Information Flow Definitions
conflict monitor status (Future)
A control flow that supports failsafe operation in the event that a conflict is detected that requires the RSE to enter a failsafe operating mode for intersection management. Analogous to a traffic signal conflict monitor, this flow is issued when differences are detected between information provided to the vehicle for in–vehicle display and information displayed by field devices. It contains the details of differences that were found.
detected unequipped vehicles and VRUs (Future)
Notification of a nearby vehicle (light vehicle, commercial vehicle, MMV etc.) or vulnerable road user that does not appear to be equipped with a short range communications device but is detectable using onboard vehicle or infrastructure sensors. The flow communicates detected vehicle/VRU location, physical characteristics, observable kinematics and confidence in those measures.
intersection control status (Planned)
Status data provided by the traffic signal controller including phase information, alarm status, and priority/preempt status.
intersection status monitoring (Future)
Current signal phase and timing information for all lanes at a signalized intersection. This flow represents monitoring of communications by a receiver at the intersection to support monitoring for conflicts between actual signal states and RSE communications about those states.
mixed use crossing status (Future)
Current pedestrian and other mixed use crossing information including an indication of whether the call button has been activated, the current state of the mixed use crossing signal, and information indicating whether non–motorized users are currently occupying the cross walk.
personal location information (Future)
Pedestrian, bicyclist, and other non–motorized user locations at an intersection as detected and reported by an RSE.
restricted lanes application status (Future)
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 lane use (aggregate profiles of vehicles that checked in to the lane and reported vehicle speeds in the lanes) and RSE communications activity.
roadway dynamic signage data (Future)
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 (Future)
Current operating status of dynamic message signs.
signal preemption request (Planned)
Direct request for preemption to a traffic signal controller that results in preemption of the current control plan and grants right–of–way to the requesting vehicle. This flow identifies the required phase and timing of the preemption. This flow may also cancel the preemption request (e.g., when the requesting vehicle clears the intersection).
signal priority service request (Planned)
A service request for vehicle priority issued to a traffic signal controller that results in green extension or other accommodation for the priority vehicle, within the current signal timing plan. The request includes the priority level, the desired time and duration of service, and the intended travel path through the intersection. This flow also allows the RSE to cancel a previously issued request for priority.
signal service request (Future)
A call for service or extension for a signal control phase that is issued by the RSE for connected vehicles approaching an intersection and/or pedestrians at a crosswalk. This flow identifies the desired phase and service time.
traffic situation data (Future)
Current, aggregate traffic data collected from connected vehicles that can be used to supplement or replace information collected by roadside traffic detectors. It includes raw and/or processed reported vehicle speeds, counts, and other derived measures. Raw and/or filtered vehicle control events may also be included to support incident detection.
vehicle reported emissions (Future)
Current and average vehicle emissions data as measured by vehicle diagnostics systems and reported by the vehicle.
vehicle signage local data (Future)
Information provided by adjacent field equipment to support in–vehicle signing of dynamic information that is currently being displayed to passing drivers. This includes the dynamic information (e.g., local traffic and road conditions, work zone information, lane restrictions, detours, closures, advisories, parking availability, etc.) and control parameters that identify the desired timing, duration, and priority of the signage data.
