to provide the alert.
alerts and advisories Assessments (general incident and vulnerability awareness information),
advisories (identification of threats or recommendations to increase
preparedness levels), and alerts (information on imminent or in-progress
emergencies). This flow also provides supporting descriptive detail on
incidents, threats, and vulnerabilities to increase preparedness and support
effective response to threats against the surface transportation system.

effective response to threats against the surface transportation system.
amber alert confirmation_ud The confirmation that the amber alert message was received, and the current
status of the amber alert.
amber alert_ud Amber alert information. Can be placed on dynamic message signs controlled
by a traffic management element.
archive coordination Catalog data, meta data, published data, and other information exchanged
between archives to support data synchronization and satisfy user data
requests.
archive requests A request to a data source for information on available data (i.e. "catalog") or a
request that defines the data to be archived. The request can be a general
subscription intended to initiate a continuous or regular data stream or a
specific request intended to initiate a one-time response from the recipient.
archive status Notification that data provided to an archive contains erroneous, missing, or
suspicious data or verification that the data provided appears valid. If an error
