Physical Object Class Description
Commercial Vehicle Administration Center Center The 'Commercial Vehicle Administration Center' performs administrative functions supporting credentials, tax, and safety regulations associated with commercial vehicles. It issues credentials, collects fees and taxes, and supports enforcement of credential requirements. It communicates with motor carriers to process credentials applications and collect fuel taxes, weight/distance taxes, and other taxes and fees associated with commercial vehicle operations. It also receives applications for, and issues special Oversize/Overweight and HAZMAT permits in coordination with cognizant authorities. It coordinates with other Commercial Vehicle Administration Centers (in other states/regions) to support nationwide access to credentials and safety information for administration and enforcement functions. It communicates with field equipment to enable credential checking and safety information collection at the roadside. It makes safety information available to qualified stakeholders to identify carriers and drivers that operate unsafely.
Commercial Vehicle Driver Vehicle The 'Commercial Vehicle Driver' represents the people that operate vehicles transporting goods, including both long haul trucks and local pick-up and delivery vans. This physical object is complementary to the Driver physical object in that it represents those interactions which are unique to Commercial Vehicle Operations. Information flowing from the Commercial Vehicle Driver includes those system inputs specific to Commercial Vehicle Operations.
Commercial Vehicle OBE Vehicle The Commercial Vehicle On-Board Equipment (OBE) resides in a commercial vehicle and provides the sensory, processing, storage, and communications functions necessary to support safe and efficient commercial vehicle operations. It provides two-way communications between the commercial vehicle drivers, their fleet managers, attached freight equipment, and roadside officials. A separate 'Vehicle OBE' physical object supports vehicle safety and driver information capabilities that apply to all vehicles, including commercial vehicles. The Commercial Vehicle OBE supplements these general ITS capabilities with capabilities that are specific to commercial vehicles.
Commercial Vehicle Service Provider Center Center The 'Commercial Vehicle Service Provider Center' is an Australia-specific physical object that provides data exchange and commercial vehicle tracking services to other parties involved in commercial vehicle management. It also manages CV OBEs and the operational software on those devices.
Fleet and Freight Management Center Center The 'Fleet and Freight Management Center' provides the capability for commercial drivers and fleet-freight managers to receive real-time routing information and access databases containing vehicle and/or freight equipment locations as well as carrier, vehicle, freight equipment and driver information. The 'Fleet and Freight Management Center' also provides the capability for fleet managers to monitor the safety and security of their commercial vehicle drivers and fleet.

In order to participate in this service package, each information flow triple should meet or exceed the following security levels.

Information Flow Security
Source Destination Information Flow Confidentiality Integrity Availability
Basis Basis Basis
Commercial Vehicle Administration Center Commercial Vehicle Service Provider Center commercial vehicle permit information Moderate Moderate Moderate
Indicates company and individual vehicle permitting information, which is competitive commercial data. Observation of this information could provide leverage or business advantage over a particular carrier. If incorrect a vehicle or carrier may be misled about what permits it has or needs, resulting in a potential for being improperly permitted and penalized. MODERATE and not HIGH because the impact is likely to be limited and can likely be easily addressed. If this flow is inconsistently available there is probably little harm. It may be required for real-time CVO checking action, but the effect will apply to only one or at most, a limited number of drivers at a given location.

