The following equipment packages are associated with the "TxDOT Paris District DMS" element.   Select the "Details" icon to see the detailed requirements associated with each equipment package, or consult the National ITS Architecture web site for more information.

 

Roadway Environmental Monitoring

Environmental sensors, surface and sub-surface, that collect weather and road surface information. Weather conditions measured include temperature, wind, humidity, precipitation, and visibility. Sensors measure road surface temperature, moisture, icing, salinity, etc.

 

Roadway Equipment Coordination

Field elements that control and send data to other field elements (such as environmental sensors that send data to a DMS or coordination between traffic controllers on adjacent intersections), without center control.

 

Roadway Incident Detection

Field elements that provide video images of traffic conditions, including advanced CCTV cameras with built-in incident detection algorithms.

 

Roadway Probe Beacons

Field elements to collect traffic and road conditions from passing vehicles; both anonymous toll/parking tag readings for link time calculations and smart probe data supported.

 

Roadway Traffic Information Dissemination

Driver information systems, such as dynamic message signs and Highway Advisory Radio (HAR).
