SANDAG Virtual TMCs to Rail Grade Wayside Warning Systems Interface Diagram

Information Flow Definitions

lane management control  (Planned)  

Information used to configure and control dynamic lane management systems.

lane management information  (Planned)  

System status of managed lanes including current operational state, violations, and logged information. This 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.

passive vehicle monitoring control  (Existing)  

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.

passive vehicle monitoring data  (Existing)  

Time stamped identifiers that identify the vehicles that have passed through a detection zone.

roadway advisory radio data  (Existing)  

Information used to initialize, configure, and control roadside highway advisory radio. 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 systems.

roadway advisory radio status  (Existing)  

Current operating status of highway advisory radios.

roadway dynamic signage data  (Existing)  

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  (Existing)  

Current operating status of dynamic message signs.

shoulder management control  (Planned)  

Information used to configure and control systems that allow use of a shoulder as a lane for vehicular traffic.

shoulder management information  (Planned)  

System status including current operational state, violations and logged information.

traffic detector control  (Existing)  

Information used to configure and control traffic detector systems such as inductive loop detectors and machine vision sensors.

traffic detector data  (Existing)  

Raw and/or processed traffic detector data which 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 image meta data  (Existing)  

Meta data that describes traffic images. Traffic images (video) are in another flow.

traffic images  (Existing)  

High fidelity, real–time traffic images suitable for surveillance monitoring by the operator or for use in machine vision applications. This flow includes the images. Meta data that describes the images is contained in another flow.

video surveillance control  (Existing)  

Information used to configure and control video surveillance systems.
