Description
alarm
Information about a Commercial Vehicle or Freight Equipment breach, non-
permitted security sensitive hazmat detected at the roadside, route deviation,
or Commercial Vehicle Driver / Commercial Vehicle / Freight Equipment
assignment mismatches which includes the location of the Commercial
Vehicle and appropriate identities.
alarm acknowledge
Confirmation that alarm was received, instructions and additional information
for the alarm initiator, and requests for additional information.
alarm notification
Notification of activation of an audible or silent alarm by a traveler in a public
area or by a transit vehicle operator using an on-board device.
alert notification
Notification of a major emergency such as a natural or man-made disaster,
civil emergency, or child abduction for distribution to the public. The flow
identifies the alert originator, the nature of the emergency, the geographic area
affected by the emergency, the effective time period, and information and
instructions necessary for the public to respond to the alert. This flow may
also identify specific information that should not be released to the public.
alert notification coordination
Coordination of emergency alerts to be distributed to the public. This includes
notification of a major emergency such as a natural or man-made disaster, civil
emergency, or child abduction for distribution to the public and status of the
public notification.
alert status
Information indicating the current status of the emergency alert including
identification of the traveler and driver information systems that are being used
to provide the alert.
alerts and advisories
Assessments (general incident and vulnerability awareness information),
advisories (identification of threats or recommendations to increase
preparedness levels), and alerts (information on imminent or in-progress
emergencies). This flow also provides supporting descriptive detail on
incidents, threats, and vulnerabilities to increase preparedness and support
effective response to threats against the surface transportation system.

preparedness levels), and alerts (information on imminent or in-progress
emergencies). This flow also provides supporting descriptive detail on
incidents, threats, and vulnerabilities to increase preparedness and support
effective response to threats against the surface transportation system.
amber alert confirmation_ud
The confirmation that the amber alert message was received, and the current
status of the amber alert.
amber alert_ud
Amber alert information. Can be placed on dynamic message signs controlled
by a traffic management element.
archive coordination
Catalog data, meta data, published data, and other information exchanged
between archives to support data synchronization and satisfy user data
requests.
archive requests
A request to a data source for information on available data (i.e. "catalog") or a
request that defines the data to be archived. The request can be a general
subscription intended to initiate a continuous or regular data stream or a
specific request intended to initiate a one-time response from the recipient.
archive status
Notification that data provided to an archive contains erroneous, missing, or
suspicious data or verification that the data provided appears valid. If an error
has been detected, the offending data and the nature of the potential problem
are identified.
border incident response status
Status of the current incident response at a border crossing, including a
summary of incident status and its impact on the transportation system, traffic
management strategies implemented at the site (e.g., closures, diversions,
traffic signal control overrides), and current and planned response activities.
border information archive data
Border inspection activities data. Content may include a catalog of available
information, the actual information to be archived, and associated meta data
that describes the archived information.
broadcast traveler information
General traveler information that contains traffic and road conditions, link travel
times, incidents, advisories, transit service information, weather information,
parking information, and other related traveler information.
