Project Functional Requirements (Element - Functional Object):

• City of Jacksonville CAV Field Equipment - RSE Environmental Monitoring
• 1: The field element shall communicate with passing vehicles to collect environmental monitoring data, including ambient air quality, emissions, temperature, precipitation, and other road weather information.
• 2: The field element shall aggregate and forward collected environmental probe information to the center.
• 3: The field element shall collect environmental monitoring data from sensors, including ambient air quality, emissions, temperature, precipitation, and other road weather information.
• 4: The field element shall provide application status to the center for monitoring.
• 5: The field element shall aggregate and filter the collected environmental data based on configuration parameters received from the controlling center.
• 6: The field element shall process the collected data locally and issue short-term road weather advisories for the road segment using short range communication.
• 7: The field element shall provide environmental data to other field elements.


• City of Jacksonville CAV Field Equipment - RSE Speed Warning
• 3: The field element shall provide vehicles with about speed reductions, lane closures or roadway configuration changes.


• City of Jacksonville Field Equipment - Roadway Environmental Monitoring
• 1: The field element shall include surface and sub-surface environmental sensors that measure road surface temperature, moisture, icing, salinity, and other measures.
• 2: The field element shall include environmental sensors that measure weather conditions including temperature, wind, humidity, precipitation, and visibility.
• 3: The field element's environmental sensors shall be remotely controlled by a maintenance center.
• 4: The field element's environmental sensors shall be remotely controlled by a traffic management center.
• 7: The field element shall provide environmental sensor equipment operational status to the controlling center or maintenance vehicle.
• 8: The field element shall provide environmental sensor equipment fault indication to the controlling center or maintenance vehicle.
• 10: The field element shall provide weather and road surface condition data to centers.
• 12: The field equipment shall provide environmental sensor data to the Connected Vehicle Roadside Equipment.
• 13: The field element shall collect environmental data from connected vehicle roadside equipment.
• 14: The field element shall provide access to remotely collected environmental data (i.e., from connected vehicle sources) in the same manner is it provides access to locally collected environmental data (typically by providing it to various centers).


• City of Jacksonville Traffic Management Center - TMC Environmental Monitoring
• 1: The traffic center shall remotely control environmental sensors that measure road surface conditions including temperature, moisture, icing, salinity, and other measures.
• 2: The traffic center shall remotely control environmental sensors that measure weather conditions including temperature, wind, humidity, precipitation, and visibility.
• 3: The traffic center shall assimilate current and forecast road conditions and surface weather information using a combination of weather service provider information (such as the National Weather Service and value-added sector specific meteorological services), data from roadway maintenance operations, and environmental data collected from sensors deployed on and about the roadway.
• 4: The traffic center shall receive road condition information from weather service providers.
• 5: The traffic center shall receive aggregated and processed vehicle environmental data collected from vehicle safety and convenience systems through the connected vehicle roadside equipment.
• 7: The traffic center shall provide drivers road weather advisories.


• Florida 511 - TIC Road Weather Advisories and Warnings
• 5: The center shall develop short term weather warnings or advisories that can be provided to individual motorists.
• 6: The center shall obtain information regarding weather and road conditions for targeted weather impact, including visibility, wind speed, wind direction, snow accumulation, adjacent snow accumulation, ice/water accumulation.


• Vehicles - Vehicle Roadside Information Reception
• 1: The vehicle shall receive traveler information including traffic and road conditions, incident information, maintenance and construction information, event information, transit information, parking information, and weather information.
• 5: The vehicle shall present the received information to the driver in audible or visual forms without impairing the driver's ability to control the vehicle in a safe manner.
• 6: The vehicle shall present to the driver a visual display of static sign information or dynamic roadway conditions information
• 7: The vehicle shall be capable of providing to the driver an audible presentation of static sign information or dynamic roadway conditions information
