Caltrans D11 Field Equipment to San Diego ITS Field Equipment Interface Diagram

Information Flow Definitions

advisory radio coordination  (Existing)  

The direct flow of information between field equipment. This includes information used to initialize, configure, and control roadside highway advisory radio including 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 monitoring and management of these systems.

dynamic sign coordination  (Existing)  

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.

lane management coordination  (Planned)  

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.

restricted lanes application status  (Planned)  

Current RSE application status that is monitored by the back office center including the operational state of the RSE, current configuration parameters, and a log of lane use (aggregate profiles of vehicles that checked in to the lane and reported vehicle speeds in the lanes) and RSE communications activity.

roadway dynamic signage data  (Planned)  

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 remote management of these devices.

roadway dynamic signage status  (Planned)  

Current operating status of dynamic message signs.

roadway warning coordination  (Planned)  

The direct flow of information between field equipment. This includes information used to configure and control roadway warning systems and the current operating status of roadway warning systems.

shoulder management coordination  (Planned)  

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.

traffic detector coordination  (Existing)  

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

traffic metering coordination  (Existing)  

The direct flow of information between field equipment. This includes control commands and operating parameters for ramp meters, interchange meters, mainline meters, and other systems equipment associated with roadway metering operations. Current operational status of the traffic metering status is also provided.

vehicle signage local data  (Planned)  

Information provided by adjacent field equipment to support in–vehicle signing of dynamic information that is currently being displayed to passing drivers. This includes the dynamic information (e.g., local traffic and road conditions, work zone information, lane restrictions, detours, closures, advisories, parking availability, etc.) and control parameters that identify the desired timing, duration, and priority of the signage data.

video surveillance coordination  (Existing)  

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.
