Interface: MDOT Field Sensors - MDOT Dynamic Lane Assignment Sign
Information Flow Definitions
dynamic sign coordination (Planned) Selected Comm Solution
The direct flow of information between field equipment. This includes information used to initialize, configure, and control dynamic message signs. This flow can provide message content and delivery attributes, local message store maintenance requests, control mode commands, status queries, and all other commands and associated parameters that support local management of these devices. Current operating status of dynamic message signs is returned.
environmental sensor coordination (Planned) Selected Comm Solution
The direct flow of information between field equipment. This includes configuration and control of environmental sensors and the current road conditions (e.g., surface temperature, subsurface temperature, moisture, icing, treatment status) and surface weather conditions (e.g., air temperature, wind speed, precipitation, visibility) as measured and reported by fixed and/or mobile environmental sensors. Operational status of the sensors is also included.
lane management coordination (Planned) Selected Comm Solution
The direct flow of information between field equipment. This includes information used to configure and control dynamic lane management systems and the status of managed lanes including current operational state, violations, and logged information. This also includes lane usage information including both traditional traffic flow measures and special information associated with managed lanes such as measured passenger occupancies. It also includes the operational status of the lane management equipment.
shoulder management coordination (Planned) Selected Comm Solution
The direct flow of information between field equipment. This includes information used to configure and control systems that allow use of a shoulder as a lane for vehicular traffic and current status of shoulder use, the current operational state of the equipment and identified violations.
signal control coordination (Planned) Selected Comm Solution
The direct flow of information between field equipment. This includes configuration and control of traffic signal controllers or field masters. Configuration data and operational status of traffic signal control equipment including operating condition and current indications are returned.
traffic detector coordination (Planned) Selected Comm Solution
The direct flow of information between field equipment. This includes information used to configure and control traffic detector systems such as inductive loop detectors and machine vision sensors Raw and/or processed traffic detector data is returned that allows derivation of traffic flow variables (e.g., speed, volume, and density measures) and associated information (e.g., congestion, potential incidents). This flow includes the traffic data and the operational status of the traffic detectors
variable speed limit coordination (Planned) Selected Comm Solution
The direct flow of information between field equipment. This includes information used to configure, control, and monitor variable speed limit systems including the equipment used to provide current speed limits and other information to drivers.
video surveillance coordination (Planned) Selected Comm Solution
The direct flow of information between field equipment. This includes information used to configure and control video surveillance systems and the high fidelity, real–time traffic images and associated meta data that are returned.
