map update coordination Quintuple
Bidirectional?: True
map update coordination (A-Interconnect): This CVRIA application interconnect encapsulates all of the Layer 2 information flows between the 'Map Management' application object and the 'Other Map Update Systems' physical object. 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 'map update coordination'. This application interconnect is bi-directional since the underlying layer 2 information flows carry data in both directions.
Map Update System (Source Physical Object): The 'Map Update System' represents a provider of map databases used to support ITS services. It supports the provision of the map data that are used directly by vehicles (e.g., roadway and intersection geometry data sets), travelers (e.g., navigable maps used for route guidance and display maps used at traveler information points), system operators (e.g., map data used by Traffic Operators to monitor and manage the road network, and map data used by Fleet Managers to manage a vehicle fleet). It may represent a third-party provider or an internal organization that produces map data for agency use. Products may include simple display maps, map data sets that define detailed road network topology and geometry, or full geographic information system databases that are used to support planning and operations.
Map Management (Source Application Object): "Map Management" provides the GIS functionality necessary to support map data creation and management. It provides an operator interface that supports management of the map data and rendering of the maps under operator control and interfaces to external data sources, including the connected vehicle environment.
Other Map Update Systems (Destination Physical Object): Representing other distinct Map Update Systems, this object is intended to provide a source and destination for ITS information flows between peer map update providers. It enables cooperative information sharing between base map and specialized map providers and any other exchange of geographic information between map data providers.
