Interface: Rail Grade Wayside Warning Systems - Level 2 Cities Edge ITS Field Equipment

Rail Grade Wayside Warning Systems to Level 2 Cities Edge ITS Field Equipment Interface Diagram

Information Flow Definitions

passive vehicle monitoring coordination  (Planned)  

The direct flow of information between field equipment. This includes control commands used to control detection systems that rely on infrastructure–based identification of individual vehicles to measure travel times and other related measures by identifying the same vehicle at different points in the network. Related technologies include Bluetooth readers and license plate recognition systems. The coordination also includes sharing of time stamped identifiers that identify the vehicles that have passed through a detection zone.

traffic detector coordination  (Planned)  

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

video surveillance coordination  (Planned)  

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.
