Project Functional Requirements (Element - Functional Object):

Carmel Engineering Department Operations - 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.
7: The center shall remotely control devices to detect traffic.

Carmel Engineering Department Operations - TMC Signal Control

1: The center shall remotely control traffic signal controllers.
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.
8: The center shall maintain traffic signal coordination including synchronizing clocks throughout the system.

Carmel Engineering Department Operations - TMC Traffic Information Dissemination

1: The center shall remotely control dynamic messages signs for dissemination of traffic and other information to drivers.

Carmel Roadside 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.

Carmel Roadside 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.
6: The field element shall return traffic signal controller operational status to the center.

Carmel Roadside Equipment - Roadway Traffic Information Dissemination

1: The field element shall include dynamic message signs for dissemination of traffic and other information to drivers, under center control; the DMS may be either those that display variable text messages, or those that have fixed format display(s) (e.g. vehicle restrictions, or lane open/close).
