TxDOT Corpus Christi Field Sensors Equipment Packages

 

The following equipment packages are associated with the "TxDOT Corpus Christi Field Sensors" 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.

 

Roadway Basic Surveillance

This Equipment package provides the capabilities to monitor traffic flow in major intersections and on main highways for urban areas and to monitor road conditions using fixed equipment such as loop detectors and wireline communication.

 

Roadway Equipment Coordination

This equipment package coordinates field equipment that is distributed along the roadway by supporting direct communications between 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 Freeway Control

Ramp meters, CMS and other freeway control effects which will control traffic on freeways.

 

Roadway HOV Control

This Equipment package provides the capability to detect the HOV lane usage using sensor equipment. For lanes that become HOV or High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes during certain time of the day, it provides display equipment to notify users of their status.

 

Roadway Signal Controls

This Equipment package provides the capabilities to control traffic signals at major intersections and on main highways for urban areas. This Equipment package is generally constrained to a single jurisdiction.

 

Roadway Work Zone Safety

This equipment package detects vehicle intrusions in work zones and warns crew workers and drivers of imminent encroachment. Crew movements are also monitored so that the crew can be warned of movement beyond the designated safe zone.
