Project Functional Requirements (Element - Functional Object):

• Florida Statewide Tolling CCSS - PAC Payment Administration
• 1: The center shall manage toll transactions, including maintaining a log of all transactions and toll pricing structure information.
• 10: The center shall exchange data with other payment administration agencies to coordinate toll transactions and pricing.
• 11: The center shall report payment violations including vehicle information and vehicle image to the designated Enforcement Agency.
• 12: The center shall register users for an electronic payment system, establishing accounts that identify owner billing information and preferences.
• 13: The center shall provide secure user account management for the electronic payment system, providing user access to rules and policies, current billing status, invoices, payments, and mechanisms for review and challenge of the collected data.
• 14: This center shall maintain and publish the prices for the electronic payment system.
• 16: The center shall receive traveler payment information and compute the cost of using the portion of the transportation system.
• 17: The center shall process and clear payments from travelers and vehicle owners.
• 18: The center shall coordinate with payment administration centers that serve as a clearing house for a regional payment system in order to perform payment reconciliation.
• 19: The center shall exchange data with other payment administration centers in order to coordinate electronic payments systems use and pricing.
• 2: The center shall dynamically price tolls based on current traffic condition information.
• 21: The center shall provide toll pricing information to other transportation centers.
• 3: The center shall provide secure user account management, providing user access to rules and policies, current billing status, invoices, payments, and mechanisms for review and challenge of the collected data.
• 4: The center shall register vehicles for road or parking use payment, establishing accounts that identify owner billing information and preferences.
• 5: For electronic toll payments requiring financial payment, the center shall process the financial information from ITS roadway payment equipment and manage an interface to a Financial Institution.
• 6: The center shall manage a local billing database for toll customers.
• 7: The center shall manage the details of toll payment violations based on vehicle information from the ITS roadway payment equipment, registration information from the Department of Motor Vehicles, invalid payment information from a Financial Institution, and previous violation information stored locally, and report such violations to appropriate law enforcement agencies.
• 9: The center shall respond to changes in toll prices from the Payment Administrator.


• FTE Data Collection 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.
• 4: The field element shall return sensor and CCTV system operational status to the controlling center.


• FTE Data Dissemination 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).
• 3: The field element shall provide operational status for the driver information systems equipment (DMS, HAR, etc.) to the center.


• FTE Operations Center (Pompano) - 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.


• FTE Operations Center (Pompano) - TMC Traffic Information Dissemination
• 1: The center shall remotely control dynamic messages signs for dissemination of traffic and other information to drivers.
• 3: The center shall collect operational status for the driver information systems equipment (DMS, HAR, etc.).


• FTE Operations Center (Turkey Lake) - TMC Basic Surveillance
