Roadway Traffic Information Dissemination

• The field element shall provide fault data for the driver information systems equipment (DMS, HAR, etc.) to the center for repair.
• The field element shall provide operational status for the driver information systems equipment (DMS, HAR, etc.) to the center.
• The field element shall include driver information systems that communicate directly from a center to the vehicle radio (such as Highway Advisory Radios) for dissemination of traffic and other information to drivers, under center control.

TMC Traffic Information Dissemination

• The center shall retrieve locally stored traffic information, including current and forecasted traffic information, road and weather conditions, traffic incident information, information on diversions and alternate routes, closures, and special traffic restrictions (lane/shoulder use, weight restrictions, width restrictions, HOV requirements), and the definition of the road network itself.
• The center shall collect fault data for the driver information systems equipment (DMS, HAR, etc.) for repair.
• The center shall collect operational status for the driver information systems equipment (DMS, HAR, etc.).
• The center shall remotely control driver information systems that communicate directly from a center to the vehicle radio (such as Highway Advisory Radios) for dissemination of traffic and other information to drivers.
