6. We Need a Common Language

We Need a Common Language
A reference architecture is needed in response to managing the complexity of intelligent transportation systems that now include connected and automated vehicles.
ARC-IT models the intelligent transportation functions and communications on a number of levels
To develop and deploy the intelligent transportation systems that will realize the desired objectives, we need to use a common language so that the supporting systems present consistent communications and services no matter where the mobile devices are located or what agency is deploying the system applications. This presents complexity not only within the technology domain but institutionally as well. ARC-IT facilitates a common language for ITS stakeholders to define, design, develop and deploy transportation system applications. It models the ITS functions and communications so we can all understand how the pieces fit together and what dependencies exist.

Purpose of ARC-IT
To provide a common framework for planning, defining, and integrating intelligent transportation systems
Establish a Reference Architecture, known formerly as the National ITS Architecture
Provide the basis for regional and local implementation
Besides providing a common language, the purpose of ARC-IT is to establish a framework for ITS deployment. ARC-IT was developed by identifying ITS, including connected vehicle, needs and requirements, developing a multi-faceted architecture that addresses those needs, and using that architecture to prioritize candidate interfaces for standardization.

8. ARC-IT Views Used to capture stakeholders’ concerns

ARC-IT Views
Used to capture stakeholders’ concerns
Enterprises to carry out applications
Functions to satisfy requirements
Physical objects to implement that functionality
Communications protocols necessary
Focus of SET-IT
ARC-IT development followed the ISO/IEC/IEEE standard for Systems and Software Engineering – Architecture Description. This led to the definition of four views of ITS. An important view of ARC-IT is the enterprise view which defines how the applications are carried out. The functional view defines the functional foundation of the architecture that satisfies the connected vehicle requirements. The most familiar view of ARC-IT is the physical view which groups the functionality into physical objects that establish the interfaces for ITS. Finally, the communications view identifies the communication protocols needed to implement ITS.
The SET-IT tool focuses on using both the enterprise, physical, and communications views to develop ITS project architectures.

SET-IT
Systems Engineering Tool for Intelligent Transportation (SET-IT) supports tailored project architecture development based on ARC-IT
SET-IT focuses on the Physical, Communications, and Enterprise Views
* in version 8.0, the Enterprise View does not specify which relationships and roles are required to support service packages or information flow triples
ARC-IT addresses over 130 service packages in the areas of environmental, mobility, safety and support. Much like the Regional Architecture tool, RAD-IT, is used to tailor the National ITS Architecture or ARC-IT content, the SET-IT tool is used to tailor the ARC-IT content for project levels. The ARC-IT physical, communications, and enterprise view are central to tailoring and developing connected vehicle applications using the SET-IT tool.
