National ITS Architecture Functional Requirements
associated with City of Richmond Traffic Operations Center Field Equipment:

Roadway Basic Surveillance

1. The field element shall collect, process, digitize, and send traffic sensor data (speed, volume, and occupancy) to the center for further analysis and storage, under center control.
2. The field element shall collect, process, and send traffic images to the center for further analysis and distribution.
3. The field element shall return sensor and CCTV system operational status to the controlling center.
4. The field element shall return sensor and CCTV system fault data to the controlling center for repair.

Roadway Signal Controls

1. The field element shall control traffic signals at intersections and on main highways for urban and rural areas, under center control.
2. The field element shall collect pedestrian images and pedestrian sensor data, and respond to pedestrian crossing requests via display, audio signal, or other manner.
3. The field element shall provide the capability to notify the traffic management center that a pedestrian has requested right-of-way and when the request was or will be granted (request for right-of-way).
4. The field element shall monitor operation of traffic signal controllers and report to the center any instances in which the indicator response does not match that expected from the indicator control information.
5. The field element shall monitor operation of traffic signal controllers and report to the center any instances in which the indicator response does not match that expected from known indicator preemptions.
6. The field element shall return traffic signal controller operational status to the controlling center.
7. The field element shall return traffic signal controller fault data to the maintenance center for repair.

Roadway Incident Detection

1. The field element shall collect, process, and send traffic images to the center for further analysis and distribution.
2. The field element's video devices shall be remotely controlled by a traffic management center.
3. The field element shall provide operational status and fault data for the incident detection devices to the traffic management center.

Roadway Field Device Monitoring

1. The field element shall monitor the operational status (state of the device, configuration, and fault data) of connected sensors (such as traffic, infrastructure, environmental, security, speed) and devices (such as highway advisory radio, dynamic message signs, automated roadway treatment systems, barrier and safeguard systems, cameras, traffic signals, ramp meters, short range communications equipment, security surveillance equipment).
2. The field element shall send collected fault data to the maintenance center for repair.
3. The field element shall include a local interface that provides operational status and fault data for connected field equipment to field personnel.
4. The field element shall include a local interface that allows field personnel to command diagnostic tests on connected field equipment.
