Inclusive q

5. Solution Options Jurisdiction holding the credentials is known
No Central Database
Option 2
Centralized Database
Jurisdiction holding the credentials is unknown
Option 3
Pointer System

6. Centralized Database eCredentials stored in a central server
Jurisdictions to update data in the central server regularly
eCredentials System will consist of:
A central database
Set of batch programs to receive and process data from Jurisdictions
An application to process inquiries from Law Enforcement

7. Centralized Database -Considerations
Jurisdictions have to develop batch programs to send additions, deletions and modifications of the eCredentials to the central server
Labor and data center cost to maintain the eCredentials System
Data integrity between central database and Jurisdictions have to be maintained
Batch introduces discrepancy which would need to be addressed regularly

8. No Central Database

9. No Central Database eCredentials stored at the jurisdictions
Routing program / Enterprise Service Bus to receive request from Law Enforcement and route the request to appropriate jurisdiction

10. No Central Database - Considerations
Less development work for the Jurisdictions
No need for a centralized database; no associated data storage costs
Avoids data integrity issues
Law enforcement receives data in real time

11. Pointer System
Pointers to eCredentials stored in the Central Pointer Database
Jurisdictions update pointer data real time
eCredentials System will consist of:
A pointer database
Process to update the pointers
An application to process inquiries from Law Enforcement

12. Pointer System - Considerations
More development work for the Jurisdictions
Need for a central pointer database and associated data storage cost
Pointer system could keep history of the vehicle credential movement
Law enforcement receives data in real time

13. Summary Centralized Database No Central Database Pointer System
NO real time data exchange
Incurs data storage costs
No Central Database
Real time data exchange
Does not incur data storage costs
Use if LE user knows the Jurisdiction holding the credentials
Pointer System
Real time data exchange
Incurs data storage costs
Use if LE user does not know the Jurisdiction holding the credentials

14. Expertise Needed IT Technical (various expertise levels)
Regulatory and Legal
Plan and Agreement changes
Jurisdictional legislative changes
Roadside enforcement
Deskside administrative
Deskside audit
Industry (national and jurisdictional)

15. Challenges
Privacy
Buy in / benefits, etc.
Financial
Political
Time and resource justification
Connectivity

16. Challenges (continued)
Organizational support (financial, politically)
Managing expectation
Data quality
Level/even playing field
Getting multiple levels of industry involved
