Maintenance and Construction for Virginia CR ITS Architecture

• Send the location of the maintenance and construction vehicles and other equipment to the maintenance center operator.
• Collect current and forecast road and weather information that is used to more effectively manage incidents.
• Plan strategically for emergency response.
• Tracks the location of maintenance and construction vehicles and other equipment remotely.
• Monitor and remotely diagnose field equipment issues including detecting failures, issuing problem reports, and tracking the repair or replacement of failed equipment.
• Formulate an incident response that takes into account the incident potential, incident impacts, and/or resources required for incident management including proposing and facilitating the dispatch of emergency response and service vehicles.
• Coordinate incident response with all appropriate cooperating agencies.
• Share information with other public safety agencies via the Emergency Operations Centers to support large-scale incidents and disasters.

• Coordinate incident response with all appropriate cooperating agencies.
• Collect road surface information including road surface temperature, moisture, ice formation, and salinity from environmental sensors, surface and sub-surface.
• Plan strategically for emergency response.
• Collect weather information including temperature, wind, humidity, precipitation, and visibility from environmental sensors, surface and sub-surface.

• Operate and maintain environmental sensors.
• Formulate an incident response that takes into account the incident potential, incident impacts, and/or resources required for incident management including proposing and facilitating the dispatch of emergency response and service vehicles.
• Monitor and control traffic and provide information directly to drivers in maintenance and construction areas using field equipment including CCTV cameras, driver information systems (such as DMS), and gates/barriers.
• Operate and maintain field equipment that controls and sends data to other field equipment (such as environmental sensors that send data to a DMS or coordination between traffic controllers on adjacent intersections), without being controlled from a center.
• Assimilate collected environmental data with other current and forecast road conditions and surface weather information from weather service providers and roadway maintenance operations.
• Provide enroute travel information to drivers (via dynamic message signs and highway advisory radio).
• Coordinate incident response with all appropriate cooperating agencies.

• Process current and forecast weather data, road condition information and local environmental data, and use internal models to develop specialized detailed forecasts of local weather and surface conditions.
• Coordinate work schedules, factoring in the needs and activities of other agencies and adjacent jurisdictions.
• Disseminate road weather information to other agencies and centers.
• Monitor and support work zone activities remotely, controlling traffic through dynamic message signs (DMS), highway advisory radio, gates and barriers, and informing other groups of activity (e.g., traveler information systems, traffic management centers, other maintenance and construction centers).
• Disseminate work activity schedules and current asset restrictions to other agencies.

• Disseminate work activity schedules and current asset restrictions to other agencies.
• Track vehicle location using on-board systems and report the position and timestamp information to the maintenance dispatch center.
• Support routine non-winter maintenance on the roadway or right-of-way , such as landscape maintenance, hazard removal (roadway debris, dead animals), routine maintenance activities (roadway cleaning, grass cutting), and repair and maintenance of field equipment, using systems on-board a maintenance vehicle.
• Coordinate work schedules, factoring in the needs and activities of other agencies and adjacent jurisdictions.
• Monitor and support work zone activities remotely, controlling traffic through dynamic message signs (DMS), highway advisory radio, gates and barriers, and informing other groups of activity (e.g., traveler information systems, traffic management centers, other maintenance and construction centers).
• Monitor the condition of each of the vehicle systems and diagnostics that can be used to support vehicle maintenance using on-board sensors.
• Support snow plow operations and other roadway treatments (e.g., salt spraying and other material applications) using systems on-board a maintenance vehicle.
• Supports information sharing between maintenance vehicles including snow plows.

• Distribute work plans so that work zones are established that have minimum traffic impact.
• Formulate an incident response that takes into account the incident potential, incident impacts, and/or resources required for incident management including proposing and facilitating the dispatch of emergency response and service vehicles.
• Coordinate incident response with all appropriate cooperating agencies.
• Coordinate with maintenance systems using work zone images and traveler information systems (such as DMS).
