Element Expanded Functional Requirements: NMDOT RWIS

Functional Area: Roadway Environmental Monitoring
  1. The field element shall include surface and sub-surface environmental sensors that measure road surface temperature, moisture, icing, salinity, and other measures.
  2. The field element shall include environmental sensors that measure weather conditions including temperature, wind, humidity, precipitation, and visibility.
  3. The field element's environmental sensors shall be remotely controlled by a maintenance center.
  4. The field element's environmental sensors shall be remotely controlled by a traffic management center.
  5. The field element's environmental sensors shall be remotely controlled by weather service providers such as the National Weather Service or value-added sector specific meteorological services.
  6. The field element's environmental sensors shall be remotely controlled by a maintenance and construction vehicle.
  7. The field element shall provide environmental sensor equipment operational status to the controlling center or maintenance vehicle.
  8. The field element shall provide environmental sensor equipment fault indication to the controlling center or maintenance vehicle.
  9. The field element shall remotely aggregate environmental sensor data with environmental data collected from maintenance and construction vehicles.
  10. The field element shall provide weather and road surface condition data to centers.
  11. The field element shall provide weather and road surface condition data to maintenance and construction vehicles.
Functional Area: Roadway Field Device Monitoring
  1. The field element shall monitor the operational status (state of the device, configuration, and fault data) of connected sensors (such as traffic, infrastructure, environmental, security, speed) and devices (such as highway advisory radio, dynamic message signs, automated roadway treatment systems, barrier and safeguard systems, cameras, traffic signals, ramp meters, short range communications equipment, security surveillance equipment).
  2. The field element shall send operational status of connected field equipment to the maintenance center.
  3. The field element shall send collected fault data to the maintenance center for repair.
  4. The field element shall include a local interface that provides operational status and fault data for connected field equipment to field personnel.
  5. The field element shall include a local interface that allows field personnel to command diagnostic tests on connected field equipment.
