Wayside Equipment --> Connected Vehicle Roadside Equipment:
arriving train information

Definitions

arriving train information (Information Flow): Information for a train approaching a highway-rail intersection that may include direction and allow calculation of approximate arrival time and closure duration.

Wayside Equipment (Source Physical Object): 'Wayside Equipment' represents train interface equipment (usually) maintained and operated by the railroad and (usually) physically located at or near a grade crossing. It is a source and destination for information for, or about, approaching trains and their crews (e.g. the time at which the train will arrive and the time it will take to clear a crossing, crossing status or warnings, etc.). Generally one wayside equipment interface would be associated with one highway rail intersection. However, multiple crossings may be controlled using information based on data from one wayside equipment interface.

Connected Vehicle Roadside Equipment (Destination Physical Object): 'Connected Vehicle Roadside Equipment' (CV RSE) represents the Connected Vehicle roadside devices that are used to send messages to, and receive messages from, nearby vehicles using Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) or other alternative wireless communications technologies. Communications with adjacent field equipment and back office centers that monitor and control the RSE are also supported. This device operates from a fixed position and may be permanently deployed or a portable device that is located temporarily in the vicinity of a traffic incident, road construction, or a special event. It includes a processor, data storage, and communications capabilities that support secure communications with passing vehicles, other field equipment, and centers.

Communication Solutions

  • (None-Data) - Guaranteed Secure Internet (ITS) (32)
Solutions are sorted in ascending Gap Severity order. The Gap Severity is the parenthetical number at the end of the solution.

Selected Solution

(None-Data) - Guaranteed Secure Internet (ITS)

Solution Description

This solution is used within Australia, the E.U. and the U.S.. It combines standards associated with (None-Data) with those for I-I: Guaranteed Secure Internet (ITS). The (None-Data) standards include an unspecified set of standards at the upper layers. The I-I: Guaranteed Secure Internet (ITS) standards include lower-layer standards that support secure communications with guaranteed delivery between ITS equipment using X.509 or IEEE 1609.2 security certificates.

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 Trains arriving should be visible, viewable and certainly not concealed. This flow is an intermediate to the end user, but may also be used by an intermediary process for some other action. Regardless, it forms the basis for providing data that, if incorrect, could lead to a catastrophic mistake. This flow is an intermediate to the end user, but may also be used by an intermediary process for some other action. Regardless, it forms the basis for providing data that, if incorrect, could lead to a catastrophic mistake. Since this flow can lead to other actions with other effects, HIGH is justifiable.
