1.4.1: Provide Traffic Operations Personnel Demand Interface
This process shall provide the interface between the traffic operations personnel and the processes and data stores used within the Manage Demand facility of the Manage Traffic function. It shall enable the traffic operations personnel to access the data used as input by the demand forecasting process and the results of that process, to request that the input data be updated, set the policies used as input to the Calculate Forecast Demand process, to request that the demand forecasting process runs, to run the process that implements the results, and to set threshold parameters for detecting imbalances in the corridor network. Where appropriate and/or requested by the traffic operations personnel, the process shall provide the output in a form that includes a map of the relevant part(s) of the road and freeway network served by the Manage Travel Demand function. The process shall obtain the map from a local data store, which it shall request to be updated by another process when required.
