Map Update Provider (Terminator*)

This terminator represents a provider of map databases used to support ITS services. It supports the provision of the databases that are used by travelers (e.g., navigable maps used for route guidance and display maps used at traveler information points) as well as those that are used by system operators (e.g., map data used by Traffic Operators to monitor and manage the road network, map data used by Fleet Managers to manage a vehicle fleet). This terminator may represent a third-party provider or an internal organization that produces map data for agency use. Products may include simple display maps, map data sets that define road network topology, or full geographic information system databases that are used to support ITS.

  • traffic probe data (Architecture Flow*) - Vehicle data that is used to determine traffic conditions. In a basic implementation, the data could be limited to time stamped unique identifiers that can be used to measure a vehicle’s progress through the network. In more advanced implementations, the vehicle may report current position, speed, and heading and snapshots of recent events including route information, starts and stops, speed changes, and other information that can be used to estimate traffic conditions.
