Roadway Basic Surveillance

Field elements that monitor traffic conditions using loop detectors and CCTV cameras.

 

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 Signal Controls

Field elements including traffic signal controllers for use at major intersections and on main highways for urban areas; also supports pedestrian crossings.

 

Roadway Traffic Information Dissemination

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

 

Roadway Work Zone Safety

Work zone intrusion detection devices (to detect vehicle intrusion upon a work zone or crew worker movement across a work zone boundary) and intrusion alerting devices that provide alerts to crew and drivers.

 

Roadway Work Zone Traffic Control

Field elements in a work zone that manage traffic conditions using CCTV cameras and driver information systems (such as DMS) to provide information directly to drivers affected by the work zone activity.
