US: ATIS - Wide Area Broadcast

Description

This solution is used within the U.S.. It combines standards associated with US: ATIS with those for C–X: Wide Area Broadcast. The US: ATIS standards include upper–layer standards required to implement traveler information communications. The C–X: Wide Area Broadcast standards include lower–layer standards that support one entity broadcasting information to all wireless devices over an area that covers at least a metropolitan area without any expectation of acknowledgement or response; security is provided by the upper–layers.

ITS Application EntitySAE J2353Data Dictionary for Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS)This document provides a set of core data elements needed by information service providers for Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS). The data dictionary herein provides the foundation for ATIS message sets for all stages of travel (pre–trip and en route), all types of travelers (drivers, passengers), all categories of information, and all platforms for delivery of information (in–vehicle, portable devices, kiosks, etc.). The elements of this document are the basis for the SAE ATIS Message Set Standard J2354 and are entered into the SAE Data Registry for ITS wide coordination.
FacilitiesIETF RFC 9110HTTP SemanticsThe Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a stateless application–level protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypertext information systems. This document describes the overall architecture of HTTP, establishes common terminology, and defines aspects of the protocol that are shared by all versions. In this definition are core protocol elements, extensibility mechanisms, and the "http" and "https" Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) schemes.
FacilitiesIETF RFC 9112HTTP/1.1The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a stateless application–level protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypertext information systems. This document specifies the HTTP/1.1 message syntax, message parsing, connection management, and related security concerns.
FacilitiesW3C XMLExtensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 (Fifth Edition)This standard defines a generic markup language that can be used to share customizable information by using start and stop tags within the text.
FacilitiesSAE J2354Message Sets for Advanced Traveler Information System (ATIS)This standard defines how to exchange data for Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS). The messages contained herein address all stages of travel (pre–trip and en–route), all types of travelers (drivers, passengers), all categories of information, and all platforms for delivery of information (in–vehicle, portable devices, kiosks, etc.).

Readiness: Low

Readiness Description

One serious or several significant issues. This category often includes proprietary or partial solutions. The communications solution may fail to provide even a base level of interoperability and security. Consider alternative solutions, or define specific revisions or upgrades that would provide a level of interoperability or security that are needed for the deployment.