If incorrect a vehicle or carrier may be misled about what permits it has or needs, resulting in a potential for being improperly permitted and penalized. MODERATE and not HIGH because the impact is likely to be limited and can likely be easily addressed. If this flow is inconcistently available there is probably little harm. It should not be required for real-time response.
Commercial Vehicle Driver Commercial Vehicle OBE cv driver input Moderate Moderate Moderate
Commercial Vehicle Operations human interfaces should not be casually viewable for competitive and physical security reasons. Data should be correct as it relates to CVO, however there is generally another mechanism to double-check this data, which is why it is MODERATE and not HIGH. Flow should be available as it relates to CVO, however there is generally another mechanism through which this data might be received, which is why it is MODERATE and not HIGH.
Commercial Vehicle OBE Commercial Vehicle Driver driver operations feedback Not Applicable Moderate Moderate
This data is informing the driver about the operations of the vehicle. It should not contain anything sensitive, and does not matter if another person can observe it. Data should be correct as it relates to CVO, however there is generally another mechanism to double-check this data, which is why it is MODERATE and not HIGH. Flow should be available as it relates to CVO, however there is generally another mechanism through which this data might be received, which is why it is MODERATE and not HIGH.
Commercial Vehicle OBE Commercial Vehicle Service Provider Center combination declarations Moderate Moderate Moderate
Customs-related data should not be casually viewable for competitive and physical security reasons. Data should be correct as it relates to CVO, however there is generally another mechanism to double-check this data, which is why it is MODERATE and not HIGH. Flow should be available as it relates to CVO.
Commercial Vehicle OBE Commercial Vehicle Service Provider Center mass declarations Moderate Moderate Low
This contains characteristics of the load, which may be competitive. If intercepted by a competitor or other third party with interest, could be used in anti-competitive fashion. Impact limited to the business of the operator/carrier so compromised however, so limited to MODERATE. Since this is used for regulatory purposes, receiver should be assured of correctness. If this were intercepted and modified or corrupted, the operator may be incorrectly accused of regulatory violation, which would impact his business. Limited in scope to the operator so compromised. Probably does not need to be updated often; so long as it can be instantiated occasionally, likely no impact on loss of this flow.
Commercial Vehicle OBE Commercial Vehicle Service Provider Center on-board vehicle data Moderate Moderate Moderate
Contains identifiers, location and other data related to freight systems. Interception of this information would compromise the owner and/or operator of the commercial vehicle. Sensitivity of data will vary depending on what is being requested and what the commercial vehicle is carrying. In the most extreme case this could be data describing the condition of a hazardous material, which should be correct and timely to avoid the OBE Service Provider erroneously taking emergency-related actions. Sensitivity of data will vary depending on what is being requested and what the commercial vehicle is carrying. In the most extreme case this could be data describing the condition of a hazardous material, which should be correct and timely to avoid the FFMC erroneously taking emergency-related actions.
Commercial Vehicle Service Provider Center Commercial Vehicle Administration Center commercial vehicle permit information Moderate Moderate Moderate
Indicates company and individual vehicle permitting information, which is competitive commercial data. Observation of this information could provide leverage or business advantage over a particular carrier. If incorrect the CVAC and OBE SP may not have correct information from one another, resulting in permitting inconsistencies and likely lead to confusion on the part of the permitting entities and the carriers, which will cost everyone involved time and money. MODERATE and not HIGH because the impact is likely to be limited and can likely be easily addressed. If this flow is inconsistently available there is probably little harm. It may be required for real-time CVO checking action, but the effect will apply to only one or at most, a limited number of drivers at a given location.
Commercial Vehicle Service Provider Center Commercial Vehicle Administration Center malfunction report Moderate Moderate Moderate
May include PII, identifying the vehicle and device. Malfunction reports will trigger repair-related actions, which if not taken will lead to an operator not properly monitored, and if taken in error will waste resources. Frequency is likely low, however when malfunctions happen this flow needs to operate or vehicles may not be properly repaired for extended periods. Considering the operating environment for many heavy vehicles, this could entail thousands of miles of operation without proper monitoring, which has a safety impact.
Commercial Vehicle Service Provider Center Commercial Vehicle Administration Center non-compliance report Moderate Moderate Low
Describes behavior that could result in action against a commercial vehicle operator or carrier, which is competitive. Will include some PII to identify the vehicle/operator/carrier in question. Since action may be taken against the vehicle/operator/carrier that is not in compliance, this requires some checking. If this information were falsified or corrupted, actions may be taken that would be inappropriate to the actual state. Likely that this does not require rapid response; so long as it eventually is provided.
Fleet and Freight Management Center Commercial Vehicle Administration Center request for permit Moderate Moderate Moderate
Indicates company and individual vehicle permitting information, which is competitive commercial data. Observation of this information could provide leverage or business advantage over a particular carrier. If incorrect the CVAC and its user may be misled about the permitting status of a vehicle or carrier, and consquently either penalize or fail to penalize the vehicle or carrier depending on his load, location and permit requirements. MODERATE and not HIGH because the impact is likely to be limited and can likely be easily addressed. If this flow drops out the CVAC operator will be affected and unable to process permitting and issue penalties as appropriate. Could be LOW, depending on the perceived importance of these actions.
