National ITS Architecture Functional Requirements
associated with VDOT MPSTOC SSP Vehicles:

TMC Service Patrol Management

1. The center shall track the location and status of service patrol vehicles.
2. The center shall share incident information collected by the service patrol with traffic, maintenance and construction, and traveler information centers for incident management, incident notification to travelers, and incident cleanup.
3. The center shall store the current status of all service patrol vehicles available for dispatch and those that have been dispatched.
4. The center shall dispatch roadway service patrol vehicles to identified incident locations.

EV On-Board En Route Support

1. The emergency vehicle shall send the current en route status (including estimated time of arrival) and requests for emergency dispatch updates.
2. The emergency vehicle, including roadway service patrols, shall receive incident details and a suggested route when dispatched to a scene.
3. The emergency vehicle, including roadway service patrols, shall send the vehicle's location and operational data to the center for emergency management and dispatch.

Emergency Incident Command

1. The center shall assess the status of responding emergency vehicles as part of an incident command.
2. The center shall provide tactical decision support, resource coordination, and communications integration for first responders to support local management of an incident.
3. The center shall provide incident command communications with public safety, emergency management, transportation, and other allied response agency centers.
4. The center shall track and maintain resource information and action plans pertaining to the incident command.
5. The center shall share incident command information with other public safety agencies including resource deployment status, hazardous material information, rail incident information, evacuation advice as well as traffic, road, and weather conditions.

EV On-Board Incident Management Communication

1. The emergency vehicle shall receive dispatch instructions sufficient to enable emergency personnel in the field to implement an effective incident response. It includes local traffic, road, and weather conditions, hazardous material information, and the current status of resources that have been allocated to an incident.
2. The emergency vehicle shall provide an interface to the center for emergency personnel to transmit information about the incident site such as the extent of injuries, identification of vehicles and people involved, hazardous material, etc.
3. The emergency vehicle shall provide an interface to the center for emergency personnel to transmit information about the current incident response status such as the identification of the resources on site, site management strategies in effect, and current clearance status.
