Project Information Flows: 
Project Functional Requirements (Element - Functional Object): 
  - 
Manatee County 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.
    
- 
4: The field element shall return sensor and CCTV system operational status to the controlling center.
    
  - 
Manatee County Field Equipment - Roadway Field Management Station Operation
  
    - 
2: The field element shall pass data provided by the center to local field devices and report data from the field devices back to the center.
    
  - 
Manatee County Field Equipment - Roadway Signal Control
  
    - 
1: The field element shall control traffic signals under center control.
    
- 
4: The field element shall report the current signal control information to the center.
    
- 
9: The field element shall report current intersection signal timing information to roadside equipment for transmission to connected vehicles.
    
  - 
Manatee-Sarasota Regional Traffic Management Center - TMC Basic Surveillance
  
    - 
1: The center shall monitor, analyze, and store traffic sensor data (speed, volume, occupancy) collected from field elements under remote control of the center.
    
- 
2: The center shall monitor, analyze, and distribute traffic images from CCTV systems under remote control of the center.
    
- 
4: The center shall distribute road network conditions data (raw or processed) based on collected and analyzed traffic sensor and surveillance data to other centers.
    
- 
5: The center shall respond to control data from center personnel regarding sensor and surveillance data collection, analysis, storage, and distribution.
    
- 
6: The center shall maintain a database of surveillance equipment and sensors and associated data (including the roadway on which they are located, the type of data collected, and the ownership of each).
    
- 
7: The center shall remotely control devices to detect traffic.
    
  - 
Manatee-Sarasota Regional Traffic Management Center - TMC Roadway Equipment Monitoring
  
    - 
2: The center shall collect and store CCTV surveillance system (traffic, pedestrian) operational status.
    
- 
3: The center shall collect and store sensor (traffic, pedestrian, multimodal crossing) fault data and send to the maintenance center for repair.
    
- 
4: The center shall collect and store CCTV surveillance system (traffic, pedestrian) fault data send to the maintenance center for repair.
    
  - 
Manatee-Sarasota Regional Traffic Management Center - TMC Signal Control
  
    - 
1: The center shall remotely control traffic signal controllers.
    
- 
3: The center shall collect traffic signal controller operational status and compare against the control information sent by the center.
    
- 
4: The center shall collect traffic signal controller fault data from the field.
    
- 
6: The center shall implement control plans to coordinate signalized intersections based on data from sensors.
    
- 
9: The center shall implement control plans to coordinate signalized intersections based on data from sensors and connected vehicles.
