Architecture Flow Definitions

automated roadway control data  (Planned)  

Control commands and operating parameters provided to field equipment that controls and monitors automated vehicle operations.

automated roadway status  (Planned)  

Current operational status of an automated vehicle operations facility, including the status of the field equipment and vehicles using the facility.

barrier system control  (Planned)  Applicable ITS Standards

Information used to configure and control barrier systems that are represented by gates, barriers and other automated or remotely controlled systems used to manage entry to roadways.

barrier system status  (Planned)  Applicable ITS Standards

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 probe data  (Planned)  

Data from vehicle safety and convenience systems that can be used to estimate environmental conditions, 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. The collected data is reported along with the location, heading, and time that the data was collected. Both current data and snapshots of recent events (e.g., traction control or anti-lock brake system activations) may be reported.

environmental sensor data  (Planned)  Applicable ITS Standards

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 sensors control  (Planned)  Applicable ITS Standards

Data used to configure and control environmental sensors.

field device status  (Planned)  Applicable ITS Standards

Reports from field equipment (sensors, signals, signs, controllers, etc.) which indicate current operational status.

infrastructure monitoring sensor control  (Planned)  Applicable ITS Standards

Data used to configure and control infrastructure monitoring sensors.

infrastructure monitoring sensor data  (Planned)  Applicable ITS Standards

Data read from infrastructure-based sensors that monitor the condition or integrity of transportation infrastructure including bridges, tunnels, interchanges, pavement, culverts, signs, transit rail or guideway, and other roadway infrastructure. Includes sensor data and the operational status of the sensors.

lane management control  (Planned)  Applicable ITS Standards

Information used to configure and control dynamic lane management systems.

lane management information  (Planned)  Applicable ITS Standards

System status including current operational state, violations, and logged information.

right-of-way request notification  (Planned)  Applicable ITS Standards

Notice that a request has occurred for signal prioritization, signal preemption, pedestrian call, multi-modal crossing activation, or other source for right-of-way.

safeguard system control  (Planned)  Applicable ITS Standards

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  (Planned)  Applicable ITS Standards

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.

short range communications status  (Planned)  

Status of the short range communications equipment including the current state or mode of operation and the current equipment status.

shoulder management control  (Planned)  Applicable ITS Standards

Information used to configure and control systems that allow use of a shoulder as a lane for vehicular traffic.

shoulder management information  (Planned)  Applicable ITS Standards

System status including current operational state, violations and logged information.

signal control commands  (Planned)  Applicable ITS Standards

Control of traffic signal controllers or field masters including clock synchronization.

signal control device configuration  (Planned)  Applicable ITS Standards

Data used to configure traffic signal control equipment including local controllers and system masters.

signal control plans  (Planned)  Applicable ITS Standards

Traffic signal timing parameters including minimum green time and interval durations for basic operation and cycle length, splits, offset, phase sequence, etc. for coordinated systems.

signal control status  (Planned)  Applicable ITS Standards

Operational and status data of traffic signal control equipment including operating condition and current indications.

signal fault data  (Planned)  Applicable ITS Standards

Faults from traffic signal control equipment.

signal system configuration  (Planned)  Applicable ITS Standards

Data used to configure traffic signal systems including configuring control sections and mode of operation (time based or traffic responsive).

traffic metering control  (Planned)  Applicable ITS Standards

Control commands and operating parameters for ramp meters, interchange meters, mainline meters, and other systems equipment associated with roadway metering operations.

traffic metering status  (Planned)  Applicable ITS Standards

Current operational status and operating parameters for ramp meters, interchange meters, mainline meters and other control equipment associated with roadway metering operations.

traffic probe data  (Planned)  Applicable ITS Standards

Vehicle data that is used to determine traffic conditions. In a basic implementation, the data could be limited to time stamped unique identifiers that can be used to measure a vehicle’s progress through the network. In more advanced implementations, the vehicle may report current position, speed, and heading and snapshots of recent events including route information, starts and stops, speed changes, and other information that can be used to estimate traffic conditions.

variable speed limit control  (Planned)  Applicable ITS Standards

Information used to configure and control variable speed limit systems including the equipment used to provide current speed limits and other information to drivers and the equipment used to monitor traffic and environmental conditions along the roadway.

variable speed limit status  (Planned)  Applicable ITS Standards

Current operating status of the variable speed limit systems including the state of the equipment.

vehicle signage data  (Planned)  Applicable ITS Standards

In-vehicle signing data that augments regulatory, warning, and informational road signs and signals. The information provided would include static sign information (e.g., stop, curve warning, guide signs, service signs, and directional signs) and dynamic information (e.g., current signal states, grade crossing information, local traffic and road conditions, advisories, and detours).
