Project Inventory:

Roadway Traffic Information Dissemination

• The field element shall provide fault data for the driver information systems equipment (DMS, HAR, etc.) to the center for repair.
• The field element shall provide operational status for the driver information systems equipment (DMS, HAR, etc.) to the center.
• The field element shall include driver information systems that communicate directly from a center to the vehicle radio (such as Highway Advisory Radios) for dissemination of traffic and other information to drivers, under center control.
• The field element shall include dynamic messages 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).

TMC Traffic Information Dissemination

• The center shall provide the capability for center personnel to control the nature of the data that is available to non-traffic operations centers and the media.
• The center shall distribute traffic data to the media; the capability to provide the information in both data stream and graphical display shall be supported.
• The center shall distribute traffic data to maintenance and construction centers, transit centers, emergency management centers, and traveler information providers.
• The center shall retrieve locally stored traffic information, including current and forecasted traffic information, road and weather conditions, traffic incident information, information on diversions and alternate routes, closures, and special traffic restrictions (lane/shoulder use, weight restrictions, width restrictions, HOV requirements), and the definition of the road network itself.
• The center shall collect fault data for the driver information systems equipment (DMS, HAR, etc.) for repair.
• The center shall collect operational status for the driver information systems equipment (DMS, HAR, etc.).
• The center shall remotely control driver information systems that communicate directly from a center to the vehicle radio (such as Highway Advisory Radios) for dissemination of traffic and other information to drivers.
• The center shall remotely control dynamic messages signs for dissemination of traffic and other information to drivers.
