Expectation of Action	Expectation	An expectation where one party expects another party to take a specific action, typically in response to data or information provided by the first party, but without any formal agreement.
Expectation of Data Provision	Expectation	An expectation where one party believes another party will provide data on a regular and recurring basis, and that that data will be useful to the receiver in the context of the receiver's application. This thus includes some expectation of data fields, timeliness, quality, precision and similar qualities of data.
Expectation of Information Provision	Expectation	An expectation where one party believes another party will provide it information whenever such information is likely relevant to the recipient.
Expectation of Privacy Proxy Services	Expectation	Expectation whereby one party expects to provide data to a second party that proxies that data, provides it to a destination suggested by the first party, and protects the originator's contact information.
Expectation of Safety Provision	Expectation	Users of the transportation environment expect that the entities that operate the environment do so in such a way as to preserve and enhance users' safety. This is inherent to current operations, and is an underlying assumption of drivers and pedestrians when accepting information from ITS. This expectation is explicitly noted for connected vehicle applications where this is a new relationship, whereupon the transportation system user expects a transportation service provider to do something (i.e., actuate a system or deliver information) that will protect and/or enhance the user's safety.
Extends	Includes	Indicates that one component includes all of the functionality of another component, and in provides additional functionality beyond that other component's.
Field Component Installation Agreement	Agreement	An agreement that grants one party permission to install a field application component on a roadside device controlled by the other party.
Field Component Maintenance Agreement	Agreement	An agreement in which one entity maintains the operational status of the field component of an application under the control of another entity. This maintenance may include routine and as-needed maintenance, such as software update and configuration, hardware replacement and related system administration activities.
Includes	Includes	Indicates that one component is entirely contained within another component.
Information Exchange Agreement	Agreement	An agreement to exchange information, which may include data or control information; the exact information to be exchanged may vary from agreement to agreement.
Information Exchange and Action Agreement	Agreement	An agreement to exchange information, which may include data or control information; the exact information to be exchanged may vary from agreement to agreement. This also includes a specification for action that shall, should or may be taken by one party in response to this information.
Information Provision Agreement	Agreement	An agreement where one party agrees to provide information to another party. This is a unidirectional agreement.
Information Provision and Action Agreement	Agreement	An agreement where one party agrees to provide information to another party. This is a unidirectional agreement. This also includes a specification for action that shall, should or may be taken by one party in response to this information.
Installation Agreement	Agreement	An agreement whereupon one entity installs an application component on a device controlled by another entity.
Interface Description	Agreement	Documentation of the interface between two systems, where one system does not have an application component that is part of the application, but does provide and/or receive data and/or information that is used by or sourced from the application. In many cases this is an existing interface used by the application, so the description of the interface already exists and is imposed by the terminator.
Interface Specification	Agreement	The definition of interface between two hardware components that must share data.
Maintenance Agreement	Agreement	An agreement in which one entity maintains the operational status of a system under the control of another entity. This maintenance may include routine and as-needed maintenance, such as software update and configuration, hardware replacement and related system administration activities.

Presumption of Correct Operation	Expectation	The assumption made by one party that another party operates their device in a similar and correct fashion. Specific to devices in the transportation environment, this assumption is relevant when devices interact, where one party's device receives information from another's. The operator of the device implicitly trusts that the other device is operating according to a similar set of governing rules as its device.
Presumption of Non-Interference	Expectation	The assumption made by one party that another party's device that uses similar resources operates in manner that does not conflict with their device.
RSE Deployment Agreement	Agreement	Agreement to install, configure and make operational roadside equipment, between the provider of that equipment and the entity that controls access to the roadside. May define locations, expectation of power provision, backhaul responsibility and installation restrictions.
