Full Description

Scope

This standard is a companion volume for IEEE Std 1512-2006, referred to here as the Base Standard. This standard specifies messages, data frames, and data elements for communicating information abouttraffic and infrastructure management in support of real-time interagency transportation-related incident management. The Base Standard specifies messages, data frames, and data elements to describe an incident and form the message infrastructure for communication involved in real-time interagency transportationrelated incident management. Refer to the Base Standard for specification of the scope of the combination of the Base Standard and companion volumes such as this one. Together, the Base Standard and companion volumes shall be referred to as the IEEE 1512 Family of Standards.

Purpose

This standard is part of the IEEE 1512 Family of Standards. The purpose of that family of standards as a whole is presented in the Base Standard and will not be repeated here. The purpose of this standard is to take the real-world, available-information situation confronting the incident commander and the several involved agencies, and then support the exchange of that informationamong agencies, to make further information available to the incident commander and involved agencies, to best support them in managing the event. That calls for messages to communicate whatever information is available, often quite partial, among the several involved agencies, to accomplish four decision-support functions, corresponding to the five kinds of information exchange listed earlier in this clause: Function 1: To disseminate information about current and future traffic flows in thetransportation grid, including in particular impacts of an incident and particular routeinformation, to assist in the real-time interagency management of a transportation-relatedincident or event. Function 2: To support the management of traffic to assist in the real-time interagencymanagement of a transportation-related incident or event, including establishing reverse linksand the use of priority/preemption technologies. Function 3: To support the management of TMC assets and other assets, as necessary tomanage traffic, to assist in the real-time interagency management of a transportation-relatedincident or event. Function 4: To support the cleanup, repair, and replacement of damaged infrastructure, treatingthat operation as part of another incident, or as a separate incident.

Abstract

Revision Standard - Active.Revision of IEEE Std 1512.1-2003 This standard addresses the exchange of vital data about public safety and emergency management issues involved in transportation-related events, through common incident management message sets. The message sets specified are consistent with the National Intelligent Transportation Systems Architecture and are described using Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1 or ASN) syntax. This standard comprises the basic volume of the family of incident management standards, a multi-volume set of documents centered around this Base Standard. Other members of that family include three other companion volumes, specifying incident management message sets for transportation-management-related data exchange and hazardous-material- and cargo-related data exchange, etc. Collectively, that family of standards shall be referred to as the 1512 Family of Standards. The goal of that family of standards is to support efficient communication for the real-time, interagency management of transportationrelated events. Those events include incidents, emergencies, accidents, planned roadway closures, special events, and disasters caused by humans or natural events. Those events include any such event that impacts transportation systems or that causes a report to be received by an emergency management system, whether or not the event actually affects a transportation system and whether or not a response is required.
