Definitions

center equipment configuration settings (Information Flow): Control settings and parameters that are used to configure center equipment.

Support Maintenance Equipment (Source Physical Object): 'Support Maintenance Equipment' represents the equipment used by IT personnel and technicians to locally or remotely troubleshoot, initialize, reprogram, and test IT assets that support ITS operations. It also manages service activities for IT assets, accepting service requests and providing service status as maintenance activities and repairs are scheduled and performed. It may include a workstation, laptop, trouble-ticket or other maintenance tracking software, specialized diagnostics tools, or any other general purpose or specialized equipment that is interfaced remotely or locally to support maintenance, repair, and upgrade.

Center (Destination Physical Object): This general physical object is used to model core capabilities that are common to any center.

Interoperability Description
Regional Interoperability throughout the geopolitical region is highly desirable, but if implemented differently in different transportation management jurisdictions, significant benefits will still accrue in each jurisdiction. Regardless, this Information Flow Triple should be implemented consistently within a transportation jurisdiction (i.e., the scope of a regional architecture).

Security

Information Flow Security
  Confidentiality Integrity Availability
Rating Moderate High High
Basis Commands could be sensitive and should include authentication data, thus should be MODERATE. Center system control, configuration and update need to be correct or the center may be misconfigured, which for some applications could have severe safety impacts. If the center has no safety-related functions, or little impact on regional mobility, this could be MODERATE. Without the ability to locally diagnose, operate, update and configure Center system Equipment, the Center is effectively out of control and would have to be taken out of service.
