Indianapolis ITS Architecture
| Level | Doc # | Standard | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Access | Internet Subnet Alternatives | A set of alternative standards that includes any Subnet Layer method of connecting to the Internet. | |
| Mgmt | 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. |
| Level | Doc # | Standard | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Facilities | IETF RFC 7159 | IETF RFC 7159 JSON | The JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), a lightweight, text-based, language-independent data interchange format. It was derived from the ECMAScript Programming Language Standard. JSON defines a small set of formatting rules for the portable representation of structured data. This document removes inconsistencies with other specifications of JSON, repairs specification errors, and offers experience-based interoperability guidance. |
| Facilities | IETF RFC 9110 | 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. |
| Facilities | IETF RFC 9112 | 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. |
| ITS Application Entity | MDS | Mobility Data Specification | The Mobility Data Specification (MDS), a project of the Open Mobility Foundation (OMF), is a set of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) that helps cities better manage transportation in the public right of way, standardizing communication and data-sharing between cities and mobility providers, allowing cities to share and validate policy digitally, and enabling vehicle management and better outcomes for residents. Inspired in part by projects like GTFS and GBFS, MDS is focused on managing mobility services such as dockless scooters, bicycles, mopeds, car share, delivery robots, and passenger services. |
One significant or possibly a couple minor issues. For existing deployments, the chosen solution likely has identified security or management issues not addressed by the communications solution. Deployers should consider additional security measures, such as communications link and physical security as part of these solutions. They should also review the management issues to see if they are relevant to their deployment and would require mitigation. For new deployments, the deployment efforts should consider a path to addressing these issues as a part of their design activities. The solution does not by itself provide a fully secure implementation without additional work.
