Transportation Information Center --> Personal Information Device:
border crossing status information

Definitions

border crossing status information (Information Flow): Port of entry status including current wait-times, lane configuration and status including closures and restrictions, and notification of incidents at the border

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.

Personal Information Device (Destination Physical Object): 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.

    Security

    Information Flow Security
      Confidentiality Integrity Availability
    Rating Low Moderate Low
    Basis 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.
