The following equipment packages are associated with the "NYSTA Field Equipment" element. Select the "Details" icon to see the detailed process specifications that support each equipment package, or consult the National ITS Architecture web site for more information.
Multimodal Crossing Control
This Equipment package monitors multimodal crossings and monitors and controls traffic control equipment in the vicinity. Equipment controlled includes warning lights, gates, dynamic message signs, and other systems associated with multimodal crossings. This equipment package manages draw bridges and miscellaneous other interference crossings between highway traffic and other modes. Railroad grade crossings are covered by the Standard Rail Crossing equipment package.
Roadside Data Collection
This equipment package collects traffic, road, and environmental conditions information for use in transportation planning, research, and other off-line applications where data quality and completeness take precedence over real-time performance. This equipment package includes the sensors, supporting roadside infrastructure, and communications equipment that collects and transfers information to a center for archival.
Roadway Equipment Coordination
This equipment package coordinates field equipment that is distributed along the roadway by supporting communications directly between the field equipment. This includes coordination between remote sensors and field devices (e.g., Dynamic Message Signs) and coordination between the field devices themselves (e.g., coordination between traffic controllers that are controlling adjacent intersections.).
Roadway Traffic Information Dissemination
This Equipment package provides the roadside elements of traffic information dissemination including DMS, HAR, and talking pedestrian signs.
