Equipment Package: TMC Input to In-Vehicle Signing

Description: This equipment package shall provide the capability to allow traffic managers input to operation and maintenance of the roadway vehicle signing devices.
Included In: NJDOT TOC Central
NJDOT TOC North
NJDOT TOC South
NJTA Parkway Division TOC
NJTA Turnpike TOC
SJTA TOC
Processes: 1.2.4.3 - Output In-vehicle Signage Data
1.2.8.1 - Collect Indicator Fault Data
User Service Requirements: 1.0 - TRAVEL AND TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT
1.2 - EN-ROUTE DRIVER INFORMATION
1.2.0 - ITS shall include an En-Route Driver Information (DI) function. Driver Information provides vehicle drivers with information, while en-route, which will allow alternative routes to be chosen for their destination. Driver Information consists of two major functions, which are, (1) Driver Advisory and (2) In-vehicle Signing. The potential decrease in traffic may also provide benefits in highway safety, reduced air pollution, and decreased congestion.
1.2.3.2.3 - The In-vehicle Signing function shall provide the capability to utilize data from roadside environmental sensors as inputs to warning messages.
1.6 - TRAFFIC CONTROL
1.6.0 - ITS shall include a Traffic Control (TC) function. Traffic Control provides the capability to efficiently manage the movement of traffic on streets and highways. Four functions are provided, which are, (1) Traffic Flow Optimization, (2) Traffic Surveillance, (3) Control, and (4) Provide Information. This will also include control of network signal systems with eventual integration of freeway control.
1.6.1.2.1 - Wide area optimization shall integrate the control of network signal systems with the control of freeways.
1.6.1.4 - Traffic Flow Optimization shall include a Control function that is responsive to both the current demand as well as the expected demand.
1.6.2 - TC shall include a Traffic Surveillance function.
1.6.3 - TC shall include a Device Control function.
1.6.3.3 - The Device Control function shall provide the capability to exercise control over those devices utilized for traffic control.
1.6.3.3.1 - Device Control shall include the capability to control traffic signalization, including rapid modification of signalization parameters to respond to traffic requirements.
1.6.3.3.2 - Device Control shall include the capability to dynamically control traffic signing.
1.6.3.3.3 - Device Control shall include the capability to control freeway ramp metering.
1.6.3.3.4 - Device Control shall include the capability to exercise dynamic control over the infrastructure (such as reversible-lanes, turning restrictions, etc.).
1.6.3.4 - Device Control shall communicate control data to the following devices.
1.6.3.4.1 - Traffic Surveillance shall include a data process function to process the traffic data which are acquired.
1.7 - INCIDENT MANAGEMENT
1.7.0 - ITS shall include an Incident Management (IM) function. Incident Management will identify incidents, formulate response actions, and support initiation and ongoing coordination of those response actions. Four major functions are provided, which are, (1) Incidents Identification, (2) Response Formulation, (3) Response Implementation, and (4) Predict Hazardous Conditions.
1.7.4 - IM shall provide the capability to Predict Hazardous Conditions, including the time and location of hazardous conditions that may cause an incident.
1.10 - HIGHWAY RAIL INTERSECTION
1.10.0 - ITS shall include a Highway-Rail Intersection (HRI) function to control highway and rail traffic in at-grade HRIs. Two sub-services are supported: Standard Speed Rail Subservice which is applicable to light rail transit, commuter rail and heavy rail trains with operational speeds up to 79 miles per hour (MPH); and High Speed Rail Subservice which is applicable to all passenger and freight trains with operational speeds from 80 to 125 MPH.
1.10.1 - The Highway-Rail Intersection (HRI) function shall be applicable to operational, at-grade highway-rail intersections with train operational speeds up to 125 MPH.
1.10.1.1 - HRI users shall include light rail transit and rapid rail transit approaching and crossing HRIs.
5.0 - EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
5.1 - EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION AND PERSONAL SECURITY
5.1.3 - ENPS shall include a Remote Security and Emergency Monitoring (RSEM) function to create an environment of safety in secure areas.
5.1.3.5 - RSEM shall include a Physical Security System (PSS) function.
5.1.3.5.4 - PSS shall warn travelers of impending security system deployment via local information systems.
5.1.5 - ENPS shall include a Protect Sensitive Traveler Information (PSTI) function to inhibit distribution of traveler information that is deemed to be sensitive.
5.1.5.1 - PSTI shall notify transportation operators and information providers when access to information from ITS surveillance and sensor systems must be restricted.
5.1.5.2 - The PSTI notification shall identify the geographic area, time, specific devices, and/or other information necessary to determine the traveler information that must be protected.
5.1.5.3 - PSTI shall restrict access to traveler information for the affected area until access restrictions are removed.
5.1.5.4 - PSTI shall notify transportation operators and information providers when traveler information access restrictions are removed.
8.0 - MAINTENANCE AND CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
8.1 - MAINTENANCE AND CONSTRUCTION OPERATIONS
8.1.2 - Maintenance and Construction Operations shall provide a Roadway Management (RWM) function to monitor traffic, road surface, and environmental conditions and forecast traffic and road surface conditions to support management of routine and hazardous road condition remediation and to communicate changes in conditions. This function includes interactions among Traffic Managers, Supervisors, Dispatchers, Field Crews, Construction Crews, Asset Managers, Planning Agencies, and Weather Services Organizations.
8.1.2.1 - RWM shall support a number of different services, including but not limited to:
8.1.2.1(e) - Repair activities
