container id and location Quintuple
Bidirectional?: True
container id and location (A-Interconnect): This CVRIA application interconnect encapsulates all of the Layer 2 information flows between two application objects: 'Freight Equipment Monitoring', and 'RSE Intermodal Terminal Management'. This application interconnect is bi-directional since the underlying layer 2 information flows carry data in both directions.
Freight Equipment (Source Physical Object): 'Freight Equipment' represents a freight container, intermodal chassis, or trailer and provides sensory, processing, storage, and communications functions necessary to support safe, secure and efficient freight operations. It provides equipment safety data and status and can alert the appropriate systems of an incident, breach, or tamper event. It also provides accurate position information to support in-transit visibility of freight equipment.
Freight Equipment Monitoring (Source Application Object): "Freight Equipment Monitoring" includes the on-board devices used to monitor intermodal freight equipment. These devices provide freight equipment location and status of the freight, container, or chassis equipment.
Roadside Equipment (Destination Physical Object): 'Roadside Equipment' (RSE) represents the Connected Vehicle roadside devices that are used to send messages to, and receive messages from, nearby vehicles using Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) or other alternative wireless communications technologies. Communications with adjacent field equipment and back office centers that monitor and control the RSE are also supported. This device operates from a fixed position and may be permanently deployed or a portable device that is located temporarily in the vicinity of a traffic incident, road construction, or a special event. It includes a processor, data storage, and communications capabilities that support secure communications with passing vehicles, other field equipment, and centers.
RSE Intermodal Terminal Management (Destination Application Object): "RSE Intermodal Terminal Management" manages communications with commercial vehicles on behalf of an Intermodal Terminal. This application object manages entry to and exit from the facility and supports identification of entering vehicles and associated freight equipment, including containers. It also supports identification and tracking of containers within the terminal and identifies container pickup and drop-off locations, including optional routing instructions within the terminal.
