Project Functional Requirements (Element - Functional Object):
-
Manatee County 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.
-
2: The field element shall collect, process, and send traffic images to the center for further analysis and distribution.
-
Manatee County 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
-
Manatee-Sarasota Regional Traffic Management Center - 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.
-
5: The center shall respond to control data from center personnel regarding sensor and surveillance data collection, analysis, storage, and distribution.
-
7: The center shall remotely control devices to detect traffic.
-
Manatee-Sarasota Regional Traffic Management Center - 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.
