Surface Transportation Weather Service --> Traffic Management Center:
qualified environmental conditions data
Definitions
qualified environmental conditions data (Information Flow): Current road conditions (e.g., surface temperature, subsurface temperature, moisture, icing, treatment status) and surface weather conditions (e.g., air temperature, wind speed, precipitation, visibility) that has had quality checks performed on it and has been formatted and consolidated by the Clarus system. Attributes relating to the data collection (and aggregation) are also included.
Surface Transportation Weather Service (Source Physical Object): The 'Surface Transportation Weather Service' represents the providers of value-added sector-specific meteorological services. These providers utilize National Weather Service data and predictions, road condition information and local environmental data provided by traffic management or maintenance organizations, and their own models to provide surface transportation related weather observations and forecasts including pavement temperature and conditions.
Traffic Management Center (Destination Physical Object): The 'Traffic Management Center' monitors and controls traffic and the road network. It represents centers that manage a broad range of transportation facilities including freeway systems, rural and suburban highway systems, and urban and suburban traffic control systems. It communicates with ITS Roadway Equipment and Connected Vehicle Roadside Equipment (RSE) to monitor and manage traffic flow and monitor the condition of the roadway, surrounding environmental conditions, and field equipment status. It manages traffic and transportation resources to support allied agencies in responding to, and recovering from, incidents ranging from minor traffic incidents through major disasters.

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 | If this data were exposed there would be little to no harm, except that the exposure was not authorized and the sender had no knowledge of downstream data usage. That alone is difficult to judge as 'serious harm' so left at LOW. | Since the point of this particular flow is to provide data that is already quality checked, corruption of this data would have a significant negative impact on the users of this data. | This flow is used to help determine what road operations actions should be taken. If unavailable then other mechanisms would be used, but these would degrade the overall quality of road condition estimation; if that estimate fails to suggest the correct actions, the cost to mobility could be signficant. |
