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 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 Traffic Information Dissemination

This Equipment package provides the roadside elements of traffic information dissemination including DMS, HAR, and talking pedestrian signs.

 

Roadway Work Zone Traffic Control

This equipment package directs activity in work zones, controlling traffic through portable dynamic message signs (DMS) and informing other groups of activity (e.g., ISP, TM, other maintenance and construction centers) for better coordination management. Work zone speeds and delays are provided to the motorist prior to the work zones
