Link Type: Vehicle On-Board

Vehicle OBE --> Vehicle Databus:
driver update information

Definitions

driver update information (Information Flow): Information provided to the driver-vehicle interface to inform the driver about current conditions, potential hazards, and the current status of vehicle on-board equipment. The flow includes the information to be presented to the driver and associated metadata that supports processing, prioritization, and presentation by the DVI as visual displays, audible information and warnings, and/or haptic feedback.

Vehicle OBE (Source Physical Object): The Vehicle On-Board Equipment (OBE) provides the vehicle-based processing, storage, and communications functions necessary to support connected vehicle operations. The radio(s) supporting V2V and V2I communications are a key component of the Vehicle OBE. This communication platform is augmented with processing and data storage capability that supports the connected vehicle applications.

In CVRIA, the Vehicle OBE includes the functions and interfaces that support connected vehicle applications for passenger cars, trucks, and motorcycles. Many of these applications (e.g., V2V Safety applications) apply to all vehicle types including personal vehicles, commercial vehicles, emergency vehicles, transit vehicles, and maintenance vehicles. From this perspective, the Vehicle OBE includes the common interfaces and functions that apply to all motorized vehicles.

Vehicle Databus (Destination Physical Object): The 'Vehicle Databus' represents the interface to the vehicle databus (e.g., CAN, LIN, Ethernet/IP, FlexRay, and MOST) that may enable communication between the Vehicle OBE and other vehicle systems to support connected vehicle applications. The vehicle system statuses and/or sensor outputs available on the databus will vary based on the equipment installed on the vehicle and availability on databus. System statuses and sensor outputs may include select vehicle systems and sensors such as accelerometers, yaw rate sensors, and GPS derived location and timing information. In CVRIA, this physical object is used to represent the onboard interactions between the Vehicle OBE and the other systems included in a host vehicle.

Note that the vehicle databus interface is not standardized across all vehicle classes. Also, some Vehicle OBE implementations will not have access to the vehicle databus. See 'Vehicle OBE' for more information.

Security

This information flow triple is in the following applications with the following security levels.

Information Flow Security
Application Confidentiality Integrity Availability
Basis Basis Basis
Incident Scene Work Zone Alerts for Drivers and Workers Low Moderate Moderate
This warning would be created using data that was shared with everyone. This information is important for drivers to receive. However, if they do not receive it, there should be other indicators about the incident that prevent a collision. This system should be able to operate properly if most messages are received.
Pedestrian in Signalized Crosswalk Warning Low Moderate Moderate
All of this information is information that will be sent via broadcast, received via broadcast, or could be derived by observing the vehicle. In this instance, the data displayed to the driver is based on all of the previous inputs to the application. If the integrity of this information flow is not held to the same standard, it invalids the rest of the assessments. As with integrity, the requirement here is based off of all of the previous information flows. This should be MEDIUM to ensure that the notification reaches the driver correctly. However, there are other indicators of pedestrians in the crosswalk, and the driver should not be 100% reliant on the notifications before proceeding. Additionally, there should some form of notification to the driver when messages are unable to be presented correctly, informing them to have their vehicle serviced
