Specializations of system

Class Description
central system ITS component that provides application, management, and/or administrative functions from a centralized location [i.e. not at the roadside]
connected vehicle roadside equipment ITS roadside equipment that perform ITS services by exchanging electronic messages with nearby connected vehicles and/or personal systems via short-range wireless technologies
cooperative ITS subset of ITS where information is shared among ITS stations in a manner that enables its use by multiple ITS services [ITS service.md]
cooperative ITS credentials management system support system that enables trusted communications among ITS components and protects data from unauthorized access
emergency management central system centre system that allows an entity to manage and respond to crashes, events, disasters, evacuation orders and other incidents
field support equipment portable field system used by field personnel to locally troubleshoot, initialize, reprogram and test infrastructure equipment
field system infrastructure-based ITS component located outside of a data centre that is designed to provide local processing or routing services while stationary
fleet and freight management central system centre system that allows a fleet or freight operator to manage and control its personnel, equipment and/or freight
intelligent transport system system comprised of information, communication, sensor and control technologies and that is designed to benefit a surface transport system
ITS component physical object that has been assigned one or more functional objects in the provision of one or more ITS services
ITS on-board equipment vehicle system that provides all ITS functionality on-board the vehicle
ITS roadside equipment field system that performs localized ITS services
maintenance and construction central management system centre system that allows an entity to monitor and manage the construction and maintenance of road infrastructure
map provision system support system that provides map databases used to support ITS services
nomadic device personal information device that is taken with and can be accessed by the traveller during a journey
nomadic vehicle device personal system consisting of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) and/or wireless modules that are connected to a vehicle during a trip
payment administration central system centre system that allows an entity to manage financial transactions related to transportation, especially the electronic transfer of funds
personal information device personal system that enables personal access to traveller information
personal system ITS component, other than a vehicle system, that is used by a person in relation to a past, current or upcoming journey
physical object abstraction of a material entity that interacts with other abstract material entities in the provision of ITS services
public information device personal system that provides public access to traveller information
public transport central management system centre system that allows an entity to manage the activities of a public transport agency
support system ITS component that provides services in support of one or more other ITS components
surface transport system transport system designed to move material entities across the surface or near-surface of the Earth
terminator entity that is external to the ITS service implementation but with which the implementation communicates either to obtain inputs or to which it can send outputs
traffic management central system centre system that monitors and controls traffic and the road network
traffic regulation central system centre system that officially records traffic regulations in electronic form so that they can be distributed to other systems
transport information central system centre system that provides information of interest to the travelling public
transport infrastructure system of transport facilities and equipment needed for a transport system
transport system system of infrastructure elements and optionally vehicles that are jointly designed to move material entities from an origin to a destination
vehicle system ITS component that is installed as a component of a vehicle
