5.4 - Provide Law Enforcement Allocation DFD

The eight processes in this DFD provide the Provide Law Enforcement Allocation function. These processes receive violation data from other ITS functions and send it to the appropriate law enforcement agency.

The key points about their functions are as follows:

The law enforcement agency tasked with responding to each type of violation is pre-defined;
These processes just report the violations, responsibility for eventual prosecution of offenders rests with the law enforcement agency;

There are eight processes in this DFD:
a) Process TM Detected Violations (5.4.1);
b) Process Violations for Tolls (5.4.2);
c) Process Parking Lot Violations (5.4.3);
d) Process Fare Payment Violations (5.4.4);
e) Process Vehicle Fare Collection Violations (5.4.5);
f) Process CV Violations (5.4.6);
g) Process Roadside Fare Collection Violations (5.4.7);
h) Process Emissions Violations (5.4.8).

These processes each provide interfaces to law enforcement agencies for different ITS functions. With the exception of processes (a) and (f) the data about violators is provided by facilities in the Provide Electronic Payment Services function - see DFD 7. The data provided by this function concerns those drivers or travelers who are trying to make invalid toll, parking lot charge or transit fare payments. Process (a) receives data from the Manage Traffic function - see DFD 1, about high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane and pollution violations. Process (f) receives data from the Manage Commercial Vehicles function - see DFD 2 about invalid payments for electronic credentials and tax filing by commercial vehicle managers or commercial vehicle owner drivers. Process (g) receives data from vehicle fare collection - see DFD 4.7.2. Process (h) receives data from the department of motor vehicles regarding violations in emissions. Processes (a), (b) and (c) which all deal with violations by drivers, will request details of their vehicles from the appropriate Department of Motor Vehicles office. This data will be added to that already provided by the particular ITS function. The processes can be implemented individually as required by each associated ITS function.
