Project Functional Requirements (Element - Functional Object):

• City of Sarasota TMC - TMC Basic Surveillance
• 1: The center shall monitor, analyze, and store traffic sensor data (speed, volume, occupancy) collected from field elements under remote control of the center.


• City of Sarasota TMC - TMC Data Collection
• 3: The traffic management center shall receive and respond to requests from ITS Archives for either a catalog of the traffic data or for the data itself.
• 4: The traffic management center shall produce sample products of the data available.


• City of Sarasota TMC - TMC Passive Surveillance
• 2: The center shall correlate the time stamped vehicle identities in order to calculate link travel times and derive other traffic measures.


• City of Sarasota Traffic Control Equipment - Roadway Basic Surveillance
• 1: The field element shall collect, process, digitize, and send traffic sensor data (speed, volume, and occupancy) to the center for further analysis and storage, under center control.


• City of Sarasota Traffic Control Equipment - Roadway Passive Monitoring
• 1: The field element shall collect, process, and send data to the center to uniquely identify passing vehicles in order to support travel time measurement


• Sarasota/Manateee MPO Data Dashboard/Data Management Application - Archive Data Repository
• 1: The center shall collect data from centers.
• 11: The center shall respond to requests for archive data from archive data users (centers, field devices).
• 3: The center shall store collected data in an information repository.
• 7: The center shall provide the capability to execute methods on the incoming data such as cleansing, summarizations, aggregations, or transformations applied to the data before it is stored in the archive.


• Sarasota/Manateee MPO Data Dashboard/Data Management Application - TMC Data Collection
• 1: The center shall collect traffic management data such as operational data, event logs, etc.


• Vehicles - Vehicle Location Determination
• 2: The vehicle shall calculate the location from one or more data sources including positioning systems such as GPS, sensors that track vehicle movement, and maps used to determine the likely vehicle route.

Standards:

• (Data Not Needed) - Bluetooth
• (None-Data) - Secure Internet (ITS)
• US: ADMS - Secure Internet (ITS)
• US: NTCIP Transportation Sensors - SNMPv3/TLS
