Project Functional Requirements (Element - Functional Object):

• City of Tallahassee 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


• City of Tallahassee 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).
• 4: The field element shall provide fault data for the driver information systems equipment (DMS, HAR, etc.) to the center for repair.


• City of Tallahassee STMC - 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.


• City of Tallahassee STMC - TMC Situation Data Management
• 1: The center shall collect traffic probe data from vehicles via roadside field equipment.


• City of Tallahassee STMC - TMC Traffic Information Dissemination
• 1: The center shall remotely control dynamic messages signs for dissemination of traffic and other information to drivers.


• County and Local 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).


• FDOT District 3 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


• FDOT District 3 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.


• Vehicles - Vehicle Location Determination
• 1: The vehicle shall provide the vehicle's current location to other in-vehicle functions.


• Vehicles - Vehicle Situation Data Monitoring
• 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
• (None-Data) - Secure Internet (ITS)
• US: NTCIP Message Sign - SNMPv3/TLS
