Project Functional Requirements (Element - Functional Object):

• BCT Fixed Route Vehicles - Transit Vehicle Signal Priority
• 1: The transit vehicle shall determine the schedule deviation and estimated times of arrival (ETA) at transit stops.
• 2: The transit vehicle shall send priority requests to traffic signal controllers at intersections, pedestrian crossings, and multimodal crossings on the roads (surface streets) and freeway (ramp controls) network that enable a transit vehicle schedule deviation to be corrected.


• BCT Transit Systems - Transit Center Priority Management
• 1: The center shall analyze transit vehicle schedule performance to determine the need for priority along certain routes or at certain intersections.


• Broward County Field Equipment - Roadway Signal Control
• 1: The field element shall control traffic signals under center control.
• 10: The field element shall receive request for transit vehicle signal priority.
• 4: The field element shall report the current signal control information 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.


• Broward County TMC - TMC Multi-Modal Coordination
• 1: The center shall respond to requests from transit management centers for signal priority at one or more intersections along a particular transit route.


• Broward County TMC - TMC Signal Control
• 1: The center shall remotely control traffic signal controllers.
• 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.
• 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.
