Element Expanded Functional Requirements: NYSDOT R10 Field Equipment (Queens)

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 Traffic Information Dissemination
  1. The field element shall include dynamic messages signs for dissemination of traffic and other information to drivers, under center control; the DMS may be either those that display variable text messages, or those that have fixed format display(s) (e.g. vehicle restrictions, or lane open/close).
  2. 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.
  3. The field element shall include pedestrian information systems under center control (e.g. warning pedestrians of a potential hazard, or providing mandatory instructions as to the availability of pedestrian access).
  4. The field element shall provide operational status for the driver information systems equipment (DMS, HAR, etc.) to the center.
  5. The field element shall provide fault data for the driver information systems equipment (DMS, HAR, etc.) to the center for repair.
Functional Area: Roadway Equipment Coordination
  1. The field element shall include sensors that provide data and status information to other field element devices, without center control.
  2. The field element shall include sensors that receive configuration data from other field element devices, without center control.
  3. The field element shall include devices that provide data and status information to other field element devices without center control.
  4. The field element shall include devices that receive configuration data from other field element devices, without center control.
