Project Information Flows:
Project Functional Requirements (Element - Functional Object):
-
County and City 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.
-
County and City Field Equipment - Roadway Field Management Station Operation
-
1: The field element shall accept configuration information from the center.
-
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.
-
County and City Field Equipment - Roadway Signal Control
-
1: The field element shall control traffic signals under center control.
-
18: The field element shall report right-of-way request impacts to signal timing (preemption, priority, pedestrian calls) to other field elements at adjacent intersections.
-
2: The field element shall respond to pedestrian crossing requests by accommodating the pedestrian crossing.
-
3: The field element shall provide the capability to notify the traffic management center of pedestrian calls and pedestrian accommodations.
-
4: The field element shall report the current signal control information to the center.
-
6: The field element shall return traffic signal controller operational status to the center.
-
7: The field element shall return traffic signal controller fault data to the center.
-
FDOT District 5 RTMC - TMC Regional Traffic Management
-
1: The center shall exchange traffic information with other traffic management centers including incident information, congestion data, traffic data, signal timing plans, and real-time signal control information.
-
2: The center shall exchange traffic control information with other traffic management centers to support remote monitoring and control of traffic management devices (e.g. signs, sensors, signals, cameras, etc.).
-
FDOT Shortcut System - TMC Basic Surveillance
-
2: The center shall monitor, analyze, and distribute traffic images from CCTV systems under remote control of the center.
-
5: The center shall respond to control data from center personnel regarding sensor and surveillance data collection, analysis, storage, and distribution.
-
FDOT Shortcut System - TMC Regional Traffic Management
-
1: The center shall exchange traffic information with other traffic management centers including incident information, congestion data, traffic data, signal timing plans, and real-time signal control information.
-
2: The center shall exchange traffic control information with other traffic management centers to support remote monitoring and control of traffic management devices (e.g. signs, sensors, signals, cameras, etc.).
-
FDOT Shortcut System - TMC Roadway Equipment Monitoring
-
1: The center shall collect and store sensor (traffic, pedestrian, multimodal crossing) operational status.
-
FDOT Shortcut System - TMC Signal Control
-
1: The center shall remotely control traffic signal controllers.
-
2: The center shall accept notifications of pedestrian calls.
-
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.
-
5: The center shall manage (define, store and modify) control plans to coordinate signalized intersections, to be engaged at the direction of center personnel or according to a daily schedule.
-
6: The center shall implement control plans to coordinate signalized intersections based on data from sensors.
