object registration and discovery Quintuple
Bidirectional?: False
object registration and discovery (A-Interconnect): This CVRIA application interconnect encapsulates all of the Layer 2 information flows between two application objects: 'Object Registration and Discovery', and 'Vehicle Support Services'. In this case, there is only a single Layer 2 flow associated with this interconnect, so the Layer 1 application interconnect name and the Layer 2 information flow name are both 'object discovery'. This application interconnect is uni-directional since the underlying layer 2 information flows go from 'Object Registration and Discovery Service' to 'Vehicle OBE'.
Object Registration and Discovery Service (Source 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 (Source 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.
Vehicle OBE (Destination 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 Support Services (Destination Application Object): 'Vehicle Support Services' provides foundational functions that supports data collection, management, and distribution. It coordinates with Object Registration and Discovery to acquire necessary communications information. It maintains the necessary security credentials, authorizations, and associated keys to support communications in the connected vehicle environment.
