Functional Requirements: TMC Dynamic Lane Management and Shoulder Use |
|
| Description: |
This equipment package remotely monitors and controls the system that is used to dynamically manage travel lanes, including temporary use of shoulders as travel lanes. It monitors traffic conditions and demand measured in the field and determines when the lane configuration of the roadway should be changed, when intersections and/or interchanges should be reconfigured, when the shoulders should be used for travel (as a lane), when lanes should be designated for use by special vehicles only, such as buses, high occupancy vehicles (HOVs), vehicles attending a special event, etc. and/or when types of vehicles should be prohibited or restricted from using particular lanes. It controls the field equipment used to manage and control specific lanes and the shoulders. It also can automatically notify the enforcement agency of lane control violations. |
| Functional Requirements: |
- The center shall remotely monitor and control dynamically managed travel lanes.
- The center shall monitor traffic conditions and demand measured per lane.
- The center shall receive input from Border Inspection Systems to identify existing and planned lane configurations at the border.
- The center shall receive input from multimodal crossings such as draw bridges to identify existing and planned lane configurations at the crossings.
- The center shall receive input from Intermodal Freight Depots to support monitoring and anticipation of commercial vehicle traffic originating at the depot and requests for dynamic lane management in the vicinity of the depot.
- The center shall monitor and coordinate dynamic lane controls with adjacent jurisdictions.
- Based on the collected data and operator input, the center shall determine suggested and required lane control configuration changes.
- The center shall support temporary use of shoulders as travel lanes.
- The center shall designate lanes for use by special vehicles only, such as buses, high occupancy vehicles (HOVs), or vehicles attending a special event.
- The center shall identify lane use restrictions, prohibiting specific types of vehicles (e.g., commercial vehicles) from specific lanes.
- The center shall activate lane management field equipment that is used to dynamically manage specific lanes and shoulders.
- The center shall reconfigure intersections and interchanges for compatibility with the current lane configuration.
- The center shall notify the enforcement agency of violators of the lane controls.
