Connected Vehicle Roadside Equipment --> Personal Information Device: rail crossing warning Definitions
rail crossing warning (Information Flow): A warning of a train approaching or already in a highway rail intersection.
Multi-Access Edge Computing (Source Physical Object): 'Multi-Access Edge Computing' ((MEC) previously known as mobile edge computing) represents computing devices that operate and are managed like a cloud server, but are deployed at the edge of a network (typically a cellular network, but it could be any network). While not in strict proximity to the transportation network, these systems do benefit from vastly decreased distances to the roadway compared to central systems, and so can provide lower latency than strictly backoffice systems
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.

| Basis | This is directly observable data. | While there are other mechanisms for receiving this information, this data flow needs to be accurate lest a catastrophic mistake be made. | While the data is critically important, there are other mechanisms for noting an approaching train (crossing gates, the train itself). | |
