Interface: Regional Traveler Information System - Metro Transit Operations Center
Architecture Flow Definitions
data query publication (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Data query publication includes those dialogs necessary to satisfy the response portion of a query–response action using the data distribution architecture. The information content varies widely based on available content and the query, but it generally includes information on the state of transportation system operations including traffic and road conditions, advisories, incidents, transit service information, weather information, parking information, and other related data.
demand responsive transit plan (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Plan regarding overall demand responsive transit schedules and deployment.
demand responsive transit request (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Request for paratransit support.
emergency transit schedule information (Existing) Applicable ITS Standards
Information on transit schedule and service changes that adapt the service to better meet needs of responders and the general public in an emergency situation, including special service schedules supporting evacuation.
incident information (Planned)
Notification of existence of incident and expected severity, location, time and nature of incident. As additional information is gathered and the incident evolves, updated incident information is provided. Incidents include any event that impacts transportation system operation ranging from routine incidents (e.g., disabled vehicle at the side of the road) through large–scale natural or human–caused disasters that involve loss of life, injuries, extensive property damage, and multi–jurisdictional response. This also includes special events, closures, and other planned events that may impact the transportation system.
logged vehicle routes (Planned)
Anticipated route information for guided vehicles, special vehicles (e.g., oversize vehicles) or groups of vehicles (e.g., governor's motorcade) that may require changes in traffic control strategy.
road network conditions (Planned)
Current and forecasted traffic information, road and weather conditions, and other road network status. Either raw data, processed data, or some combination of both may be provided by this flow. Information on diversions and alternate routes, closures, and special traffic restrictions (lane/shoulder use, weight restrictions, width restrictions, HOV requirements) in effect is included.
traffic images (Planned)
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 and meta data that describes the images.
transit and fare schedules (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Transit service information including routes, schedules, and fare information.
transit fare information (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Information provided by transit management that supports fare payment transactions.
transit incident information (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Information on transit incidents that impact transit services for public dissemination.
transit probe data (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Aggregate probe data derived from tracking transit vehicles. Data collected could include transit vehicle speeds and travel times for a given link or collection of links.
transit schedule adherence information (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Dynamic transit schedule adherence and transit vehicle location information.
transit trip plan (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
An origin–destination transit trip that may involve multiple modes and connections.
transit trip request (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Request for a transit trip plan that is responsive to traveler requirements such as schedule, cost, or duration.
trip confirmation (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Acknowledgement by the driver/traveler of acceptance of a trip plan with associated personal and payment information required to confirm reservations.
