US: WZDx - Secure Internet (ITS)
Description:
This solution is used within Canada and the U.S.. It combines standards associated with US: WZDx with those for I-I: Secure Internet (ITS). The US: WZDx standards include upper-layer standards required to implement work zone information data exchanges. The I-I: Secure Internet (ITS) standards include lower-layer standards that support secure communications between ITS equipment using X.509 or IEEE 1609.2 security certificates.

Internet Subnet Alternatives
|
A set of alternative standards that includes any Subnet Layer method of connecting to the Internet.

Bundle: SNMPv3 MIB
|
A bundle of standards (RFCs) that groups the common management information bases (MIBs) used to manage IP networks at the transport layer and below using SNMPv3.

Security
|

Secure Session Alternatives
|
A set of alternative standards that identifies standards that are used to establish and maintain secure Internet sessions. If an information exchange does not require encryption, the (D)TLS session can negotiate NULL encryption. NOTE: If TCP is selected in the TransNet Layer, one of the TLS alternatives must be selected from this alternative set; if UDP is selected in the TransNet Layer, one of the DTLS alternatives must be selected from this alternative set.

TransNet

|
Internet Transport Alternatives
|
A set of alternative standards that identifies the two major options for the transport layer for mainstream IP-based deployments.
|
|
TransNet
|
|
IP Alternatives
|
A set of alternative standards that allows for the selection of IPv4 or IPv6.

IETF RFC 7946 GeoJSON
|
GeoJSON is a geospatial data interchange format based on JavaScript Object Notation (JSON). It defines several types of JSON objects and the manner in which they are combined to represent data about geographic features, their properties, and their spatial extents. GeoJSON uses a geographic coordinate reference system, World Geodetic System 1984, and units of decimal degrees.

IETF RFC 9110 HTTP Semantics
|
The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a stateless application-level protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypertext information systems. This document describes the overall architecture of HTTP, establishes common terminology, and defines aspects of the protocol that are shared by all versions. In this definition are core protocol elements, extensibility mechanisms, and the "http" and "https" Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) schemes.

IETF RFC 9112 HTTP/1.1
|
The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a stateless application-level protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypertext information systems. This document specifies the HTTP/1.1 message syntax, message parsing, connection management, and related security concerns.

Connected Work Zones
|
This CWZ Implementation Guide and Standard addresses gaps identified by early deployers and
provides guidance for organizations seeking to develop interoperable connected work zones across the
United States, especially for automated transportation systems. It focuses on harmonizing the existing
Work Zone Data Exchange (WZDx) Specification, CWZ research and pilot deployments, and related
standards activities addressing connected work zones.

Readiness Description:
Two significant or one significant and several minor issues. For existing deployments, the chosen solution is likely deficient in security or management capabilities and the issues should be reviewed and upgrades developed as needed. For new deployments, the solution may be viable for pilots when applied to the triples it supports; such pilot deployments should consider a path to addressing these issues as a part of their design activities. The solution does not provide sufficient interoperability, management, and security to enable proper, full-scale deployment without additional work.
