Pathway Communications Unit --> Transportation Information Center:
passive device monitoring data

Definitions

passive device monitoring data (Information Flow): Time stamped identifiers that identify unique devices in the vicinity of the monitoring device.

Pathway Communications Unit (Source Physical Object): The 'Pathway Communications Unit' provides wireless communications between the pathway infrastructure (either indoor or outdoor) and nearby mobile devices; Communications with adjacent field equipment (including other PCUs) and back-office centers that monitor and control the PCU are also supported. The PCU provides basic radio communications supporting the lower layers of the OSI stack (TransNet and SubNet layers of the ARC-IT communications model). Importantly, it can also serve as a reference for mobile devices to determine their position more accurately (e.g., through triangulation or other means).

Transportation Information Center (Destination 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.
