Includes Physical Objects:

Physical Object	Class	Description
Emergency Personnel	Vehicle	'Emergency Personnel' represents personnel that are responsible for police, fire, emergency medical services, towing, service patrols, and other special response team (e.g., hazardous material clean-up) activities at an incident site. These personnel are associated with the Emergency Vehicle during dispatch to the incident site, but often work independently of the Emergency Vehicle while providing their incident response services.
Emergency Vehicle OBE	Vehicle	The 'Emergency Vehicle On-Board Equipment' (OBE) resides in an emergency vehicle and provides the processing, storage, and communications functions that support public safety-related connected vehicle applications. It represents a range of vehicles including those operated by police, fire, and emergency medical services. In addition, it represents other incident response vehicles including towing and recovery vehicles and freeway service patrols. It includes two-way communications to support coordinated response to emergencies. A separate 'Vehicle OBE' physical object supports the general vehicle safety and driver information capabilities that apply to all vehicles, including emergency vehicles. The Emergency Vehicle OBE supplements these general capabilities with capabilities that are specific to emergency vehicles.
ITS Roadway Equipment	Field	'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.

Includes Functional Objects:

Functional Object	Description	Physical Object
EV On-Board En Route Support	'EV On-Board En Route Support' provides communications functions to responding emergency vehicles that reduce response times and improve safety of responding public safety personnel and the general public. It supports traffic signal preemption via short range communication directly with signal control equipment.	Emergency Vehicle OBE
Roadway Signal Control	'Roadway Signal Control' includes the field elements that monitor and control signalized intersections. It includes the traffic signal controllers, detectors, conflict monitors, signal heads, and other ancillary equipment that supports traffic signal control. It also includes field masters, and equipment that supports communications with a central monitoring and/or control system, as applicable. The communications link supports upload and download of signal timings and other parameters and reporting of current intersection status. It represents the field equipment used in all levels of traffic signal control from basic actuated systems that operate on fixed timing plans through adaptive systems. It also supports all signalized intersection configurations, including those that accommodate pedestrians. In advanced, future implementations, environmental data may be monitored and used to support dilemma zone processing and other aspects of signal control that are sensitive to local environmental conditions.

Includes Information Flows:

Information Flow	Description
driver information	Regulatory, warning, guidance, and other information provided to the driver to support safe and efficient vehicle operation.
emergency personnel information presentation	Presentation of information to emergency personnel in the field including dispatch information, incident information, current road network conditions, device status, and other supporting information.
emergency personnel input	User input from emergency personnel in the field including dispatch coordination, incident status information, and remote device control requests.

Emergency Personnel	Emergency Vehicle OBE	emergency personnel input	Some of the information, such as incident status information, is sensitive, and should be protected.	The system must know that these requests came from actual Emergency Personal. Additionally, incorrect information here may lead to the system responding incorrectly to the incident	These messages are important for the system to operate properly. Additionally, the system must know if messages are not received so that it can act accordingly.

Emergency Vehicle OBE	Emergency Personnel	emergency personnel information presentation	Some of this information, such as incident information, is sensitive and should be protected.	This information could affect how the Emergency Personnel respond to the event, and should be as accurate as possible.	This information needs to be available for the Emergency Personnel in order for them to respond accurately to the system. If they do not acknowledge this information, dispatch needs to know, so they can attempt to contact the Emergency Personnel via another channel, such as radio.
ITS Roadway Equipment	Emergency Personnel	driver information	Not Applicable	High	High
ITS Roadway Equipment	Emergency Personnel	driver information	This data is sent to all drivers and is also directly observable, by design.	This is the primary signal trusted by the driver to decide whether to go through the intersection and what speed to go through the intersection at; if it’s wrong, accidents could happen.	If the lights are out you have to get a policeman to direct traffic – expensive and inefficient and may cause a cascading effect due to lack of coordination with other intersections.
