object registration and discovery Quintuple

Bidirectional?: True

object registration and discovery (A-Interconnect): This CVRIA application interconnect encapsulates all of the Layer 2 information flows between two application objects: 'RSE Support Services', and 'Object Registration and Discovery'. This application interconnect is bi-directional since the underlying layer 2 information flows carry data in both directions.

Roadside Equipment (Source Physical Object): 'Roadside Equipment' (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.

RSE Support Services (Source Application Object): 'RSE Support Services' provides foundational functions that supports data collection, management, and distribution. It coordinates with Object Registration and Discovery to maintain its registration with respect to location/geographic scope and credentialing information. It maintains the necessary security credentials, authorizations, and associated keys to support communications in the connected vehicle environment.

Object Registration and Discovery Service (Destination Physical Object): The 'Object Registration and Discovery Service' represents one or more center-based applications that provide registration and lookup services necessary to allow objects to locate (for communications purposes) other objects operating within the Connected Vehicle Environment. These registration and discovery services are support services that enable other applications.

Object Registration and Discovery (Destination Application Object): 'Object Registration and Discovery' facilitates the registration of services by the respective service providers and the subsequent query-based discovery of these registered services. Many of the services offered by roadside or center-based service providers operating within the project geographic boundary will require an advertisement of their existence and cyber location to potential users; which consist primarily of PIDs and vehicles, but could include roadside or other center based services.
