Includes Physical Objects:

Physical Object Class Description
Border and Port Administration Center Center 'Border and Port Administration Center' represents back-office systems and databases run by domestic and foreign governmental agencies responsible for the regulation of trade, and the enforcement of customs and immigration laws. These agencies include U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its counterparts in Canada and Mexico. DHS includes components like Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Other agencies include the Maritime Adiministration, Coast Guard, and Port Authorities for ports and secondary trade agencies (e.g., U.S. Food and Drug Administration, U.S. Department of Agriculture, other USDOT departments, etc.), and agencies from other trading nations. The systems they manage coordinate activities related to land border crossings and ports. These systems support import/export cargo processing and enforcement operations at the port of entry, including programs such as FAST, Automated Commercial Environment (ACE), Nexus (Canada), SENTRI (Mexico), and US-VISIT.
Border Inspection System Field 'Border Inspection System' represents data systems used at the border for the inspection of people or goods. It supports immigration, customs (trade), agricultural, and FDA inspections as applicable. It includes sensors and surveillance systems to identify and classify drivers and their cargo as they approach a border crossing, the systems used to interface with the back-office administration systems and provide information on status of the crossing or events.
Connected Vehicle Roadside Equipment Field 'Connected Vehicle Roadside Equipment' (CV RSE) represents the Connected Vehicle roadside devices (i.e., Roadside Units (RSUs)) equipped with short range wireless (SRW) communications technology, as well as any other supporting equipment that leverage the RSU and are not described by other objects (e.g., a local roadside processor). CVRSE are used to send messages to, and receive messages from, nearby vehicles and personal devices equipped with compatible communications technology. Communications with adjacent field equipment and back office centers that monitor and control the RSE are also supported. This device operates from a fixed position and may be permanently deployed or a portable device that is located temporarily in the vicinity of a traffic incident, road construction, or a special event. It includes a processor, data storage, and communications capabilities that support secure communications with passing vehicles, other field equipment, and centers.
Light Vehicle Driver Vehicle The 'Light Vehicle Driver' represents the person that operates a light vehicle on the roadway. This physical object covers the interactions that are specific to light, passenger vehicles. See also the 'Driver' physical object that covers interactions that are shared by operators of light, transit, commercial, and emergency vehicles where the interactions are not particular to the type of vehicle.
Light Vehicle OBE Vehicle The 'Light Vehicle OBE' includes traveler-oriented capabilities that apply to passenger cars, trucks, and motorcycles that are used for personal travel. The rules vary by jurisdiction, but generally light vehicles are restricted in their weight and the maximum number of passengers they can carry. In ARC-IT, the Light Vehicle OBE represents vehicles that are operated as personal vehicles that are not part of a vehicle fleet and are not used commercially; thus, the choice between the various vehicle subsystems should be based more on how the vehicle is used than how much the vehicle weighs. See also the 'Vehicle' subsystem that includes the general safety and information services that apply to all types of vehicles, including light vehicles.
Personal Information Device Personal 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.
Traffic Management Center Center The 'Traffic Management Center' monitors and controls traffic and the road network. It represents centers that manage a broad range of transportation facilities including freeway systems, rural and suburban highway systems, and urban and suburban traffic control systems. It communicates with ITS Roadway Equipment and Connected Vehicle Roadside Equipment (RSE) to monitor and manage traffic flow and monitor the condition of the roadway, surrounding environmental conditions, and field equipment status. It manages traffic and transportation resources to support allied agencies in responding to, and recovering from, incidents ranging from minor traffic incidents through major disasters.
Transportation Information Center Center 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.
Traveler Card Personal The 'Traveler Card' stores traveler identification information, including biometric information, that can be used in trusted traveler programs to expedite clearance through security checkpoints at borders or security-critical areas.

Includes Functional Objects:

