National ITS Architecture Functional Requirements
associated with VDOT Midtown Elizabeth River Tunnel TOC Field Equipment:

Roadway Barrier System Control

1. The field element shall return barrier system operational status to the controlling center.
2. The field element shall return barrier system fault data to the maintenance center for repair.
3. The field element shall activate barrier systems for transportation facilities and infrastructure under center control. Barrier systems include automated or remotely controlled gates, barriers and other systems that manage entry to roadways.

Roadway Incident Detection

1. The field element shall collect, process, and send traffic images to the center for incident detection and further analysis.
2. The field element's video devices shall be remotely controlled by a traffic management center.
3. The field element shall provide operational status and fault data for the incident detection devices to the traffic management center.
4. The field element shall remotely process video data and provide an indication of potential incidents to the traffic management center.

Roadway Traffic Metering

1. The field element shall monitor operation of ramp, interchange, and mainline meters and report to the center any conflicts between received control plans and current system operation.
2. The field element shall return ramp, interchange, and mainline meter operational status to the controlling center.
3. The field element shall return ramp, interchange, and mainline meter fault data to the maintenance center for repair.
4. The field element shall provide indications to the driver that the metering system is active and provide safe transitions between active and inactive status.
5. The field element shall regulate the flow of traffic on ramps, interchanges, and the mainline, under center control.

Roadway Traffic Information Dissemination

1. The field element shall provide fault data for the driver information systems equipment (DMS, HAR, etc.) to the center for repair.
2. The field element shall provide operational status for the driver information systems equipment (DMS, HAR, etc.) to the center.
3. 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).

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 return sensor and CCTV system operational status to the controlling center.
3. The field element shall return sensor and CCTV system fault data to the controlling center for repair.
4. The field element shall collect, process, and send traffic images to the center for further analysis and distribution.

Roadway Field Device Support

1. The field element shall monitor the operational status of field devices and detects and reports fault conditions.
2. The field element shall detect and report any fault conditions with the equipment being monitored back to its controlling center.
3. The field element shall provide the capability for field personnel to locally control and configure this equipment.
4. The field element shall support an interface with field support equipment to accept installation of updates or configuration of field operations.
