KIPDA Regional ITS Architecture

Element Expanded Functional Requirements: KIPDA Traffic Detectors


Functional Area: Roadway Probe Data Communications
  1. The field element shall communicate with passing vehicles for traffic data link time calculations and send collected data to the controlling center; identification will be removed to ensure anonymity.
  2. The field element shall communicate with on-board equipment on passing vehicles to collect current vehicle position, speed, and heading and a record of previous events (e.g., starts and stops, link travel times) that can be used to determine current traffic conditions.
  3. The field element shall communicate with on-board equipment on passing vehicles to collect current status information and a record of previous events (e.g., temperature, wiper status, headlight status, traction control system status) that can be used to determine road and surface weather conditions.
  4. The field element shall communicate with on-board equipment on passing vehicles to collect vehicle trip information (e.g., origin and destination information, travel times) that can be used to support transportation planning.
  5. The field element shall communicate with on-board equipment on passing vehicles to collect a history of precise positioning information that can be used to derive or verify accurate roadway geometry and lane features for use by map update providers.
  6. The field element shall aggregate and forward collected probe information to the center.
  7. The field element shall provide roadside equipment operational status to the center.
  8. The field element shall provide roadside equipment fault indication to the center for repair.
Functional Area: Roadway Data Collection
  1. The field element shall collect traffic, road, and environmental conditions information.
  2. The field element shall include the sensors and supporting roadside devices that sense, collect, and send traffic, road, and environmental conditions information to a center for archival.
  3. The field element shall collect sensor status and sensor faults from roadside equipment and send it along with the recorded data to a center for archival.
