Functional Objects

Functional ObjectDescriptionUser Defined
CV On–board Driver Authentication'CV On–board Driver Authentication' monitors the identity of the commercial vehicle driver and compares it with the planned drivers for the commercial vehicle. Any change in driver is sent to the Fleet and Freight Management Center. Notification of any unexpected drivers will also be sent to the Fleet and Freight Management Center which, in turn, may send a disable vehicle command to cause the vehicle to stop. On receipt of a disable vehicle message from the Fleet and Freight Management Center or on detection of an unauthorized driver, the commercial vehicle will be safely disabled.False
CV On–Board Travel Information'CV On–Board Travel Information' provides the capabilities to receive commercial vehicle specific travel and parking information from centers and provide the information to the commercial vehicle driver. This functional object also provides the ability for the commercial vehicle driver to request a parking reservation.False
Vehicle Control Automation'Vehicle Control Automation' provides lateral and/or longitudinal control of a vehicle to allow 'hands off' and/or 'feet off' driving, automating the steering, accelerator, and brake control functions. It builds on the sensors included in 'Vehicle Safety Monitoring' and 'Vehicle Control Warning' and uses the information about the area surrounding the vehicle to safely control the vehicle. It covers the range of incremental control capabilities from driver assistance systems that take over steering or acceleration/deceleration in limited scenarios with direct monitoring by the driver to full automation where all aspects of driving are automated under all roadway and environmental conditions.False
Vehicle Emergency Notification'Vehicle Emergency Notification' provides the capability for drivers or collision detection sensors to report an emergency and summon assistance. It gathers data from on–board collision detection sensors, provides a mechanism for the driver to summon assistance, and includes a communications capability to report the collision including indicators of collision severity, the number of passengers involved, and information about the vehicle that may affect the response.False
Vehicle Environmental Monitoring'Vehicle Environmental Monitoring' collects data from on–board sensors and systems related to environmental conditions and sends the collected data to the infrastructure as the vehicle travels. The collected data is a byproduct of vehicle safety and convenience systems and includes ambient air temperature and precipitation measures and status of the wipers, lights, ABS, and traction control systems.False
Vehicle Location Determination'Vehicle Location Determination' receives current location of the vehicle and provides this information to vehicle applications that use the location information to provide ITS services.False
Vehicle Secure Area Access System'Vehicle Secure Area Access System' provides access to secure areas such as shipping yards, warehouses, airports, transit–only ramps, parking gates and other areas. It accepts inputs from the vehicle driver that include the necessary identity information and uses this information to generate the request to activate a barrier to gain access to the area.False
Vehicle Traveler Information Reception'Vehicle Traveler Information Reception' receives advisories, vehicle signage data, and other driver information of use to all types of vehicles and drivers and presents this information to the driver using in–vehicle equipment. Information presented may include fixed sign information, traffic control device status (e.g., signal phase and timing data), advisory and detour information, warnings of adverse road and weather conditions, travel times, and other driver information.False
