Transaction Set Diagram

Note that this transaction set diagram (TSD) is only 1 of the 3 TSDs and so only a portion of the numbered items below refer to the TSD.

The following discusses how the National ITS Architecture provides the transportation service described by this service package. Each numbered item describes the operation of that portion of the service package identified with the corresponding number on the transaction set diagram.

  1. The entire process is under the asynchronous monitoring (ISP operations information presentation) and control (ISP operator inputs) by the ISP Operator.

  2. Periodically, possibly by subscription or by regularly scheduled requests, Information Service Providers and kiosks (Remote Traveler Support) may request (map update request) and download map updates from a Map Update Provider.

  3. The driver may submit (through the Vehicle Subsystem) a traveler profile, which will identify recurring trip characteristics, personal preferences, or equipment capabilities. Optionally, asynchronously, and as often as desired, a Driver may request (driver inputs) a yellow page information or reservations from an in-vehicle system.

  4. Yellow page information requests or requests for reservations are passed from the in-vehicle system to the ISP (travel services request).

  5. An ISP may present a request for payment (payment request) and then receive transaction status on that request from a Financial Institution.

  6. A yellow pages and/or a travel service information request may be made by the Information Service Provider. When made, the travel service information is returned from Yellow Pages Service Providers. Upon receipt of the information, an Information Service Provider may make a travel service reservation request, and then the Yellow Pages Service Provider would return travel service reservations.

    Yellow Pages requests, travel service requests and/or parking requests may be forwarded (multimodal information) to other Information Service Providers operating in conjunction with the primary ISP originating the request.

  7. Once the information is collected, the ISP will send the travel services information back to the in-vehicle system.

  8. The yellow pages information is sent to the driver (driver updates).

  9. The Traveler may submit (through the Personal Information Access Subsystem) a traveler profile, which will identify recurring trip characteristics, personal preferences, or equipment capabilities. Optionally, asynchronously, and as often as desired, a Traveler may request (traveler inputs) a yellow page information or reservations from a personal computing device or kiosk.

  10. Optionally, in conjunction with the financial transaction with the Financial Institution (step 13 below), a request for payment and corresponding payment may be made using the Traveler Card. If payment is required for the information request, and the Traveler Card is capable of making the payment, the transaction with the Financial Institution may not occur. This Traveler Card payment may be a minimum charge merely required just to use a public device such as a kiosk, and a separate transaction charge may also be required, depending upon the service.

  11. Yellow page information requests or requests for reservations are passed from the personal computing device or kiosk to the ISP (travel services request).

  12. An ISP may present a request for payment (payment request) and then receive transaction status on that request from a Financial Institution.

  13. A yellow pages and/or a travel service information request may be made by the Information Service Provider. When made, the travel service information is returned from Yellow Pages Service Providers. Upon receipt of the information, an Information Service Provider may make a travel service reservation request, and then the Yellow Pages Service Provider would return travel service reservations.

    Yellow Pages requests, travel service requests and/or parking requests may be forwarded (multimodal information) to other Information Service Providers operating in conjunction with the primary ISP originating the request.

  14. Once the information is collected, the ISP will send the travel services information back to the originating device (from Step 12).

  15. The yellow pages information is sent to the Traveler (traveler interface updates).
