Project Functional Requirements (Element - Functional Object):

1: The field element shall control traffic signals under center control.
10: The field element shall receive request for transit vehicle signal priority.

10: The center shall adjust signal timing in respond to a signal prioritization, signal preemption, pedestrian call, multi-modal crossing activation, or other requests for right-of-way.

2: The transit vehicle shall send priority requests to traffic signal controllers at intersections, pedestrian crossings, and multimodal crossings on the roads (surface streets) and freeway (ramp controls) network that enable a transit vehicle schedule deviation to be corrected.
3: The transit vehicle shall send the schedule deviation data and status of priority requests to the transit vehicle operator and provide the capability for the transit vehicle operator to control the priority system.
4: The transit vehicle shall prevent a priority request from being sent when the transit vehicle cannot use the priority (e.g., when the transit vehicle makes a passenger stop on the approach to an intersection).

1: The center shall analyze transit vehicle schedule performance to determine the need for priority along certain routes or at certain intersections.
2: The center shall send requests for priority along routes or at intersections to traffic management.
