FDOT Active Arterial Management System (City of Melbourne)

Project Description: The project will adjust signal timing related to predictable traffic conditions, especially during special events or construction. Traffic information will be provided to drivers via DMS and FL511. The existing FL511 website includes traveler information on freeways and will now be expanded to include arterials.

Project Functional Requirements (Element - Functional Object):

City of Melbourne 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.
2: The field element shall collect, process, and send traffic images to the center for further analysis and distribution.

City of Melbourne Field Equipment - Roadway Signal Control

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.

City of Melbourne 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).

City of Melbourne Traffic Operations 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.

City of Melbourne Traffic Operations Center - TMC Roadway Equipment Monitoring

1: The center shall collect and store sensor (traffic, pedestrian, multimodal crossing) operational status.
2: The center shall collect and store CCTV surveillance system (traffic, pedestrian) operational status.
3: The center shall collect and store sensor (traffic, pedestrian, multimodal crossing) fault data and send to the maintenance center for repair.
4: The center shall collect and store CCTV surveillance system (traffic, pedestrian) fault data send to the maintenance center for repair.
5: The center shall collect environmental sensor operational status.

City of Melbourne Traffic Operations Center - TMC Signal Control

1: The center shall remotely control traffic signal controllers.
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.

City of Melbourne Traffic Operations Center - TMC Traffic Information Dissemination

1: The center shall remotely control dynamic messages signs for dissemination of traffic and other information to drivers.
15: The center shall coordinate information dissemination with other traffic management centers.
3: The center shall collect operational status for the driver information systems equipment (DMS, HAR, etc.).

FDOT District 5 RTMC - TMC Basic Surveillance

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.

FDOT District 5 RTMC - TMC Signal Control

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.

FDOT District 5 RTMC - TMC Traffic Information Dissemination

15: The center shall coordinate information dissemination with other traffic management centers.
6: The center shall distribute traffic data to maintenance and construction centers, transit centers, emergency management centers, parking facilities, and traveler information providers.

FL511 - TIC Traveler Information Broadcast

1: The center shall disseminate traffic and highway condition information to travelers, including incident information, detours and road closures, event information, recommended routes, and current speeds on specific routes.
2: The center shall disseminate maintenance and construction information to travelers, including scheduled maintenance and construction work activities and work zone activities.
3: The center shall disseminate transit routes and schedules, transit transfer options, transit fares, and real-time schedule adherence information to travelers.
