| 1.7.1.2.2(a) | Type (including Terrain Hazards). |
| 1.7.1.2.2(b) | Extent. |
| 1.7.1.2.2(c) | Severity. |
| 1.7.1.2.3 | The Incident Identification function shall determine and continuously monitor the current and expected traffic flow impact of each existing incident. |
| 1.7.2 | IM shall provide a Response Formulation function to formulate appropriate response actions to each identified incident and revise those actions when necessary. |
| 1.7.2.1 | The Response Formulation function shall propose and facilitate the appropriate scheduling of those predicted incidents that can be scheduled to minimize incident potential, incident impacts, and/or the resources required for incident management. |
| 1.7.4 | IM shall provide the capability to Predict Hazardous Conditions, including the time and location of hazardous conditions that may cause an incident. |
| 8.0 | MAINTENANCE AND CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT |
| 8.1 | MAINTENANCE AND CONSTRUCTION OPERATIONS |
| 8.1.0 | ITS shall provide Maintenance and Construction Operations (MCO) functions to support monitoring, operating, maintaining, improving and managing the physical condition of roadways, the associated infrastructure equipment, and the required resources. MCO shall focus on four major functions: 1) the Maintenance Vehicle Fleet Management function, to monitor and track locations and conditions of fleets of maintenance, construction, and specialized service vehicles; 2) the Roadway Management function, to monitor and forecast conditions and manage treatment of roadways during various travel conditions; 3) the Work Zone Management and Safety function, to support effective and efficient roadway operations during work zone activities; and 4) the Roadway Maintenance Conditions and Work Plan Dissemination function, to coordinate work plans and to communicate conditions. This User Service will utilize ITS systems and processes to support interchange of information among diverse groups of users, to improve efficiency and effectiveness of operational, maintenance, and managerial activities. |
| 8.1.3 | Maintenance and Construction Operations shall provide a Work Zone Management and Safety (WZMS) function, which provides support for the effectiveness, safety, and efficiency of roadway operations during all work zone activities.
