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.
-
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 County 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).
-
Manatee County 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.
-
2: The center shall monitor, analyze, and distribute traffic images from CCTV systems 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.
-
7: The center shall remotely control devices to detect traffic.
-
Manatee County TMC - 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.
-
Manatee County TMC - TMC Situation Data Management
-
1: The center shall collect traffic probe data from vehicles via roadside field equipment.
-
Manatee County TMC - TMC Traffic Information Dissemination
-
1: The center shall remotely control dynamic messages signs for dissemination of traffic and other information to drivers.
-
Manatee County Traveler Information Website - TIC Operations Data Collection
-
1: The center shall collect traveler information data, such as parking lot data, rideshare data, road network use data, vehicle probe data, and other data from traveler information system operations.
-
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.
-
2: The center shall monitor, analyze, and distribute traffic images from CCTV systems 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).
-
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.
-
Manatee-Sarasota Regional Traffic Management Center - TMC Situation Data Management
-
1: The center shall collect traffic probe data from vehicles via roadside field equipment.
-
2: The center shall collect road condition data from probe-equipped transit vehicles via transit management centers; the data may be aggregated and preliminarily processed at the sending center.
-
5: The center shall collect operational status for the roadside probe data collection equipment.
-
Manatee-Sarasota Regional Traffic Management Center - TMC Traffic Information Dissemination
-
1: The center shall remotely control dynamic messages signs for dissemination of traffic and other information to drivers.
-
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.
