MCV Infrastructure Monitoring Equipment Package

Architecture Geographic Scope

Description:

On-board systems to monitor the condition of pavement, bridges, tunnels, associated hardware, and other transportation-related infrastructure (e.g., culverts). Includes vehicle-based sensors and communications with roadway-based infrastructure monitoring sensors.

 

Included in:

Municipal PWD Vehicles
TxDOT Lufkin District Maintenance Vehicles

Functional Requirements:

1The maintenance and construction vehicle shall collect infrastructure data from on-board sensors relating to the physical characteristics of the roadway infrastructure, including pavement, bridges, culverts, signs, etc.
2The maintenance and construction vehicle shall collect infrastructure data from sensors located along the roadway relating to the physical characteristics of the roadway infrastructure, including pavement, bridges, culverts, signs, etc.
3The maintenance and construction vehicle shall provide control signals to infrastructure monitoring sensors located at the roadway.
4The maintenance and construction vehicle shall send current condition of pavement, bridges, culverts, signs, and other roadway infrastructure as measured by on-board sensors or read from infrastructure-based sensors to the center. The data may include raw data or images (e.g., photo logs) that indicate the current status of the infrastructure.
5The maintenance and construction vehicle shall provide infrastructure sensor equipment operational status to the center.
  

User Service Requirements (fully or partially addressed):

8.0MAINTENANCE AND CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
8.1MAINTENANCE AND CONSTRUCTION OPERATIONS
8.1.1Maintenance and Construction Operations shall provide a Maintenance Vehicle Fleet Management (MVFM) function to schedule and dispatch, monitor and track location, and monitor operational condition and maintenance requirements of public and contracted fleets of maintenance, construction, and specialized service vehicles. This function includes interactions among Traffic Managers, Supervisors, Dispatchers, Field Crews, Construction Crews, Vehicle Maintenance Crews, Equipment Maintenance Crews, Weather Services Organizations, and Information Service Providers.
8.1.1.5MVFM shall be capable of using on-board vehicle sensors to monitor roadway conditions and vehicle functions, including but not limited to:
8.1.1.5(b)Operating status (e.g. materials stored, materials usage, plow blade up/down, etc.)
8.1.1.7MVFM shall be capable of communicating status information to other maintenance, construction or specialized service vehicles.
8.1.2Maintenance and Construction Operations shall provide a Roadway Management (RWM) function to monitor traffic, road surface, and environmental conditions and forecast traffic and road surface conditions to support management of routine and hazardous road condition remediation and to communicate changes in conditions. This function includes interactions among Traffic Managers, Supervisors, Dispatchers, Field Crews, Construction Crews, Asset Managers, Planning Agencies, and Weather Services Organizations.
8.1.2.1RWM shall support a number of different services, including but not limited to:
8.1.2.1(a)Winter maintenance (plowing, treating, anti-icing, de-icing, etc.)
8.1.2.1(b)Hazard removal (removing trash, animals, etc.)
8.1.2.1(d)Routine maintenance activities (cleaning, cutting, etc.)
8.1.2.1(e)Repair activities
