Architecture Flow Definitions

flood warning_ud   (Existing)   No Applicable ITS Standards

Flood warning information sent from one center to another.

 

incident information   (Existing)   Applicable ITS Standards

Notification of existence of incident and expected severity, location, time and nature of incident.

 

incident information request   (Existing)   Applicable ITS Standards

Request for incident information, clearing time, severity. The request can be a subscription that initiates as-needed information updates as well as a one-time request for information.

 

incident report_ud   (Future)   No Applicable ITS Standards

Report of an identified incident including incident location, type, severity and other information necessary to initiate an appropriate incident response.

 

incident response coordination_ud   (Future)   No Applicable ITS Standards

Incident response procedures, resource coordination, and current incident response status that are shared between allied response agencies to support a coordinated response to incidents. This flow also coordinates a positive hand off of responsibility for all or part of an incident response between agencies.

 

incident response status   (Existing)   Applicable ITS Standards

Status of the current incident response including traffic management strategies implemented at the site (e.g., closures, diversions, traffic signal control overrides).

 

maint and constr resource response   (Existing)   Applicable ITS Standards

Current status of maintenance and construction resources including availability and deployment status.

 

remote surveillance control   (Existing)   Applicable ITS Standards

The control commands used to remotely operate another center's sensors or surveillance equipment so that roadside surveillance assets can be shared by more than one agency.

 

request for weather information_ud   (Existing)   No Applicable ITS Standards

Request for weather information.

 

resource deployment status   (Existing)   Applicable ITS Standards

Status of traffic management center resource deployment identifying the resources available and their current deployment status.

 

resource request   (Existing)   Applicable ITS Standards

A request for traffic management resources to implement special traffic control measures, assist in clean up, verify an incident, etc.

 

road network conditions   (Existing)   Applicable ITS Standards

Current and forecasted traffic information, road and weather conditions, incident information, and other road network status. Either raw data, processed data, or some combination of both may be provided by this architecture flow.

 

roadway maintenance status   (Existing)   Applicable ITS Standards

Summary of maintenance fleet operations affecting the road network. This includes the status of winter maintenance (snow plow schedule and current status).

 

roadway weather information_ud   (Future)   No Applicable ITS Standards

Road conditions and weather information that are made available by road maintenance operations to other transportation system operators.

 

traffic control coordination   (Existing)   Applicable ITS Standards

Information transfers that enable remote monitoring and control of traffic management devices. This flow is intended to allow cooperative access to, and control of, field equipment during incidents and special events and during day-to-day operations. This flow also allows 24-hour centers to monitor and control assets of other centers during off-hours, allows system redundancies and fail-over capabilities to be established, and otherwise enables integrated traffic control strategies in a region.

 

traffic information coordination   (Existing)   Applicable ITS Standards

Traffic information exchanged between TMC’s. Normally would include incidents, congestion data, traffic data, signal timing plans, and real-time signal control information.

 

work zone information_ud   (Existing)   No Applicable ITS Standards

Summary of maintenance and construction work zone activities affecting the road network including the nature of the maintenance or construction activity, location, impact to the roadway, expected time(s) and duration of impact, anticipated delays, alternate routes, and suggested speed limits. This information may be augmented with images that provide a visual indication of current work zone status and traffic impacts.
