ET Meeting Slides


	Orange Boxes: V-I enabled application components exist in three areas within the environment.
	1.Mobile: These components move around and are typically found in vehicles or devices carried into vehicles.
	2.Field: These components exist at the edge of the mobile components and provide the first point-of-contact between mobile components and those in the fixed infrastructure. These might be in roadside equipment, charging stations, cell towers, etc. There is often legacy equipment (Grey Boxes) at those same locations such as traffic signal controllers or electric vehicle chargers.
	3.Center: Application components will exist in servers out in the Internet. Those servers could be anywhere and could be dedicated to activities such as a traffic management center or could be in a general purpose server farm.

	Blue Lines: These are the communication paths between the application components. There are a number of physical media that could be used and a number of communication protocols that could be used.

	Purple Boxes and Lines: At the center of the application components and their communication paths is the Core System providing the means of satisfying the needs of the needs of the users.
