Project Functional Requirements (Element - Functional Object):
-
Lee County and Cities Field 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.
-
Lee County and Cities Field Equipment - Roadway Traffic Information Dissemination
-
1: The field element shall include dynamic message signs for dissemination of traffic and other information to drivers, under center control; the DMS may be either those that display variable text messages, or those that have fixed format display(s) (e.g. vehicle restrictions, or lane open/close).
-
Lee County-Wide Advanced Traffic Management System - 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.
-
4: The center shall distribute road network conditions data (raw or processed) based on collected and analyzed traffic sensor and surveillance data to other centers.
-
6: The center shall maintain a database of surveillance equipment and sensors and associated data (including the roadway on which they are located, the type of data collected, and the ownership of each).
-
7: The center shall remotely control devices to detect traffic.
-
Lee County-Wide Advanced Traffic Management System - TMC Traffic Information Dissemination
-
1: The center shall remotely control dynamic messages signs for dissemination of traffic and other information to drivers.
-
3: The center shall collect operational status for the driver information systems equipment (DMS, HAR, etc.).
-
Local Agency Traveler Information System - TIC Data Collection
-
1: The center shall collect, process, and store traffic and highway condition information, including incident information, detours and road closures, event information, recommended routes, and current speeds on specific routes.
