Project Functional Requirements (Element - Functional Object):

• Clay County Field Equipment - Roadway Signal Control
• 1: The field element shall control traffic signals under center control.
• 2: The field element shall respond to pedestrian crossing requests by accommodating the pedestrian crossing.
• 3: The field element shall provide the capability to notify the traffic management center of pedestrian calls and pedestrian accommodations.
• 4: The field element shall report the current signal control information to the center.
• 5: The field element shall report current preemption status to the center.
• 6: The field element shall return traffic signal controller operational status to the center.
• 7: The field element shall return traffic signal controller fault data to the center.
• 8: The field element shall report current transit priority status to the center.
• 10: The field element shall receive request for transit vehicle signal priority.
• 15: The field element shall receive requests for emergency vehicle signal preemption.


• Clay County Signal Control System - TMC Signal Control
• 1: The center shall remotely control traffic signal controllers.
• 2: The center shall accept notifications of pedestrian calls.
• 3: The center shall collect traffic signal controller operational status and compare against the control information sent by the center.
• 4: The center shall collect traffic signal controller fault data from the field.
• 5: The center shall manage (define, store and modify) control plans to coordinate signalized intersections, to be engaged at the direction of center personnel or according to a daily schedule.
• 6: The center shall implement control plans to coordinate signalized intersections based on data from sensors.
• 7: The center shall manage boundaries of the control sections used within the signal system.
• 8: The center shall maintain traffic signal coordination including synchronizing clocks throughout the system.
• 9: The center shall implement control plans to coordinate signalized intersections based on data from sensors and connected vehicles.
• 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.
• 14: The center shall support requests from emergency management centers to provide responding emergency vehicles with signal preemption.
• 17: The center shall remotely control devices to detect traffic in the vicinity of traffic signals.

Project Operational Concepts:

Roles and Responsibilities

• Clay County Public Works Traffic Control Division
• Coordinate emergency traffic signal control with the county EOC/Warning Point.
• Coordinate traffic information with adjoining counties or with cities within Clay County.
• Coordinate traffic information with Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District 2 and the City of Jacksonville traffic engineering division.
• Obtain traffic images and traffic flow data using closed-circuit televisions (CCTVs) and field sensors from Clay County, and maintain operational control of all field equipment.
• Operate traffic signal systems on county-owned roads.
• Provide emergency signal preemption for county fire/emergency medical service (EMS) agencies.
• Provide interconnection between railroad equipment and traffic signal systems to update signal timing when highway-rail intersections (HRIs) are blocked by trains.
