Electric Utility --> Electric Charging Management Center:
electric charging utility info

Definitions

electric charging utility info (Information Flow): Information about the status and health of the electric charging network from the utility's perspective, including any grid issues or outages that electric charging users should be aware of.

Electric Utility (Source Physical Object): The 'Electric Utility' is the local provider of electricity through an electric power distribution network

Electric Charging Management Center (Destination Physical Object): The 'Electric Charging Management Center' provides management services for one or more electric vehicle charging stations used to charge hybrid and all-electric vehicles. This includes public charging stations that support consumers, workplace charging stations, and fleet charging stations using plug in (level 1, 2, fast charge, etc.), or inductive charging methods. The center interfaces with traveler information providers to support payment of charging and to disseminate information about the availability and status of their chargers and to coordinate reservations by drivers for the use of a charger. The center also interfaces with the appropriate electric utility that supplies electricity for its chargers to coordinate demand on the power grid.

Communication Solutions

Solutions are sorted in ascending Gap Severity order. The Gap Severity is the parenthetical number at the end of the solution.

Selected Solution

(None-Data) - Secure Internet (ITS)

Solution Description

This solution is used within Australia, the E.U. and the U.S.. It combines standards associated with (None-Data) with those for I-I: Secure Internet (ITS). The (None-Data) standards include an unspecified set of standards at the upper layers. 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.

Note that some layers might have alternatives, in which case all of the gap icons associated with every alternative may be shown on the diagram, but the solution severity calculations (and resulting ordering of solutions) includes only the issues associated with the default (i.e., best, least severe) alternative.

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).