Functional Object Description Physical Object
Border Inspection 'Border Inspection' manages and supports primary and secondary inspections at the border crossing. Border Inspection System
Border Inspection Administration 'Border Inspection Administration' performs administrative functions relating to the inspection of goods and vehicles at the border. Border and Port Administration Center
Light Vehicle Border Crossing Support 'Vehicle Border Crossing Support' uses connected vehicle technology to exchange traveler credentials with border systems to support expedited clearance through international borders. Light Vehicle OBE
Personal Trip Planning and Route Guidance 'Personal Trip Planning and Route Guidance' provides a personalized trip plan to the traveler. The trip plan is calculated based on preferences and constraints supplied by the traveler and provided to the traveler for confirmation. Coordination may continue during the trip so that the route plan can be modified to account for new information. Many equipment configurations are possible including systems that provide a basic trip plan to the traveler as well as more sophisticated systems that can provide transition by transition guidance to the traveler along a multi-modal route with transfers. Devices represented by this functional object include desktop computers at home, work, or at major trip generation sites, plus personal devices such as tablets and smart phones. Personal Information Device
RSE Border Management 'RSE Border Management' supports border operations, providing functions that measure border wait times and provide wait times and other traveler information to approaching vehicles. Short range communications with vehicles and associated equipment supports collection of traveler, vehicle, and cargo information and credentials. Connected Vehicle Roadside Equipment
RSE Traveler Information Communications 'RSE Traveler Information Communications' includes field elements that distribute information to vehicles for in-vehicle display. The information may be provided by a center (e.g., variable information on traffic and road conditions in the vicinity of the field equipment) or it may be determined and output locally (e.g., static sign information and signal phase and timing information). This includes the interface to the center or field equipment that controls the information distribution and the short range communications equipment that provides information to passing vehicles. Connected Vehicle Roadside Equipment
TIC Data Collection 'TIC Data Collection' collects transportation-related data from other centers, performs data quality checks on the collected data and then consolidates, verifies, and refines the data and makes it available in a consistent format to applications that support operational data sharing between centers and deliver traveler information to end-users. A broad range of data is collected including traffic and road conditions, transit data, pathway information, emergency information and advisories, weather data, special event information, traveler services, parking, multimodal data, and toll/pricing data. It also shares data with other transportation information centers. Transportation Information Center
TMC Basic Surveillance 'TMC Basic Surveillance' remotely monitors and controls traffic sensor systems and surveillance (e.g., CCTV) equipment, and collects, processes and stores the collected traffic data. Current traffic information and other real-time transportation information is also collected from other centers. The collected information is provided to traffic operations personnel and made available to other centers. Traffic Management Center
Vehicle Basic Safety Communication 'Vehicle Basic Safety Communication' exchanges current vehicle characteristics, location, and motion (including past and intended maneuver) information with other vehicles in the vicinity and the infrastructure, uses that information to calculate vehicle paths, and warns the driver when the potential for an impending collision is detected. If available, map data is used to filter and interpret the relative location and motion of vehicles in the vicinity. Information from on-board sensors (e.g., radars and image processing) are also used, if available, in combination with the V2V communications to detect non-equipped vehicles and corroborate connected vehicle data. This object represents a broad range of implementations ranging from basic Vehicle Awareness Devices that only broadcast vehicle location and motion and provide no driver warnings to advanced integrated safety systems that coordinate maneuvers and may, in addition to warning the driver, provide collision warning information to support automated control functions that can support control intervention. This object can also support broadcasting other vehicle information required for passing through a specific roadway segment such as variables that describe vehicle's characteristics and parameters, driver's preferences in terms of vehicle motion and behavior, etc. Vehicle
Vehicle Traveler Information Reception 'Vehicle Traveler Information Reception' receives advisories, vehicle signage data, and other driver information of use to all types of vehicles and drivers and presents this information to the driver using in-vehicle equipment. Information presented may include fixed sign information, traffic control device status (e.g., signal phase and timing data), advisory and detour information, warnings of adverse road and weather conditions, travel times, and other driver information. Vehicle

Information Flow Security
Source Destination Information Flow Confidentiality Integrity Availability
Basis Basis Basis
Border and Port Administration Center Border Inspection System traveler personal information Moderate High Moderate
This flow includes PII of travelers. If it also includes the necessary challenge questions and response to impersonate that individual, it could be classified as a HIGH. False data here could allow someone to impersonate someone else. This may lead to an unauthorized person entering the country. The system must have an acknowledgement of a missed message. If this data is not received, the traveler will have to identify themselves through the traditional methods, such as a passport.
Border and Port Administration Center Personal Information Device expedited traveler registration status Moderate Moderate Moderate

