Transportation Information Center --> Micromobility Vehicle OBE:
personal crossing safety information

Definitions

personal crossing safety information (Information Flow): Current crossing status including permission to cross, crossing time remaining, and warnings (e.g., a vehicle's trajectory may impact non-motorized users including pedestrians and cyclists).

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.

Micromobility Vehicle OBE (Destination Physical Object): The Micromobility Vehicle On-Board Equipment (MMV OBE) provides the vehicle-based sensory, processing, storage, and communications functions that support efficient, safe, and convenient travel. The MMV OBE includes general capabilities that apply to bicycles and other low-powered mobility devices such as e-scooters, powered wheelchairs, and power assisted bicycles. The MMV OBE includes the common interfaces and functions that could apply to any low-powered mobility device. The radio(s) supporting V2V and V2I communications are a key component of the MMV OBE. Both one-way and two-way communications options support a spectrum of information services from basic broadcast to advanced personalized information services. Advanced sensors, processors, and enhanced traveler interfaces (through PIDs), complement traveler information services so that, in addition to making informed mode and route selections, the vulnerable road user travels these routes in a safer and more consistent manner.

    Basis This data is intentionally transmitted to everyone via a broadcast. It can also be determined via other visual indicators. People will use this information to determine if they can cross, so incorrect information increases the risk of accidents. DISC: THEA believes this to be HIGH: "info needs to be accurate and should not be tampered with (used to warn pedestrians of infringement, etc.); higher because enables accessibility; pedestrians may not be able to see/hear the information" If this is down, the pedestrian still gets information from the RE and from the rest of the environment. DISC: NYC and THEA believe this to be MODERATE: info needs to be accurate and should not be tampered with (used to warn pedestrians of infringement, etc.); higher because enables accessibility; pedestrians may not be able to see/hear the information; however, overall I level is M, not H, because message is still just information and pedestrian needs to use their own awareness
    A: needs to be readily available to give permission to cross, time remaining, etc. but cannot guarantee wireless communication; however, worst case is the pedestrian has to wait; also cannot guarantee wireless communication
