Equipment Package: TMC Regional Traffic Control

Description: This equipment package provides capabilities in addition to those provided by the TMC Basic Signal Control equipment package for analyzing, controlling, and optimizing area-wide traffic flow. These capabilities provide for wide area optimization integrating control of a network signal system with control of freeway, considering current demand as well as expected demand with a goal of providing the capability for real-time traffic adaptive control while balancing inter-jurisdictional control issues to achieve regional solutions. These capabilities are best provided using a Traffic Management Center (TMC) to monitor and manage freeway ramp meters and intersection traffic signals and software to process traffic information and implement traffic management measures (e.g., ramp metering, signalization, and traffic coordination between both local and regional jurisdiction). The TMC shall be able to communicate with other TMCs in order to receive and transmit traffic information on other jurisdictions within the region.

Processes: 1.1.4.2 - Provide Traffic Operations Personnel Traffic Data Interface
1.1.5 - Exchange Data with Other Traffic Centers
User Service Requirements: 1.0 - TRAVEL AND TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT
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 - TC shall include a Traffic Flow Optimization function to provide the capability to optimize traffic flow.
1.6.1.7 - Implementation of the Control function shall include strategies that account for at least the following:
1.6.1.7(a) - Human factors.
1.6.2 - TC shall include a Traffic Surveillance function.
1.6.2.5 - The wide area surveillance shall acquire sufficient data to provide the system with the knowledge of the existing conditions.
1.6.2.5.2 - The data process function shall process traffic data to generate near term predictions of traffic conditions.
1.6.3 - TC shall include a Device Control function.
1.6.3.4(e) - Human operator support.
1.6.3.6 - Device Control shall provide the operator the capability to adaptively change system response in order to provide a response that is coordinated with other TMCs responding to incidents.
1.6.4 - Device Control shall provide traffic control information to other elements of the ITS, including but not limited to the following:
1.6.4(a) - In-vehicle navigation.
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.
5.1.3.5.2 - PSS shall allow system operators to monitor and control operation of the physical security system devices, including operator override.
5.1.3.5.3 - PSS shall provide current status of the system including readiness and activation to operators.
7.0 - INFORMATION MANAGEMENT
7.1 - ARCHIVED DATA FUNCTION
7.1.0 - ITS shall provide an Archived Data Function to control the archiving and distribution of ITS data. The Archived Data User Service provides the Historical Data Archive Repositories and controls the archiving functionality for all ITS data with five major functions: 1) the Operational Data Control function to manage operations data integrity; 2) the Data Import and Verification function to acquire historical data from the Operational Data Control function; 3) the Automatic Data Historical Archive function for permanently archiving the data; 4) the Data Warehouse Distribution function, which integrates the planning, safety, operations, and research communities into ITS and processes data products for these communities; and 5) the ITS Community Interface which provides the ITS common interface to all ITS users for data products specification and retrieval. ADUS helps achieve the ITS information goal of unambiguous interchange and reuse of data and information throughout all functional areas.
7.1.3 - The Archived Data Function shall include a Data Import and Verification (DIV) function to acquire historical data from the Operational Data Control function.
7.1.3.1 - DIV shall be capable of importing selected ITS Operational data from the ITS Operational Repositories.
7.1.3.1.9 - DIV shall be capable of importing data on ITS Physical Characteristics of Transportation Infrastructure to include:
7.1.3.1.9(d) - Transportation facilities.
