Architecture Flow Definitions
incident information (Existing) Applicable ITS Standards
Notification of existence of incident and expected severity, location, time and nature of incident. As additional information is gathered and the incident evolves, updated incident information is provided. Incidents include any event that impacts transportation system operation ranging from routine incidents (e.g., disabled vehicle at the side of the road) through large–scale natural or human–caused disasters that involve loss of life, injuries, extensive property damage, and multi–jurisdictional response. This also includes special events, closures, and other planned events that may impact the transportation system.
road network conditions (Existing) Applicable ITS Standards
Current and forecasted traffic information, road and weather conditions, and other road network status. Either raw data, processed data, or some combination of both may be provided by this flow. Information on diversions and alternate routes, closures, and special traffic restrictions (lane/shoulder use, weight restrictions, width restrictions, HOV requirements) in effect is included.
traffic images (Existing) Applicable ITS Standards
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 and meta data that describes the images.
transit emergency coordination data (Existing)
transit service coordination (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Schedule coordination or AVL information shared between local/regional transit organizations. This includes coordination of connections between transit properties.
transit traveler information coordination (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Transit schedules, real–time arrival information, fare schedules, and general transit service information shared between transit organizations to support transit traveler information systems.
