This study highlights a security scenario involving vehicles in a Traffic Management
and Information System (TMIS) network. TMIS and its nodal architecture, nicknamed
Intelligent Junction (IJ), are summarized from our recent work. System design sets
an example to a software architecture implementing autonomous semantic agents through
semantic web services, junction-based sensor networks, local- and wide-area networking
through wire/wireless integrated communication infrastructure. It is so construed as to
provide (near-) real-time services throughout the network. This introduction is with reference
to the SOA of Cooperative Labyrinth Discovery Robotics and Traffic Management
and Information System Projects. This also takes up several issues including realtime
goal-oriented coordination of semantic web services. Especially described are its
essential functions crucial to aid security applications. A security scenario concerning
tracking and routing reported, say missing, vehicles is considered and shown how to graft
it onto TMIS network. Simulation results show promising outcomes. Performance of the
system in terms of mean response time is analytically derived. Simulation and analytical
results agree. Research involving similar development base is suggested.
