Information Flow Definitions

barrier system coordination (Existing) Selected Comm Solution

The direct flow of information between field equipment. This includes information used to configure and control barrier systems that are represented by gates, barriers and other automated or remotely controlled systems used to manage entry to roadways. Current operating status of barrier systems is also shared including operating condition and current operational state.

dynamic sign coordination (Existing) Selected Comm Solution

The direct flow of information between field equipment. This includes information used to initialize, configure, and control dynamic message signs. This flow can provide message content and delivery attributes, local message store maintenance requests, control mode commands, status queries, and all other commands and associated parameters that support local management of these devices. Current operating status of dynamic message signs is returned.

environmental sensor coordination (Existing) Selected Comm Solution

The direct flow of information between field equipment. This includes configuration and control of environmental sensors and the current road conditions (e.g., surface temperature, subsurface temperature, moisture, icing, treatment status) and surface weather conditions (e.g., air temperature, wind speed, precipitation, visibility) as measured and reported by fixed and/or mobile environmental sensors. Operational status of the sensors is also included.

local priority request coordination (Existing) Selected Comm Solution

The direct flow of information between field equipment. This includes notification of crossing calls from pedestrians and other vulnerable road users and requests for signal prioritization or preemption, and any other request for right-of-way at an intersection. The status of the priority request is also shared. For vulnerable road users, this includes information provided to guide and warn vulnerable road users at crossings including crossing permission status and crossing time remaining.

roadway warning coordination (Existing) Selected Comm Solution

The direct flow of information between field equipment. This includes information used to configure and control roadway warning systems and the current operating status of roadway warning systems.

signal control coordination (Existing) Selected Comm Solution

The direct flow of information between field equipment. This includes configuration and control of traffic signal controllers or field masters. Configuration data and operational status of traffic signal control equipment including operating condition and current indications are returned.

traffic detector coordination (Existing) Selected Comm Solution

The direct flow of information between field equipment. This includes information used to configure and control traffic detector systems such as inductive loop detectors and machine vision sensors Raw and/or processed traffic detector data is returned that allows derivation of traffic flow variables (e.g., speed, volume, and density measures) and associated information (e.g., congestion, potential incidents). This flow includes the traffic data and the operational status of the traffic detectors

traffic metering coordination (Existing) Selected Comm Solution

The direct flow of information between field equipment. This includes control commands and operating parameters for ramp meters, interchange meters, mainline meters, and other systems equipment associated with roadway metering operations. Current operational status of the traffic metering status is also provided.

variable speed limit coordination (Existing) Selected Comm Solution

The direct flow of information between field equipment. This includes information used to configure, control, and monitor variable speed limit systems including the equipment used to provide current speed limits and other information to drivers.

video surveillance coordination (Existing) Selected Comm Solution

The direct flow of information between field equipment. This includes information used to configure and control video surveillance systems and the high fidelity, real-time traffic images and associated meta data that are returned.
