barrier system status (Existing)
Current operating status of barrier systems. Barrier systems represent gates, barriers and other automated or remotely controlled systems used to manage entry to roadways. Status of the systems includes operating condition and current operational state.
environmental sensor control (Existing)
Data used to configure and control environmental sensors.
environmental sensor data (Existing)
Current road conditions (e.g., surface temperature, subsurface temperature, moisture, icing, treatment status) and surface weather conditions (e.g., air temperature, wind speed, precipitation, visibility) as measured and reported by fixed and/or mobile environmental sensors. Operational status of the sensors is also included.
environmental situation data (Existing)
Aggregated and filtered vehicle environmental data collected from vehicle safety and convenience systems including measured air temperature, exterior light status, wiper status, sun sensor status, rain sensor status, traction control status, anti–lock brake status, and other collected vehicle system status and sensor information. This information flow represents the aggregated and filtered environmental data sets that are provided by the RSE to the back office center. Depending on the RSE configuration and implementation, the data set may also include environmental sensor station data collected by the RSE.
field equipment status (Existing)
Reports from field equipment (sensors, signals, signs, controllers, etc.) which indicate current operational status.
road closure application info (Existing)
Road closure signing application configuration data and messaging parameters. This flow identifies the vehicles that may initiate the road closure. This flow also provides access lists, groups, or classifications where selected vehicles are to be allowed access to the closed area.
road closure application status (Existing)
Road closure application status reported by the RSE. This includes current operational state and status of the RSE, closure status, and a log of closure commands received and issued. For closures that allow entry by selected vehicles, this flow provides an access log identifying vehicles that have requested access with access status.
road weather advisory info (Existing)
Road weather advisories and associated configuration and control information that are used to manage the RSE. Advisories include segment–specific weather and road conditions including real–time advisories of deteriorating road and weather conditions, medium–term advisories for the next 2–12 hours, and long–term advisories more than 12 hours into the future. This flow includes a schedule for issuing the included advisories.
road weather advisory status (Existing)
Current RSE application status that is monitored by the back office center including the operational state of the RSE, current configuration parameters, and a log of advisories issued. The advisories may include advisories that are issued by the RSE based on locally collected environmental data (e.g., an ice on bridge advisory).
roadway advisory radio data (Existing)
Information used to initialize, configure, and control roadside highway advisory radio. This flow can provide message content and delivery attributes, local message store maintenance requests, control mode commands, status queries, and all other commands and associated parameters that support remote management of these systems.
roadway advisory radio status (Existing)
Current operating status of highway advisory radios.
roadway dynamic signage data (Existing)
Information used to initialize, configure, and control dynamic message signs. This flow can provide message content and delivery attributes, local message store maintenance requests, control mode commands, status queries, and all other commands and associated parameters that support remote management of these devices.
roadway dynamic signage status (Existing)
Current operating status of dynamic message signs.
roadway treatment system control (Planned)
Control data for remotely located, automated devices, that treat the road surface (e.g., de–icing applications).
roadway treatment system status (Planned)
Current operational status of automated roadway treatment devices (e.g., anti–icing systems).
safeguard system control (Existing)
Data that controls safeguard systems (remotely controlled equipment used to mitigate the impact of incidents on transportation infrastructure, such as blast shields, exhaust systems, etc.).
safeguard system status (Existing)
Current operating status of safeguard systems (remotely controlled equipment used to mitigate the impact of incidents on transportation infrastructure, such as blast shields, exhaust systems, etc.). Status of the systems includes operating condition and current operational state.
speed warning application info (Existing)
Roadway configuration data, current speed limits including time of day, week, or season speed limits as necessary, and warning parameters and thresholds. This flow also supports remote control of the application so the application can be taken offline, reset, or restarted.
speed warning application status (Existing)
Speed warning application status reported by the RSE. This includes current operational state and status of the RSE and a record of measured vehicle speeds and notifications, alerts, and warnings issued.
traffic detector control (Existing)
Information used to configure and control traffic detector systems such as inductive loop detectors and machine vision sensors.
traffic detector data (Existing)
Raw and/or processed traffic detector data which allows derivation of traffic flow variables (e.g., speed, volume, and density measures) and associated information (e.g., congestion, potential incidents). This flow includes the traffic data and the operational status of the traffic detectors
traffic image meta data (Existing)
Meta data that describes traffic images. Traffic images (video) are in another flow.
traffic images (Existing)
High fidelity, real–time traffic images suitable for surveillance monitoring by the operator or for use in machine vision applications. This flow includes the images. Meta data that describes the images is contained in another flow.
variable speed limit control (Existing)
Information used to configure and control variable speed limit systems including the equipment used to provide current speed limits and other information to drivers.
variable speed limit status (Existing)
Current operating status of the variable speed limit systems including the state of the equipment.
vehicle signage application info (Existing)
In–vehicle signing application configuration data and messaging parameters. This flow provides a list of regulatory, warning, and information messages to be displayed and parameters that support scheduling and prioritizing messages to be issued to passing vehicles. This flow also supports remote control of the application so the application can be taken offline, reset, or restarted.
vehicle signage application status (Existing)
In–vehicle signing application status reported by the RSE. This includes current operational state and status of the RSE and a log of messages sent to passing vehicles.
