Connected Vehicle Roadside Equip - Mobility - Connected Vehicle Roadside Equipment Functionality
Subsystem Description
'Connected Vehicle Roadside Equipment' (CV RSE) represents the Connected Vehicle roadside devices that are used to send messages to, and receive messages from, nearby vehicles using Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) or other alternative wireless communications technologies. Communications with adjacent field equipment and back office centers that monitor and control the RSE are also supported. This device operates from a fixed position and may be permanently deployed or a portable device that is located temporarily in the vicinity of a traffic incident, road construction, or a special event. It includes a processor, data storage, and communications capabilities that support secure communications with passing vehicles, other field equipment, and centers.
Functional Object: RSE Data Subscription Management
'RSE Data Subscription Management' manages data subscriptions for an RSE. It provides access to a catalog of available data, manages the necessary identification information and rules that govern the data subscriptions, supports communications with data providers to collect data per the subscription rules, and makes the data available to other RSE applications. It supports different mechanisms for collecting data including one–time query–response as well as publish–subscribe services.
Functional Object: RSE Parking Management
'RSE Parking Management' monitors the basic safety messages generated by connected vehicles to detect vehicles parking and maintain and report spaces that are occupied by connected vehicles. It also uses short range communications to provide parking information to vehicles.
Functional Object: RSE Restricted Lanes Application
The 'RSE Restricted Lanes Application' uses short range communications to monitor and manage dynamic and static restricted lanes. It collects vehicle profile information from vehicles entering the lanes and monitors vehicles within the lanes, providing aggregate data to the back office center. It provides lane restriction information and signage data to the vehicles and optionally identifies vehicles that violate the current lane restrictions. These functions are performed based on operating parameters provided by the back office managing center(s).
Functional Object: RSE Traveler Information Communications
'RSE Traveler Information Communications' includes field elements that distribute information to vehicles for in–vehicle display. The information may be provided by a center (e.g., variable information on traffic and road conditions in the vicinity of the field equipment) or it may be determined and output locally (e.g., static sign information and signal phase and timing information). This includes the interface to the center or field equipment that controls the information distribution and the short range communications equipment that provides information to passing vehicles.
