Field --> Maint and Constr Vehicle OBE:
asset ID
Definitions
asset ID (Information Flow): A unique identification number and optional additional information. This flow represents the output of an RFID tag that is used for identification and tracking of assets, including both passive and active RFID tag technology options. For active tags, additional stored information that conveys additional information about the asset (e.g., lot number, production date, service data) may be provided along with the unique ID.
Field (Source Physical Object): This general physical object is used to model core capabilities that are common to any piece of field equipment.
Maint and Constr Vehicle OBE (Destination Physical Object): The 'Maint and Constr Vehicle OBE' resides in a maintenance, construction, or other specialized service vehicle or equipment and provides the processing, storage, and communications functions necessary to support highway maintenance and construction. All types of maintenance and construction vehicles are covered, including heavy equipment, supervisory vehicles, unmanned remote controlled field maintenance robots, and sensory platforms that may be wheeled or low altitude aerial vehicles (e.g. drones, balloons). The MCV OBE provides two-way communications between drivers/operators and dispatchers and maintains and communicates current location and status information. A wide range of operational status is monitored, measured, and made available, depending on the specific type of vehicle or equipment. A snow plow for example, would monitor whether the plow is up or down and material usage information. The Maint and Constr Vehicle OBE may also contain capabilities to monitor vehicle systems to support maintenance of the vehicle itself. A separate 'Vehicle OBE' physical object supports the general vehicle safety and driver information capabilities that apply to all vehicles, including maintenance and construction vehicles. The Maint and Constr Vehicle OBE supplements these general capabilities with capabilities that are specific to maintenance and construction vehicles.

Interoperability | Description |
---|---|
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). |

Rating | Low | Moderate | Moderate | |
Basis | Unlikely that the ID of a particular asset, or even a group of assets would be useful to an attacker. Slight possibility, which is why Low vs. N/A. | Infrastructure information should be correct or maintenance assets may be inappropriately assigned, located or otherwise referenced. | Without this flow, asset location based safety applications may not function properly. The availability rating should mirror the importance of that service to the deployer. Generally if an operator goes to the trouble to track assets in the field this way, they consider this important and so the flow should be satisfied. Note that if an operator has multiple methods for tracking assets in the field, one instance of this flow could probably be reduced to LOW with minimal effect on service performance. |
