Pathway Communications Unit --> Other ITS Objects:
local ITS information

This triple is bi-directional. See also Other ITS Objects --> Pathway Communications Unit: local ITS information

Definitions

local ITS information (Information Flow): ITS information that is relevant to a particular location (e.g., a particular intersection) that is of interest to receivers near that location. This flow is a super-flow; it does not define specific content since it represents any information flow exchange using short range communications between physical objects defined in ARC-IT. This includes both broadcast communications to all receivers within range and unicast communications targeted for a specific receiver. This information flow represents any of those information flows and inherits the data content and attributes defined in the more detailed information flows.

Pathway Communications Unit (Source Physical Object): The 'Pathway Communications Unit' provides wireless communications between the pathway infrastructure (either indoor or outdoor) and nearby mobile devices; Communications with adjacent field equipment (including other PCUs) and back-office centers that monitor and control the PCU are also supported. The PCU provides basic radio communications supporting the lower layers of the OSI stack (TransNet and SubNet layers of the ARC-IT communications model). Importantly, it can also serve as a reference for mobile devices to determine their position more accurately (e.g., through triangulation or other means).

Other ITS Objects (Destination Physical Object): Representing other ITS Objects, 'Other ITS Objects' provides a source and destination for information exchange between ITS Objects.

Communication Solutions

  • (None-Data) - Guaranteed Secure Wireless Internet (EU) (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 Wireless Internet (EU)

Solution Description

This solution is used within Australia and the E.U.. It combines standards associated with (None-Data) with those for I-M: Guaranteed Secure Wireless Internet (EU). The (None-Data) standards include an unspecified set of standards at the upper layers. The I-M: Guaranteed Secure Wireless Internet (EU) standards include lower-layer standards that support secure communications with guaranteed delivery between two entities, either or both of which may be mobile devices, but they must be stationary or only moving within wireless range of a single wireless access point (e.g., a parked car). Security is based on X.509 certificates. A non-mobile (if any) endpoint may connect to the service provider using any Internet connection method.

Note that some layers might have alternatives, in which case all of the gap icons associated with every alternative may be shown on the diagram, but the solution severity calculations (and resulting ordering of solutions) includes only the issues associated with the default (i.e., best, least severe) alternative.
