      Document Description: The context of the NTCIP is one part of the Intelligent Transportation Systems standardization activities covering base standards, profiles, and registration mechanisms.

      • Base Standards define procedures and rules for providing the fundamental operations associated with communications and information that is exchanged over fixed-point communications links.
      • Profiles define subsets or combinations of base standards used to provide specific functions or services. Profiles prescribe particular subsets or options available in base standards necessary for accomplishing a particular function or service. This provides a basis for the development of uniform, nationally recognized conformance.
      • Registration Mechanisms provide a means to specify and uniquely identify detailed parameters within the framework of base standards and/or profiles.

      Within the Joint AASHTO/ITE/NEMA NTCIP Committee, the Profiles Working Group is concerned with the methodology of defining profiles, and their documentation in Standards Publications. This standard defines two communication class profiles, Class A and Class C, which are a combination of base standards and/or other profiles intended to meet specific requirements for information management and information transfer in roadside devices in a networked environment. This standard also discusses methods for integrating the existing Class B Profile with new profiles. The objective is to facilitate the specification of ITS systems characterized by a high degree of interoperability and interchangability of its components.

    Technical Paper(s):

      Class A Profile,
      Date Posted: 10/17/1998 11:01:52 PM
      Document Description: This document provides a draft specification of the Class A Profile for the NTCIP. The Class A Profile fulfills the need for a communications stack that supports routing. It is based on UDP, IP, and PMPP.
      Class C Profile,
      Date Posted: 10/17/1998 11:03:05 PM
      Document Description: This document provides a draft specification of the Class C Profile for the NTCIP. The Class C Profile fulfills the need for a communications stack that supports file transfer and sequencing as well as routing. It is based on TCP, IP, and PMPP.
