Includes regional and national information service providers, such as Navigator, SmartRoutes, or Metro Traffic that provide travel information to the traveling public (both subscription service and general broadcast information) through these devices. |
| Vehicle GPS and Time Data | The 'Vehicle Location and Time Data Source' provides accurate position information for vehicle–based mobile devices. While a Global Positioning System (GPS) Receiver is the most common implementation, this physical object represents any technology that provides a position fix in three dimensions and time with sufficient accuracy. This data can be used for location through a vehicle OBE (ie for time stamping and performance monitoring). |
| Verizon LTE Cellular Network | Private APN network set up for Caltrans D11 Field Device Backhaul, in areas where agency fiber is not yet accessible. |
| Vulnerable Road Users | 'Vulnerable Road Users' represents any roadway user not in a motorized vehicle capable of operating at the posted speed for the roadway in question, and also any roadway user in a vehicle not designed to encase (and thus protect) its occupants. This includes pedestrians, cyclists, wheelchair users, two–wheeled scooter micromobility users, as well as powered scooters and motorcycles. Note that this terminator represents the physical properties of vulnerable road users and their conveyance that may be sensed to support safe vehicle automation and traffic management in mixed mode applications where a variety of road users share the right–of–way. See also 'Pedestrian' and 'Cyclist' Physical Objects that represent the human interface to these vulnerable road users. |
| Wide Area Alerting Systems | Wide Area Alerting Systems are used throughout the state to notify the public when there is an emergency often through a rapid notification system used to contact the public by telephone during times of emergency. Through a reverse 911 system, residents receive a recorded message in English and Spanish notifying them of the nature of the emergency, and what steps they should take to eliminate risks associated with the emergency. Any public safety agency can activate the system, which can be used for emergency incidents that pose a danger to life or property. Potential uses include emergencies such as major fires, floods, public safety threats, hazardous materials spills, police incidents, and endangered children or elderly persons. |
