Information Flow Definitions

alert notification (Existing) Selected Comm Solution

Notification of a major emergency such as a natural or man-made disaster, civil emergency, or child abduction for distribution to the public. The flow identifies the alert originator, the nature of the emergency, the geographic area affected by the emergency, the effective time period, and information and instructions necessary for the public to respond to the alert. This flow may also identify specific information that should not be released to the public.

current infrastructure restrictions (Existing) Selected Comm Solution

Restrictions levied on transportation asset usage based on infrastructure design, surveys, tests, or analyses. This includes standard facility design height, width, and weight restrictions, special restrictions such as spring weight restrictions, and temporary facility restrictions that are imposed during maintenance and construction.

evacuation information (Existing) Selected Comm Solution

Evacuation instructions and information including evacuation zones, evacuation times, and reentry times.

freight traveler information preferences (Existing) Selected Comm Solution

Traveler information preferences from fleet and freight management systems or commercial vehicle drivers including: area covered by fleet/driver, types of freight managed (including special restrictions), preferred routes, other travel preferences pertaining to trip costs or tolls. Also covers revised trip planning requirements for trips already underway.

incident information for public (Existing) Selected Comm Solution

Report of current desensitized incident information prepared for public dissemination.

maint and constr work plans (Existing) Selected Comm Solution

Future construction and maintenance work schedules and activities including anticipated closures with anticipated impact to the roadway, alternate routes, anticipated delays, closure times, and durations.

road network conditions (Existing) Selected Comm Solution

Current and forecasted traffic information, road and weather conditions, and other road network status. Either raw data, processed data, or some combination of both may be provided by this flow. Information on diversions and alternate routes, closures, and special traffic restrictions (lane/shoulder use, weight restrictions, width restrictions, HOV requirements) in effect is included.

road weather information (Existing) Selected Comm Solution

Road conditions and weather information that are made available by road maintenance operations to other transportation system operators.

roadway maintenance status (Existing) Selected Comm Solution

Summary of maintenance fleet operations affecting the road network. This includes the status of winter maintenance (snow plow schedule and current status).

traffic images (Existing)

High fidelity, real-time traffic images suitable for surveillance monitoring by the operator or for use in machine vision applications. This flow includes the images. Meta data that describes the images is contained in another flow.

transportation system status (Existing) Selected Comm Solution

Current status and condition of transportation infrastructure (e.g., tunnels, bridges, interchanges, TMC offices, maintenance facilities). In case of disaster or major incident, this flow provides an assessment of damage sustained by the surface transportation system including location and extent of the damage, estimate of remaining capacity and necessary restrictions, and time frame for repair and recovery.

work zone information (Existing) Selected Comm Solution

Summary of maintenance and construction work zone activities affecting the road network including the nature of the maintenance or construction activity, location, impact to the roadway, expected time(s) and duration of impact, anticipated delays, alternate routes, and suggested speed limits. This information may be augmented with images that provide a visual indication of current work zone status and traffic impacts.
