TxDOT Paris District Maintenance Sections
|
Functional Requirements:
|
1 | The center shall remotely control automated roadway treatment systems. Treatments can be in the form of fog dispersion, anti-icing chemicals, etc. |
2 | The center shall remotely control the environmental sensors that upon detecting changes in environmental or atmospheric conditions, automatically activate roadway treatment systems. |
3 | The center shall collect automated roadway treatment system and associated environmental sensor operational status. |
4 | The center shall collect automated roadway treatment system and associated environmental sensor fault data and request repair. |
5 | The center shall accept requests for automated roadway treatment system activation from center personnel. |
