Description: This module explains how the NTCIP Framework offers design solutions through use of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and the Simple Transportation Management Protocol (STMP) to fulfill operational needs, control and commands, and monitoring of range of field devices in ITS operations. This module introduces basic concepts of the International Organization of Standards (ISO) seven layers Open Systems Interconnection Reference Model (OSI-RM), and mapping to the five levels of the NTCIP Framework, which contain protocols for center-to-field (C2F) and center-to-center (C2C) communication. This module explains the application of these protocols in deploying field devices such as DMS, CCTV, and ASC without going into details on protocols constructs. The transportation field is also constrained with issues such as bandwidth, latency, and errors, which are concerns in transportation field deployments and are introduced in this module. This module also introduces the concepts of interoperability and interchangeability with NTCIP. Students are also introduced to standards such as NTCIP 1203 and 1103 to better understand STMP.

MODULE 62. CV273: Introduction to SPaT/MAP Messages (New 2021)
Get Started ➞
Description: Connected vehicles (CV), a component of the Cooperative Intelligent Transportation System (C-ITS) environment, have the potential to significantly reduce vehicular crashes, provide operators of surface transportation systems with more timely and accurate system performance data to better manage their systems, and provide travelers with access to specific traveler information. To achieve these benefits, it is essential that agencies use standards in deploying connected vehicle technologies to maximize the benefits from the connected vehicle environment. Proper deployment of standards will support interoperability, minimize future integration costs, make procurements easier, and facilitate regional and national integration.

MODULE 63. CV265: Introduction to IEEE 1609 Family of Standards for Wireless Access in a Vehicular Environments (WAVE) (New 2021)
Get Started ➞
Description: IEEE 1609 family of standards for Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) supports the DSRC communication technology deployed in conjunction with 5.9 GHz spectrum in a Connected Vehicle (CV) environment. These WAVE standards provide the basis for the design of CV safety and mobility applications and provide network services so that applications can be seamless without regard to specific manufacturers, including data storage access mechanisms, device management, and secure message passing.
IEEE 1609.0 (Guide)
The security protocols defined in IEEE 1609.2
The network-layer protocol defined in IEEE 1609.3 (WSMP), and IPv6 processing for non-critical (supplementary) ITS information
Provide extensions to the physical channel access defined in IEEE 802.11 to support the WAVE standards in IEEE 1609.4 (Multi-channel operation)
Network engineers, hardware engineers, and application designers supporting CV environment will gain further insight into WAVE standards as they cooperatively define the communications architecture for DSRC-based V2V and V2I interactions, and as the basis for the low-latency interface design of WAVE devices (OBU-ASD-RSU).

MODULE 64. CSE 202: Introduction to Cybersecurity for Transportation Agencies (New 2020)
Get Started ➞
Description: The Introduction to Cybersecurity for Transportation Agencies module provides an overview of key topics relating to cybersecurity for transportation agencies. This module first discusses the need for cybersecurity, including typical threats that transportation agencies face to their centers, field equipment, and communications. Next, the module introduces the NIST Cybersecurity Framework which enables organizations to apply the principles and best practices of risk management to improving security and resilience. The module then discusses how to apply the Framework to a transportation agency. Finally, the module looks at resources that are available to agencies for sharing information about cybersecurity threats and incidents. Additional resources on cybersecurity for the roadway transportation infrastructure are identified.

MODULE 66. CSE 201, Part 1: Introduction to Security Credentials Management System (SCMS) Part 1 of 2 (New 2021)
Get Started ➞
Description: This module explains how a Security Credential Management System (SCMS) is a critical component of ensuring trust while maintaining privacy in a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) ecosystem. In contrast to other types of safety technologies currently found in the vehicle fleet, connected vehicle applications are cooperative—meaning, vehicles must exchange and analyze authenticated messages in real time to realize the benefits of the system. The correctness and reliability of messages being transmitted between devices is of critical importance as it impacts the outcomes and effectiveness of safety applications based on them. Devices sending messages need to digitally sign their messages and the receiving devices need to verify the signature before acting on it. To protect the privacy of vehicle owners, the certificates used to sign the messages contain no personal or equipment-identifying information but serve as system credentials so that other users in the system can trust the source of each message. The SCMS also plays a key function in protecting the content of each message by identifying and removing misbehaving devices, while still maintaining privacy.

MODULE 67. CSE 201, Part 2 of 2: Introduction to Security Credentials Management System (SCMS) Part 2 of 2 (New 2021)
Get Started ➞
Description: SCMS is a form of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) that issues and manages the security certificates that form the basis of trust for V2X communications. The SCMS is distinguished from traditional PKI in several aspects—its size and the balance among security, privacy, and efficiency. V2X devices enroll into the SCMS after completing device certification processes that validate the devices as trusted players in the system; obtain security certificates from certificate authorities (CAs); and attach those certificates to their transmitted messages as part of a digital signature. Authorized system participants use digital certificates issued by the SCMS to authenticate and validate the safety and mobility messages that form the foundation for connected vehicle eco-system. As well as authorizing baseline application activities, these credentials provide special permissions to first responders to prioritize their V2X messages.
