This is an SAE Motor Vehicle Council draft document of the DSRC committee, subject to change.
commonly change based on triggering events in many types of signaling systems, the value provided in the
SPAT message may represent a minimal value that is extended and updated as the message is re-issued
each time.
3.43 interval sequence: 3.48 interval sequence: The order of appearance of signal indications during
successive intervals of a signal cycle.
3.44 ITIS: International Traveler Information Systems, the term commonly associated with the standard for
incident phrases developed by the SAE ATIS Committee in conjunction with ITE TMDD and other
standards.  This work contains a wide variety of standard phrases to describe incidents and is expected to be
used throughout the ITS industry.  The codes found there can be used for sorting and classifying types of
incident events, as well as creating uniform human readable phrases.  In the capacity of classifying incident
types, ITIS phrases are used in many areas.  ITIS phrases can also be freely mixed with text and used to
describe many incidents.
3.45 lane: In the context of this standard a lane is a portion of the transportation network (typically a
section of roadway geometry) which is being described (its paths and various attributes about it) or referred
to.  In the DSRC message set, the lane object is widely used.  Lanes consist not only of sections of
“drivable” roadway trasversed by motor vehicles, but other types of lanes including pedestrian and bicycle
walkways, trains and transit lanes, and certain types of dividers and barriers.  When used in describing an
intersection, a lane is defined for each possible path into and out of the intersection (in the MAP message),
and the current signal phase (and therefore the allowed movements) then applicable to that lane or its
approach is provided in the SPAT message.
3.46 lane-use control signal: A signal face displaying signal indications to permit or prohibit the use of
specific lanes of a roadway or to indicate the impending prohibition of such use.
3.47 link: A service channel being used in support of application data transfer needs.
3.48 management plane: The collection of functions performed in support of the communication system
operation, but not directly involved in passing application data.
3.49 message: A well structured set of data elements and data frame that can be sent as a unit between
devices to convey some semantic meaning in the context of the applications about which this standard
deals.
3.50 message set: A collection of messages based on the ITS functional-area they pertain to.  This DSRC
standard is also a message set.
3.51 message set extender: The concept of a message set extender refers to the process of adding
additional data elements to a common (non-changing) core message in order to extend the basic core
message structure to create messages for specific applications needs.
3.52 metadata: Data that defines and describes other data.
3.53 networking services: The collection of management plane and data plane function at the network
layer and transport layer, supporting WAVE communications.
