IEEE 1512.3-2006 PDF

This standard is a companion volume for IEEE Std 1512-2006, referred to here as the "Base Standard." This standard specifies messages, data frames, and data elements for communicating general and cargo information to other responders in support of real-time interagency transportation-related incident management. It addresses the unique disciplines associated with communications dealing with the control and confinement of hazardous materials during and after an incident. The Base Standard specifies messages, data frames, and data elements for the basic underlying communication involved in real-time interagency transportation-related incident management. Refer to the Base Standard for specification of the scope of the combination of the Base Standard and companion volumes such as this one. Together, the Base Standard and companion volumes shall be referred to as the "IEEE 1512 Family of Standards." Clause 5 and Clause 6 of this standard present the specified messages, data frames, and data elements in ASN.1 format and in XML formats. This standard provides a framework for the exchange of messages concerning cargo and content of vehicles and content of buildings involved in transportation-related events, to support the management of those events. The clearest examples of the need for these messages are in cases where the cargo and/or content include hazardous material or hazardous waste. However, these messages are also often needed where the cargo and/or content is nonhazardous, as described in 1.1. This standard is part of the IEEE 1512 Family of Standards. The purpose of that family of standards as a whole is presented in the Base Standard and will not be repeated here.In more detail, the purpose of this standard is to support the communication necessary to take the real world, available-information situation confronting the incident manager, and use off-site databases to make further information available to that manager, to best support this individual in managing the event. That calls for messages that support communications of whatever information is available, often quite partial, to off-site databases and resources, and (often) then among off-site databases and resources, to accomplish the following two decision-support functions: a) To retrieve further information about what the cargo and/or contents are, based on what are often quite partial cues available on site. That information is available in off-site databases managed by shippers, carriers, and fleet and freight management centers. b) To retrieve information about the characteristics of the cargo and/or contents that is important for incident management, such as toxicity, flammability, danger of explosion, size of a potential toxic plume, environmental damage, recommended set-back distances, and evacuation areas. Revision Standard - Inactive-Reserved. Revision of IEEE Std 1512.3-2002. This standard addresses the exchange of vital data about public safety issues involved in transportation-related events, through common incident management message sets. The message sets specified are consistent with the National Intelligent Transportation Systems Architecture and are described using Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1 or ASN) syntax. This standard comprises one companion volume of the family of incident management standards centered around a base standard: IEEE Std 1512-2006. Other members of that family include other companion volumes, specifying incident management message sets for transportation management-related data exchange and hazardous-material and public safety data exchange. Collectively, that family of standards shall be referred to as the IEEE 1512 Family of Standards. The goal of that family of standards is to support efficient communication for the real-time, interagency management of transportation-related events. Those events include incidents, emergencies, accidents, planned roadway closures, special events, and disasters caused by humans or natural events. Those events include any such event that impacts transportation systems or that causes a report to be received by an emergency management system, whether the event actually affects a transportation system and whether a response is required.