Border Inspection System Border and Port Administration Center border security input Moderate Moderate Low
Since this is describing events that already occurred it is possible that someone could observe these by sitting at the border and watching. However some things in this may be slightly sensitive in nature and should not be completely visible to anyone. If this flow could carry instructions to be acted on at a later point (e.g. “Suspicious traveler, pull over down the road and investigate”), this could potentially be HIGH because it is potentially national security related information; however, it is not clear from the CVRIA description whether or not this will be the case. This information could affect how the BIAC responds to a request on a person in the future. As such this information should be relatively secure; however mistakes in the information do not have a major impact on anything. This information requires an acknowledgment of receipt, but if a message is missed it could be sent again at a later time without any impact on the rest of the system.
Border Inspection System Connected Vehicle Roadside Equipment vehicle signage local data Low Moderate Moderate
This data is intentionally transmitted to everyone via a broadcast. It is meant to augment other signage data, and by definition is meant to be shared with everyone. These signs are meant to augment other visual cues to the driver. They should be accurate, but any inaccuracies should be corrected for by other means. These notifications are helpful to a driver, but if the driver does not receive this notification immediately, there should still be other visual cues.
Border Inspection System Light Vehicle OBE traveler border clearance status Low High Moderate
This is directly observable data. This message is directly acted upon. It should not be possible to spoof a border inspection station bypass. The system should know if these messages are not received. If the messages are not received, the system should fail safely, with the border agents performing additional inspections.
Border Inspection System Traffic Management Center border wait times data Not Applicable Moderate Low
This is directly observable data. Some minimal guarantee of data integrity is necessary for all C-ITS flows. If this information is used to determine how thoroughly to investigate passing vehicles (ie. When it is busy vehicles are subject to less thorough inspection) this flow could be bumped up to a MEDIUM. DISC: Original V2I analysis classified this as LOW. If this information is not fully up to date, or is missing, the system can still operate properly.
Border Inspection System Transportation Information Center border crossing status information Low Moderate Low
This is all public information which is mostly available through public information channels. Some minimal guarantee of data integrity is necessary for all C-ITS flows. A flaw in this information will not cause much, if any harm. A higher integrity will allow this information to be of more use, but is not required for security reasons. DISC: Original V2I analysis classified this as LOW. Without this information there will not be any direct problem. A higher availability will allow this information to be more useful; however it is not a requirement.

Light Vehicle Driver Light Vehicle OBE light vehicle driver input Moderate High High
Data included in this flow may include origin and destination information, which should be protected from other's viewing as it may compromise the driver's privacy. Commands from from the driver to the vehicle must be correct or the vehicle may behave in an unpredictable and possibly unsafe manner Commands must always be able to be given or the driver has no control.
Light Vehicle OBE Border Inspection System traveler credentials High Moderate Moderate
This contains sensitive information on multiple individuals that could potentially be used to impersonate them or steal their identity. If anyone other than the intended parties can view this information it could lead to a large financial cost for many individuals. The identity reported by this transmission might not actually be the individual in the vehicle. If a border officer can add information that gets sent to the BIS, then the integrity requirement could potentially be raised to HIGH as this flow might be used to make law enforcement decisions involving the use of force. We assume that if this information is added it is added at the BIS rather than the RSE, so this integrity requirement on this flow is MEDIUM. Assuming it is still possible to validate travelers in the way that is currently possible this is acceptable as a MEDIUM. If when this system is down, the border cannot process any individuals then this would need to be a HIGH because completely shutting down the border could cause significant financial problems.
Light Vehicle OBE Light Vehicle Driver light vehicle driver updates Not Applicable Moderate Moderate
This data is informing the driver about the safety of a nearby area. It should not contain anything sensitive, and does not matter if another person can observe it. This is the information that is presented to the driver. If they receive incorrect information, they may act in an unsafe manner. However, there are other indicators that would alert them to any hazards, such as an oncoming vehicle or crossing safety lights. If this information is not made available to the driver, then the system has not operated correctly.
Personal Information Device Border and Port Administration Center expedited traveler registration Moderate Moderate Moderate
Contains PII to support the application. Must be accurate and timely or the border clearance will not be expedited and will not function without other intervention. Must be accurate and timely or the border clearance will not be expedited and will not function without other intervention.
Traveler Card Border Inspection System border card data High Moderate High
This data contains all of the information needed to identify a traveler. If a criminal was able to view this data, it could be used to impersonate the traveler. The identity reported by this transmission might not actually be the individual in the vehicle. As such there is no way that this could have HIGH integrity, and is why other sources must be used to ensure that this individual is who they are claiming to be. If the traveler card data was not delivered to the RSE by Vehicle OBE this will be the last chance for the card to be validated. If it fails, the traveler will likely be turned away from the border and not be allowed to cross. This would be equivalent to arriving at the border today without a passport, however it would be the system’s fault, not the user’s. Since there is no alternate way for an individual to prove their identity, this could break the whole system and should not happen.
