Information Flow Definitions

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.

lane management control  (Existing)  

Information used to configure and control dynamic lane management systems.

lane management information  (Existing)  

System status of managed lanes including current operational state, violations, and logged information. This includes lane usage information including both traditional traffic flow measures and special information associated with managed lanes such as measured passenger occupancies. It also includes the operational status of the lane management equipment.

passive vehicle monitoring control  (Existing)  

Control commands used to control detection systems that rely on infrastructure–based identification of individual vehicles to measure travel times and other related measures by identifying the same vehicle at different points in the network. Related technologies include Bluetooth readers and license plate recognition systems.

passive vehicle monitoring data  (Existing)  

Time stamped identifiers that identify the vehicles that have passed through a detection zone.

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 warning system control  (Existing)  

Information used to configure and control roadway warning systems.

roadway warning system status  (Existing)  

Current operating status of roadway warning systems.

speed monitoring control  (Future)  

Information used to configure and control automated speed monitoring, speed warning, and speed enforcement systems.

speed monitoring information  (Future)  

System status including current operational state and logged information including measured speeds, warning messages displayed, and violation records.

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.

video surveillance control  (Existing)  

Information used to configure and control video surveillance systems.

wrong way vehicle detected  (Existing)  

Notification that a vehicle has been detected traveling in the wrong direction. This can be a direct report by an equipped vehicle that is being driven in the wrong direction or a report of a non–equipped vehicle that has been detected traveling in the wrong direction. It includes the current location, speed, acceleration, and heading of the wrong way vehicle.
