SC-02: Boundary Overlap Resolution
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Scenario ID | PER-003-SC-02 |
| Context / Trigger | The system detects that a neighboring county has updated their jurisdiction boundary, and the new boundary overlaps with David’s jurisdiction by approximately 4 square kilometers along a shared county line. Both jurisdictions have active rules for the overlapping area that produce conflicting outcomes: David’s rules require a TSA background check; the neighbor’s rules do not. |
Narrative
David receives an automated notification: “Jurisdiction Overlap Detected: UERQ-SYS-1561.” The notification identifies the overlapping area, the conflicting authority (Jefferson County), and the specific rule conflicts. David opens the overlap resolution interface.
The system presents a map showing both jurisdiction boundaries with the overlap highlighted. David can see the rules each jurisdiction has configured for the overlap area. He contacts his counterpart at Jefferson County through the out-of-band coordination channel (phone call — the system does not mediate this negotiation).
They agree that the overlap is a surveying error in Jefferson County’s boundary update. Jefferson County will correct their boundary. In the interim, they agree to escalate the overlap to the state DOT root authority for a precedence ruling. David submits the escalation request through the system, and the root authority assigns exclusive jurisdiction to David’s county for the disputed area pending correction [UERQ-SYS-1562].
Traceability
| Linked End Goals | Know immediately when a rule conflict is detected with a neighboring jurisdiction’s rules. |
| Linked Capabilities | Jurisdiction Overlap Detection (UERQ-SYS-1561), Overlap Resolution Workflow (UERQ-SYS-1562), Cross-Jurisdiction View Permission (UERQ-SYS-1591), root authority conflict resolution. |
| Safety Relevance | Yes: conflicting rules in the overlap area could produce inconsistent authorization decisions. Operators could receive approval from one authority and denial from the other for the same flight. |
