Transportation Information Center --> Traveler Information Voice System:
voice-based traveler information
Definitions
voice-based traveler information (Information Flow): Traveler information sent to the telecommunications systems for traveler information terminator. This flow may represent the bulk transfer of traveler information, including traffic conditions, incident information, transit information and weather and road condition information. It may be specially formatted for voice-based traveler information.
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.
Traveler Information Voice System (Destination Physical Object): The 'Traveler Information Voice System' provides the caller interface and voice processing (voice recognition/synthesis) that supports voice-enabled traveler telephone information systems. It provides wireline and wireless caller access to 511 systems and other telephone access mechanisms like 7 or 10 digit local access numbers. It represents the boundary of the architecture where a call is received and processed and includes voice portal capabilities in scenarios where a distinct voice portal exists between ITS Centers and telecommunications providers. The terminator gathers traveler information, alerts, and advisories from information service provider(s) and uses this information to support voice-based interactions with a traveler.

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). |

Basis | All of this is information eventually intended for public dissemination. Intercepting all of this information without going through the traditional interface would not provide a significant threat vector. | Since the information in this flow will eventually provide traveler information, and travelers are likely to use this information to make travel decisions, there must be some assurance the information is correct and not tampered with. If modified, it could lead to negatively-affected travel experiences. | Since the information in this flow will eventually provide traveler information, and travelers are likely to use this information to make travel decisions, it must be delivered promptly or travelers are likely to have less effective (overall) mobility. However, there are many avenues for receiving traveler information in most cases, which lowers this to LOW, typically. |
