Architecture Flow Definitions

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.

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.

roadway dynamic signage data  (Existing)  Applicable ITS Standards

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 systems.

roadway dynamic signage status  (Existing)  Applicable ITS Standards

Current operating status of dynamic message signs, highway advisory radios, or other configurable field equipment that provides dynamic information to the driver.

roadway warning system control  (Planned)  Applicable ITS Standards

Information used to configure and control roadway warning systems.

roadway warning system status  (Planned)  Applicable ITS Standards

Current operating status of roadway warning systems.

traffic detector control  (Existing)  Applicable ITS Standards

Information used to configure and control traffic detector systems such as inductive loop detectors and machine vision sensors.

traffic detector data  (Existing)  Applicable ITS Standards

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 sensor system.
