Emergency Vehicle OBE --> Personal Information Device:
personal safety warning

Definitions

personal safety warning (Information Flow): Safety alerts and warnings provided to a personal information device. The provided information would identify safety threats (e.g., vehicle encroachment into a work area, personal infringement into a travel lane)

Emergency Vehicle OBE (Source Physical Object): The Emergency Vehicle On-Board Equipment (OBE) resides in an emergency vehicle and provides the processing, storage, and communications functions that support public safety-related connected vehicle applications. It represents a range of vehicles including those operated by police, fire, and emergency medical services. In addition, it represents other incident response vehicles including towing and recovery vehicles and freeway service patrols. It includes two-way communications to support coordinated response to emergencies. In CVRIA, a separate 'Vehicle OBE' physical object supports the general V2V and V2I safety applications and other applications that apply to all vehicles, including emergency vehicles. The Emergency Vehicle OBE supplements these general capabilities with capabilities that are specific to emergency vehicles.

Personal Information Device (Destination Physical Object): The 'Personal Information Device' provides the capability for travelers to receive formatted traveler information wherever they are. Capabilities include traveler information, trip planning, and route guidance. Frequently a smart phone, the Personal Information Device provides travelers with the capability to receive route planning and other personally focused transportation services from the infrastructure in the field, at home, at work, or while en-route. Personal Information Devices may operate independently or may be linked with connected vehicle on-board equipment.

This data is intentionally transmitted to everyone via a broadcast. It can also be determined via other visual indicators. A few false warnings should not have a bad consequence. When an emergency personnel receives a warning they can look around and verify whether or not a vehicle is actually headed towards them. It would be better to receive any messages than to not have this application available due to availability requirements. However, the higher the availability here, the more useful the application will be and the more emergency personnel can rely on it.
