Project Functional Requirements (Element - Functional Object):

• Collier County Advanced Traffic Management System - TMC Passive Surveillance
• 1: The center shall collect time stamped vehicle identities from field equipment.
• 2: The center shall correlate the time stamped vehicle identities in order to calculate link travel times and derive other traffic measures.


• Collier County Advanced Traffic Management System - TMC Situation Data Management
• 1: The center shall collect traffic probe data from vehicles via roadside field equipment.


• Private Field 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


• Private Field Equipment - RSE Situation Monitoring
• 1: The field element shall collect traffic-related data including snapshots of measured speed and heading and events including starts and stops, speed changes, and other vehicle control from vehicles.
• 2: The field element shall collect provide vehicle situation data to a center for archival.
• 3: The field element shall provide data collection parameters to vehicles.


• Private Field Equipment - RSE Traffic Monitoring
• 1: The field element shall communicate with on-board equipment on passing vehicles to collect current vehicle position, speed, and heading and a record of previous events (e.g., starts and stops, link travel times) that can be used to determine current traffic conditions.
• 2: The field element shall aggregate and forward collected probe information to the center.


• Vehicles - Vehicle Location Determination
• 1: The vehicle shall provide the vehicle's current location to other in-vehicle functions.
• 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.
• 5: The vehicle shall provide its location with lane-level accuracy to other on-board applications.


• Vehicles - Vehicle Situation Data Monitoring
• 4: The vehicle shall provide traffic-related data including snapshots of measured speed and heading and events including starts and stops, speed changes, and other vehicle control from vehicle.
• 6: The Vehicle shall provide data to Connected Vehicle Roadside Equipment. in accordance with data collection parameters provided by Centers/Connected Vehicle Roadside Equipment.

Standards:

• (Data Not Needed) - Bluetooth
