Project Functional Requirements (Element - Functional Object):

• City of Clearwater Traffic Control Center - TMC Multi-Modal Coordination
• 2: The center shall exchange information with transit management centers including details current transit routes, the level of service on each route, and the progress of individual vehicles along their routes.


• City of St. Petersburg Traffic Control Center - TMC Multi-Modal Coordination
• 2: The center shall exchange information with transit management centers including details current transit routes, the level of service on each route, and the progress of individual vehicles along their routes.


• HART Transit Operations - Transit Center Multi-Modal Coordination
• 2: The center shall share transfer cluster and transfer point information with other transit centers. A transfer cluster is a collection of stop points, stations, or terminals where transfers can be made conveniently.
• 4: The center shall coordinate schedules and services with other transit centers.


• Pinellas County Traffic Management Center - TMC Multi-Modal Coordination
• 2: The center shall exchange information with transit management centers including details current transit routes, the level of service on each route, and the progress of individual vehicles along their routes.


• PSTA Intermodal Center - Transit Center Multi-Modal Coordination
• 1: The center shall coordinate schedules and services with traffic management, parking management, and event planning systems.
• 2: The center shall share transfer cluster and transfer point information with other transit centers. A transfer cluster is a collection of stop points, stations, or terminals where transfers can be made conveniently.
• 4: The center shall coordinate schedules and services with other transit centers.
• 5: The center shall coordinate schedules and services with other surface or air transportation modes.


• PSTA Transit Management Center - Transit Center Multi-Modal Coordination
• 2: The center shall share transfer cluster and transfer point information with other transit centers. A transfer cluster is a collection of stop points, stations, or terminals where transfers can be made conveniently.
• 4: The center shall coordinate schedules and services with other transit centers.


• PSTA Transit Vehicles - Transit Vehicle Schedule Management
• 1: The transit vehicle shall receive a vehicle assignment including transit route information, transit service instructions, traffic information, road conditions, and other information for the operator.
• 3: The transit vehicle shall calculate the estimated times of arrival (ETA) at transit stops.
• 6: The transit vehicle shall send the schedule deviation and estimated arrival time information to the center.
