National ITS Architecture Functional Requirements
associated with RRA Center:

Emergency Secure Area Surveillance

1. The center shall verify potential security threats by correlating security surveillance data from multiple sources.
2. The center shall monitor maintenance status of the security sensor field equipment.
3. The center shall identify potential security threats based on collected security surveillance data.
4. The center shall exchange surveillance data with other emergency centers.
5. The center shall remotely monitor video images and audio surveillance data collected in traveler secure areas, which include transit stations, transit stops, rest areas, park and ride lots, and other fixed sites along travel routes (e.g., emergency pull-off areas and travel information centers). The data may be raw or pre-processed in the field.
6. The center shall remotely monitor video images and audio surveillance data collected in secure areas including facilities (e.g. transit yards) and transportation infrastructure (e.g. bridges, tunnels, interchanges, roadway infrastructure, and transit railways or guideways). The data may be raw or pre-processed in the field.

Parking Coordination

1. The parking element shall exchange parking management data with other parking facilities including location, hours, availability, status, lot usage, operating strategies, and charging information.
2. The parking element shall provide parking management data to traffic management centers upon request as part of the implementation of demand management programs in the region. This could include changes to hours of operation or pricing.

TIC Traveler Information Broadcast

1. The center shall disseminate weather information to travelers.
2. The center shall provide traffic and incident data to the media.
3. The center shall disseminate event information to travelers.
4. The center shall disseminate parking information to travelers, including location, availability, and fees.
5. The center shall disseminate traffic and highway condition information to travelers, including incident information, detours and road closures, event information, recommended routes, and current speeds on specific routes.

Emergency Response Management

1. The center shall allocate the appropriate emergency services, resources, and vehicle (s) to respond to incidents, and shall provide the capability to override the current allocation to suit the special needs of a current incident.
2. The center shall receive event scheduling information from Event Promoters.
3. The center shall provide information to the media concerning the status of an emergency response.
4. The center shall provide the capability for center personnel to provide inputs to the management of incidents, disasters and evacuations.
5. The center shall develop, coordinate with other agencies, and store emergency response plans.
6. The center shall manage coordinated inter-agency responses to and recovery from large-scale emergencies. Such agencies include traffic management, transit, maintenance and construction management, rail operations, and other emergency management agencies.
7. The center shall provide the capability to implement response plans and track progress through the incident by exchanging incident information and response status with allied agencies.

Emergency Incident Command

1. The center shall provide incident command communications with public safety, emergency management, transportation, and other allied response agency centers.
2. 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.

Parking Area Management

1. The parking element shall manage local dynamic message signs that display messages to travelers such as the parking lot state, number of spaces available, location of entrances, and current charges.
2. The parking element shall share information with a traffic management center to identify queues at entrances, exits that should be used, and other information that supports coordinated local traffic control in and around the parking facility.
3. The parking element shall maintain static parking lot information including hours of operation, rates, location, entrance locations, capacity, type, and constraints.

Emergency Secure Area Sensor Management

1. The center shall maintain the status of the security sensor field equipment.
2. The center shall perform threat analysis based on correlations of security sensor and surveillance data.
3. The center shall identify potential security threats based on collected security sensor data.
4. The center shall remotely monitor and control security sensor data collected in traveler secure areas, which include transit stations, transit stops, rest areas, park and ride lots, and other fixed sites along travel routes (e.g., emergency pull-off areas and travel information centers). The types of security sensor data include environmental threat (e.g. chemical agent, toxic industrial chemical, biological, explosives, and radiological sensors), intrusion and motion, and object detection sensors. The data may be raw or pre-processed in the field.
5. The center shall verify potential security threats by correlating security sensor data from multiple sources.
6. The center shall disseminate threat information to other agencies, including traffic, transit, maintenance, rail operations, and other emergency management centers.
7. The center shall respond to control data from center personnel regarding security sensor data collection, processing, threat detection, and threat analysis.
