METR Discrepancy Handling System --> Other METR Discrepancy Handling Systems:
discrepancy report details

This triple is bi-directional. See also Other METR Discrepancy Handling Systems --> METR Discrepancy Handling System: discrepancy report details

Definitions

discrepancy report details (Information Flow): While investigating a consolidated discrepancy report, a translator agent might wish to see additional details (e.g., specifics about the time of each report, images included in the report). If so, they can make a request and obtain the discrepancy report details flow. Additionally, discrepancy report details can be transferred between METR Discrepancy Handling Centers.

METR Discrepancy Handling System (Source Physical Object): The 'METR Discrepancy Handling System' receives reports of discrepancies in rules from METR User Systems. It will perform a numerical analysis of discrepancy count vs. time for any given rule, and when warranted, report to the METR Regulation Center those rules with sufficient discrepancy reports to justify further investigation. It is identified as a separate center to provide a level of anonymity for the user that reports the issue. The METR Discrepancy Handling Center may register its availability as a service, and its associated cyber location information, with the Object Registration and Discovery System (ORDS).

Other METR Discrepancy Handling Systems (Destination Physical Object): Depending on deployments scenarios, a discrepancy report might be passed among multiple levels of Discrepancy Handling Systems. For example, a vehicle might be configured to report all its detected discrepancies to an OEM-operated Discrepancy Handling Center. This allows the OEM to become aware of potential problems with its discrepancy detection logic.
Once established thresholds are met, the OEM-operated Discrepancy Handling System might notify a Discrepancy Handling Center operated by a jurisdictional entity. The jurisdictional Discrepancy Handling System can then determine when the METR Regulation System is notified of the reported discrepancies.

Communication Solutions

Solutions are sorted in ascending Gap Severity order. The Gap Severity is the parenthetical number at the end of the solution.

Selected Solution

METR: Discrepancy Reporting Requirements - OMG DDS

Solution Description

This solution is used within Canada and the U.S.. It combines standards associated with METR: Discrepancy Reporting Requirements with those for OMG DDS. The METR: Discrepancy Reporting Requirements standards include upper-layer standards required to exchange traffic regulation discrepancies with a discrepancy handling center. The OMG DDS standards include lower-layer standards that support secure data sharing and command operations between remote devices.

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 Discrepancy-handling flows may contain a significant amount of discrepancy reporting information, which could imply behavior in the field, actions of rules-agents and other activities that could be leveraged by bad actors. Information contained in this flow will be used to assess the accuracy of existing rules; this will require some process that strips out incorrect reports, but the number of incorrect reports should be minimized to reduce undue processing. Backoffice discrepancy handling flows should be basically reliable, else the discrepancy handling system will have difficulty functioning, which in turn could lead to negative safety or other impacts in the field.
