Emergency Personnel --> ITS Roadway Equipment:
personnel monitoring

Definitions

personnel monitoring (Information Flow): Sensed presence of personnel within a work zone or incident scene that is monitored to enhance safety in work areas proximate to moving traffic.

Emergency Personnel (Source Physical Object): 'Emergency Personnel' represents personnel that are responsible for police, fire, emergency medical services, towing, service patrols, and other special response team (e.g., hazardous material clean-up) activities at an incident site. These personnel are associated with the Emergency Vehicle during dispatch to the incident site, but often work independently of the Emergency Vehicle while providing their incident response services.

ITS Roadway Equipment (Destination Physical Object): 'ITS Roadway Equipment' represents the ITS equipment that is distributed on and along the roadway that monitors and controls traffic and monitors and manages the roadway. This physical object includes traffic detectors, environmental sensors, traffic signals, highway advisory radios, dynamic message signs, CCTV cameras and video image processing systems, grade crossing warning systems, and ramp metering systems. Lane management systems and barrier systems that control access to transportation infrastructure such as roadways, bridges and tunnels are also included. This object also provides environmental monitoring including sensors that measure road conditions, surface weather, and vehicle emissions. Work zone systems including work zone surveillance, traffic control, driver warning, and work crew safety systems are also included.

Interoperability Description
Not Applicable Interoperability ratings don't apply per se to some types of interfaces like human interfaces. These interfaces may still benefit from associated standards (e.g., ergonomic and human factors standards for human interfaces), but the primary motive for these standards is not interoperability.

Security

Information Flow Security
  Confidentiality Integrity Availability
Rating Not Applicable Moderate Low
Basis This is directly observable. This data should be as accurate as possible in order to increase the usefulness of the data. Any personnel detection is better than none. However, the higher the availability here, the more useful the application will be and the more emergency personnel can rely on it.
