Other Transportation Information Centers --> Transportation Information Center: pathway information Definitions
pathway information (Information Flow): Information related to indoor or outdoor paths. The information may cover both static and real-time updates including maintenance information relevant to pathways.
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.
Other Transportation Information Centers (Destination Physical Object): Representing another Transportation Information Center, this object is intended to provide a source and destination for ITS information flows between peer information and service provider functions. It enables cooperative information sharing between providers as conditions warrant.

| Regional | Interoperability throughout the geopolitical region is highly desirable, but if implemented differently in different transportation management jurisdictions, significant benefits will still accrue in each jurisdiction. Regardless, this Information Flow Triple should be implemented consistently within a transportation jurisdiction (i.e., the scope of a regional architecture). |

| Basis | Observable information describing physical assets; unlikely to trigger nefarious activity. | May be used to suggest routing, so should be correct and available. Impact will be limited to pedestrians and similar slow-movers, but if compromised could lead to sending travelers to suboptimal, incorrect or simply dangerous routes. | May be used to suggest routing, so should be correct and available.
