corridor operational strategies Quintuple

Bidirectional?: False

corridor operational strategies (A-Interconnect): This CVRIA application interconnect encapsulates all of the Layer 2 information flows between two application objects: 'TIC Corridor Decision Support System', and 'Emissions Zone Management'. In this case, there is only a single Layer 2 flow associated with this interconnect, so the Layer 1 application interconnect name and the Layer 2 information flow name are both 'corridor operational strategies'. This application interconnect is uni-directional since the underlying layer 2 information flows go from 'Transportation Information Center' to 'Emissions Management Center'.

Transportation Information Center (Source Physical Object): The 'Transportation Information Center' collects, processes, stores, and disseminates transportation information to system operators and the traveling public. The physical object can play several different roles in an integrated ITS. In one role, the TIC provides a data collection, fusing, and repackaging function, collecting information from transportation system operators and redistributing this information to other system operators in the region and other TICs. In this information redistribution role, the TIC provides a bridge between the various transportation systems that produce the information and the other TICs and their subscribers that use the information. The second role of a TIC is focused on delivery of traveler information to subscribers and the public at large. Information provided includes basic advisories, traffic and road conditions, transit schedule information, yellow pages information, ride matching information, and parking information. The TIC is commonly implemented as a website or a web-based application service, but it represents any traveler information distribution service.

TIC Corridor Decision Support System (Source Application Object): The "TIC Corridor Decision Support System" is a data-fusion system that collects information from various multimodal systems. Data from these systems is then used to determine operational strategies for arterials, freeways, and transit that minimize the environmental impact of the corridor. It may recommend eco-signal timing plans, eco-ramp metering strategies, eco-speed limits, and recommendations for increased transit service.

Emissions Management Center (Destination Physical Object): The 'Emissions Management Center' provides the capabilities for air quality managers to monitor and manage air quality. These capabilities include collecting emissions data from distributed emissions sensors (included in ITS Roadway Equipment in CVRIA) and directly from connected vehicles. The sensors monitor general air quality and also monitor the emissions of individual vehicles on the roadway. The measures are collected, processed, and used to support environmental monitoring applications.

Emissions Zone Management (Destination Application Object): "Emissions Zone Management" identifies existing and potential emissions hot spots and coordinates with transportation agencies and their systems to establish low emissions zones to manage air quality in these areas. Through this coordination, the geographic boundary, restrictions, and pricing for the low emissions zone are established and adjusted.
