Which one of these standards is NOT used in the Dallas ICM system?
Answer Choices
Slide 86:
Review of Answers
a) Message Sets for External TMC to TMC Communication (MS/ETMCC)
Incorrect. SmartNET and the Dallas Regional Center-to-Center system utilize the MS/ETMCC in the Dallas ICM system.
b) Transit Communication Interface Protocol (TCIP)
Incorrect. The DART Data Portal utilizes the TCIP for some of its data elements in the Dallas ICM system.
c) 511 Dissemination Interface
Correct! 511 Dissemination Interface is not used in the Dallas ICM system.
d) Traffic Management Data Dictionary (TMDD)
Incorrect. SmartNET utilizes TMDD version 2.1 as the basis of its data dictionary. The Dallas Regional Center-to-Center system is based on TMDD version 2.1, with some localization.
