Status of incident scene safety monitoring and warning devices. This flow documents system activations and includes additional supporting information (e.g., an image) that allows verification of the alarm.
lane management control (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Information used to configure and control dynamic lane management systems.
lane management information (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
System status of managed lanes including current operational state, violations, and logged information. This includes lane usage information including both traditional traffic flow measures and special information associated with managed lanes such as measured passenger occupancies. It also includes the operational status of the lane management equipment.
local situation data (Existing)
This general flow represents the traffic, environmental, and emissions situation data that is collected from connected vehicles by an RSE, aggregated, filtered, and provided to a back-office center. It also includes data collected from ITS roadway equipment that provides current intersection and road network status for the area proximate to the RSE.
passive vehicle monitoring control (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Control commands used to control detection systems that rely on infrastructure-based identification of individual vehicles to measure travel times and other related measures by identifying the same vehicle at different points in the network. Related technologies include bluetooth readers and license plate recognition systems.
passive vehicle monitoring data (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Time stamped identifiers that identify the vehicles that have passed through a detection zone.
right-of-way request notification (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Notice that a request has occurred for signal prioritization, signal preemption, pedestrian call, multi-modal crossing activation, or other source for right-of-way.
roadside archive data (Existing) Applicable ITS Standards
A broad set of data derived from roadside sensors that includes current traffic conditions, environmental conditions, and any other data that can be directly collected by roadside sensors. This data also indicates the status of the sensors and reports of any identified sensor faults.
roadway dynamic signage data (Existing) Applicable ITS Standards
Information used to initialize, configure, and control roadside systems that provide driver information (e.g., dynamic message signs, highway advisory radio). 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 remote management of these systems.
roadway dynamic signage status (Existing) Applicable ITS Standards
Current operating status of dynamic message signs, highway advisory radios, or other configurable field equipment that provides dynamic information to the driver.
roadway warning system control (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Information used to configure and control roadway warning systems.
roadway warning system status (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Current operating status of roadway warning systems.
shoulder management control (Future) Applicable ITS Standards
Information used to configure and control systems that allow use of a shoulder as a lane for vehicular traffic.
shoulder management information (Future) Applicable ITS Standards
System status including current operational state, violations and logged information.
signal control commands (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Control of traffic signal controllers or field masters including clock synchronization.
signal control device configuration (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Data used to configure traffic signal control equipment including local controllers and system masters.
signal control plans (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Traffic signal timing parameters including minimum green time and interval durations for basic operation and cycle length, splits, offset, phase sequence, etc. for coordinated systems.
signal control status (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Operational and status data of traffic signal control equipment including operating condition and current indications.
signal fault data (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Faults reported by traffic signal control equipment.
signal system configuration (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Data used to configure traffic signal systems including configuring control sections and mode of operation (time based or traffic responsive).
situation data collection parameters (Planned)
The parameters that are used to control the flow of situation data from the RSE. This flow identifies the type of data/snapshots that are requested from passing vehicles and reporting parameters such as snapshot frequency, filtering criteria (data thresholds for reporting), and reporting interval that control the type and volume of data reported to the back office center.
traffic detector control (Existing) Applicable ITS Standards
Information used to configure and control traffic detector systems such as inductive loop detectors and machine vision sensors.
traffic detector data (Existing) Applicable ITS Standards
Raw and/or processed traffic detector data which 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 sensor system.
traffic images (Existing) Applicable ITS Standards
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 and meta data that describes the images.
traffic metering control (Existing) Applicable ITS Standards
Control commands and operating parameters for ramp meters, interchange meters, mainline meters, and other systems equipment associated with roadway metering operations.
traffic metering status (Existing) Applicable ITS Standards
Current operational status and operating parameters for ramp meters, interchange meters, mainline meters and other control equipment associated with roadway metering operations.
traffic monitoring application info (Planned)
Traffic monitoring application parameters and thresholds that control the filtering, aggregation, and range of measures that are collected, derived, and reported. This flow also supports remote control of the application so the application can be taken offline, reset, or restarted.
