Advanced Messaging Concept Development Basic Mobility Control Message

datahub.transportation.gov | Last Updated 13 May 2024

Contains all Basic Mobility Control Message (BMCMs) generated during the Advanced Messaging Concept Development (AMCD) field testing program. While there is no specific standard in existence that addresses the content of a BMCM, the following format was derived to control the configuration and content of BMMs requested from the vehicle. All BMCMs are generated by the VCC Cloud server and transmitted to OBU clients through either a DSRC or cellular communications channel.

This dataset has the following 16 columns:

Column NameAPI Column NameData TypeDescriptionSample Values
Message IDmessage_idnumber: BMMs are sent from the OBU packed into a container message that can contain up to four separate data snapshots. This is the ID of the container message that contained the BMM as it was transmitted to the server.
Time Senttime_sentnumberThe time at which the message was sent from the VCC Cloud server to the OBU in milliseconds UTC time.
OBU IDobu_idnumberThe ID of the OBU that received the message for the current communication sequence.
Time Receivedtime_receivedtextThe time at which the message was received by the OBU in milliseconds UTC time. Empty
Mode of Transmissionmode_of_transmissionnumberAn indication of which mode of transmission was used to transmit the message (DSRC or Cellular). If received via DSRC: 1 through 114 = The ID of the RSU used to forward the message to the server If received via cellular: 999999 = Cellular
Requested BMM Datarequested_bmm_datatextThe status of all possible BMM data element request flags. This data item is a 24-bit field where, if a bit is set equal to one, the data element will be returned in BMMs generated by the receiving OBE. Bit0 = Lights Status Bit1 = Unused Bit2 = Wiper Status Bit3 = Braking System, Traction Control System, and Stability Control System Status Bit4 = Unused Bit5 = Unused Bit6 = Unused Bit7 = Precipitation Sensor Status Bit8 = Ambient Air Temperature Bit9 = Atmospheric Pressure Bit10 = Unused Bit11 = Unused Bit12 = Unused Bit13 = Unused Bit14 = Unused Bit15 = Unused Bit16 = Unused Bit17 = Unused Bit18 = Unused Bit19 = Unused Bit20 = Unused Bit21 = Unused Bit22 = Unused Bit23 = Unused
Periodic Triggeringperiodic_triggeringnumberThe requested rate of trigger evaluation frequency. 0 = 0 sec (off) 1 = 300 sec 2 = 120 sec 3 = 90 sec 4 = 60 sec 5 = 30 sec 6 = 15 sec 10 = 1 sec (1Hz) 11 = 0.5 sec (2Hz) 12 = 0.2 sec (5Hz) 13 = 0.1 sec (10Hz) 14 = 0.01 sec (100Hz)
Event Triggeringevent_triggeringtextThe requested event trigger type. Bit0 = Unused Bit1 = Unused Bit2 = ABS Activated Bit3 = Traction Control Loss Bit4 = Stability Control Activated Bit5 = Unused Bit6 = Unused Bit7 = Hard Braking Bit8 = Lights Changed Bit9 = Wipers Changed Bit10 = Unused Bit11 = Unused Bit12 = Unused Bit13 = Unused Bit14 = Unused Bit15 = Unused
Triggering Latitudetriggering_latitudenumberThe latitude of the center of the triggering geo area in degrees.
Triggering Longitudetriggering_longitudenumberThe longitude of the center of the triggering geo area in degrees.
Triggering Rangetriggering_rangenumberThe range from the center (radius) of the trigger geo area in which the trigger will fire in centimeters.
Triggering Statustriggering_statusnumberThe status of the requested triggering control parameter. 0 = None 1 = Start Only 2 = Stop Only 3 = Start and Stop
Requested Transmission Moderequested_transmission_modenumberThe type of data transmission mode requested. 0 = None 1 = DSRC 2 = Cellular 3 = DSRC and Cellular
BMM Packbmm_packnumberThe number of BMMs per packet (valid values are 1–4).
BMCM Timeoutbmcm_timeoutnumberThe number of seconds the BMCM request shall remain active.
Test No.test_nonumberThe AMCD test number the data was collected during
