Transit Vehicle OBE --> Transit Management Center:
transit vehicle conditions
Definitions
transit vehicle conditions (Information Flow): Operating conditions of transit vehicle (e.g., engine running, oil pressure, fuel level and usage). It includes status of other on-board systems including user displays, passenger counters, and security systems. This overall status information is also collected from unused (out of service) vehicles.
Transit Vehicle OBE (Source Physical Object): The 'Transit Vehicle On-Board Equipment' (OBE) resides in a transit vehicle and provides the sensory, processing, storage, and communications functions necessary to support safe and efficient movement of passengers. The types of transit vehicles containing this physical object include buses, paratransit vehicles, light rail vehicles, other vehicles designed to carry passengers, and supervisory vehicles. It collects ridership levels and supports electronic fare collection. It supports a traffic signal prioritization function that communicates with the roadside physical object to improve on-schedule performance. Automated vehicle location enhances the information available to the transit operator enabling more efficient operations. On-board sensors support transit vehicle maintenance. The physical object supports on-board security and safety monitoring. This monitoring includes transit user or vehicle operator activated alarms (silent or audible), as well as surveillance and sensor equipment. The surveillance equipment includes video (e.g. CCTV cameras), audio systems and/or event recorder systems. It also furnishes travelers with real-time travel information, continuously updated schedules, transfer options, routes, and fares. A separate 'Vehicle OBE' physical object supports the general vehicle safety and driver information capabilities that apply to all vehicles, including transit vehicles. The Transit Vehicle OBE supplements these general capabilities with capabilities that are specific to transit vehicles.
Transit Management Center (Destination Physical Object): The 'Transit Management Center' manages transit vehicle fleets and coordinates with other modes and transportation services. It provides operations, maintenance, customer information, planning and management functions for the transit property. It spans distinct central dispatch and garage management systems and supports the spectrum of fixed route, flexible route, paratransit services, transit rail, and bus rapid transit (BRT) service. The physical object's interfaces support communication between transit departments and with other operating entities such as emergency response services and traffic management systems.

Interoperability | Description |
---|---|
Local | In cases where an interface is normally encapsulated by a single stakeholder, interoperability is still desirable, but the motive is vendor independence and the efficiencies and choices that an open standards-based interface provides. |

Basis | Basic diagnostic information should not be sensitive, but any warnings or alarms could be, particularly if they are related to an incident or hostile event related to the vehicle. Such information could be used as part of damage assessment or target identification. | This needs to be accurate to properly schedule maintenance activities (for the basic maintenance data items) and to properly respond to warning indicators. If corrupted or unavailable, there could be a significant repurcussion for the vehicle and by extension, the vehicle operator. | This needs to be accurate to properly schedule maintenance activities (for the basic maintenance data items) and to properly respond to warning indicators.
