maintenance vehicle databus I/O Quintuple

Bidirectional?: True

maintenance vehicle databus I/O (A-Interconnect): This CVRIA application interconnect encapsulates all of the Layer 2 information flows between the 'MCV Winter Maintenance' application object and the 'Maint and Constr Vehicle Databus' physical object. This application interconnect is bi-directional since the underlying layer 2 information flows carry data in both directions.

Maint and Constr Vehicle Databus (Source Physical Object): The 'Maint and Constr Vehicle Databus' represents the interface to a vehicle databus that provides access to the maintenance-related sensors, GPS, drive train monitoring and control systems, and maintenance control systems that support connected vehicle applications. In CVRIA, this physical object is used to represent the onboard interactions between the OBE and the other systems included in a host vehicle. This interface is used to control the non-ITS systems such as the actual operation of the snow plow, as well as any non-ITS sensor equipment that monitors the amount of materials (e.g., sand or salt) on-board.

Maint and Constr Vehicle OBE (Destination Physical Object): The 'Maint and Constr Vehicle OBE' resides in a maintenance, construction, or other specialized service vehicle or equipment and provides the processing, storage, and communications functions necessary to support highway maintenance and construction. All types of maintenance and construction vehicles are covered, including heavy equipment and supervisory vehicles. The MCV OBE provides two-way communications between drivers/operators and dispatchers and maintains and communicates current location and status information. A wide range of operational status is monitored, measured, and made available, depending on the specific type of vehicle or equipment. A snow plow for example, would monitor whether the plow is up or down and material usage information. The Maint and Constr Vehicle OBE may also contain capabilities to monitor vehicle systems to support maintenance of the vehicle itself and include sensors that monitor environmental conditions such as road condition and surface weather information. This can include a diverse set of mobile environmental sensing platforms, including wheeled vehicles and any other vehicle that collects and reports environmental information. 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 maintenance and construction vehicles. The Maint and Constr Vehicle OBE supplements these general applications with applications that are specific to maintenance and construction vehicles.

MCV Winter Maintenance (Destination Application Object): "MCV Winter Maintenance" supports snow plow operations and other roadway treatments (e.g., salt spraying and other material applications). It supports communications with the center to receive information and instructions that are provided to the vehicle operator and also supports remote control of on-board systems. It tracks operational status of snow and ice control operations and provides this information back to the center.
