any of the parties, either in competitive efforts or publicly. Incorrect or unavailable data will make it difficult to evaluate maintenance and construction team performance, which makes it difficult to manage those efforts, costing the road manager signficant time and money.

Direct interactions between personnel and systems in a backoffice environment are effectively protected by physical means, so long as the interaction is in a dedicated facility. If this interaction is virtual (i.e. ,the MCMC is not directly in front of the MCMC Personnel, like in a cloud-based system) then the user's input requires some degree of obfuscation depending on sensitivity of information. Given that this could include information about compromised or ineffectual systems, including security systems, the potential for damage is high. Thus, HIGH. Backoffice operations flows should generally be correct and available as these are the primary interface between operators and system.

Maint and Constr Management Center Asset Management System asset status update Moderate Moderate Low
Linked to the asset inventory, so the same concerns with this flow as that one, namely that when placed in one spot becomes a "one stop shop" for a nefarious person looking for infrastructure targets. Given the narrow focus of this flow it might be LOW, except that it infers information about specific targets. Infrastructure information should be correct or maintenance assets may be inappropriately assigned. While this changes more than other asset flows, the impact should still be minimal.
Maint and Constr Management Center Center equipment maintenance status Moderate Moderate Moderate
Data is not overly sensitive, but is a bulk statement about the status of all field equipment managed by the maintenance center. A hostile actor could use this information in the commission of a crime, for instance by understanding which cameras were not working and thus what areas are not under surveillance. Center-based data exchanges are expected to be correct, and deserving of at leas some error checking. If this data is corrupted, the receiving center will be misinformed as to the state of field equipment maintenance. Depends on the update frequency required. Possibly LOW, depending on the amount of equipment and what this flow is used for at the terminus.
Maint and Constr Management Center Center special vehicle restricted use information Moderate Moderate Moderate
Contents of this flow enable specialized or elevated use of transportation facilities, which if copied could enable misuse of transportation assets. Incorrect data or unvailability will hamper legitimate maintenance, incident management and emergency use, which can have a significant effect. However, alternative means to allow those behaviors should already exist, at least for well marked emergency and safety vehicles, thus MODERATE and not HIGH.

System maintenance flows should have some protection from casual viewing, as otherwise imposters could gain illicit control over field equipment Information presented to backoffice system operators must be consistent or the operator may perform actions that are not appropriate to the real situation. The backoffice system operator should have access to system operation. If this interface is down then control is effectively lost, as without feedback from the system the operator has no way of knowing what is the correct action to take.

System maintenance flows are the primary interface between field personnel and field equipment, and must present accurate data or inappropriate maintenance actions may be taken.

Observation of control or status information is unlikely to have any value to a third party; actions of field personnel should be observable anyway. Any driver/operator interaction with vehicle systems needs some assurance of correctness; corruption of this information could lead to unexpected vehicle behavior which poses a limited safety risk. Without direct local control of vehicle systems the vehicle is essentially uncontrolled.
Storage Facility Data Acquisition System Maint and Constr Management Center equipment availability Moderate Moderate Low
Facility readiness, equipment readiness information can be deemed sensitive, as a hostile actor or criminal may want this information to enhance their ability to inflict damage. This information needs to be timely and accurate in order for construction and maintenance activities to meet their needs. This information needs to be timely and accurate in order for construction and maintenance activities to meet their needs. Typically won't change very rapidly, thus LOW availability.

Seemingly innocent, but as with most C2C flows there is little legitimate reason to make this observable; if this information was intended for more acecss, it would explicitly be provided to a wider audience. If this information is incorrect, the M&C Management Center may have an innacurate understanding of its materials supply status, complicating and/or jeopardizing effective road improvement and treatment operations. Depending on update frequency, may be LOW.
Surface Transportation Weather Service Maint and Constr Management Center transportation weather information Low Moderate Moderate
Typically intended for public distribution. While there are many sources of weather information, some guarantee of correctness is justifiable to keep confidence in provided service. In areas with severe weather it may be justifiable to raise this to HIGH. There should be other sources of this data. It does need to be reliable however; weather can change quickly, and depending on the destination and its operational strategies, timely response may be important. In areas with severe weather it may be justifiable to raise this to HIGH.
Weather Service System Maint and Constr Management Center weather information Low Moderate Moderate
Typically intended for public distribution. While there are many sources of weather information, some guarantee of correctness is justifiable to keep confidence in provided service. Even for areas with significant weather events that drive maintenance activities, it would be difficult to justify HIGH for this flow. While the repurcussions of inaccurate data may be significant, they are probably not catastrophic. M&MC relies on weather data for planning and decision making, so this flow needs to be reliable. In areas with flash-weather issues, this might be HIGH.
