Functional Areas
MCM Work Zone Safety Management
- The center shall provide remote monitoring and control of work zone safety devices - including intrusion detection devices that have been installed in work zones or maintenance areas.
- The center shall provide remote monitoring and control of intrusion alert devices that have been installed in work zones or maintenance areas.
- The center shall collect status information of work zone safety device status from field equipment or the maintenance and construction vehicles.
- The center shall collect and store work zone data collected from work zone monitoring devices (such as intrusion detection or alert devices and speed monitoring devices) on-board the vehicle and at the roadside.
- The maintenance and construction vehicle shall detect that a vehicle has intruded upon the boundary of a work zone. The boundary of the work zone represents an area around the maintenance and construction vehicle, which may be stationary or moving.
- The maintenance and construction vehicle shall receive work zone warnings from the field equipment at the roadside, other maintenance and construction vehicles.
- The maintenance and construction vehicle shall present work zone warnings to the field personnel using direct warning signals or in-vehicle signage functions.
- The maintenance and construction vehicle shall monitor the crew movements to identify when a crew member is crossing the boundary between a work zone and vehicle traffic and issue an alert to the crew member.
- The maintenance and construction vehicle shall provide status of the work zone warning systems to the center.
Roadway Equipment Coordination
- The field element shall include devices (such as arterial or freeway controllers, roadway automated treatment systems, barrier and safeguard systems, emissions or pollution systems, and work zone intrusion alert systems) that receive control information from other field element devices, without center control.
- The field element shall include sensors (such as traffic, environmental, and work zone intrusion detection sensors) that provide data and status information to other field element devices (such as dynamic message signs, ramp meters, traffic signals, work zone intrusion alert systems), without center control.
- The field element shall include sensors (such as traffic, environmental, and work zone intrusion detection sensors) that receive control information from other field element devices, without center control.
- The field element shall include devices (such as arterial or freeway controllers, roadway automated treatment systems, barrier and safeguard systems, emissions or pollution systems, and work zone intrusion alert systems) that provide data and status information to other field element devices (such as dynamic message signs, traffic controllers on adjacent intersections), without center control.
- The field element shall include work zone intrusion detection devices that detect when a vehicle has intruded upon the boundary of a work zone, under center control.
- The field element shall include work zone intrusion detection devices that detect when crew workers have crossed the boundary between the work zone and vehicle traffic, under center control.
- The field element shall include work zone intrusion alerting devices that alert crew workers of a work zone emergency or safety issue such as the intrusion of a vehicle into the work zone area or movement of field crew into the travel lanes.
- The field element shall include work zone intrusion alerting devices that notify crew via maintenance vehicles of a work zone emergency or safety issue such as the intrusion of a vehicle into the work zone area or movement of field crew into the travel lanes.
- The field element shall include work zone intrusion alerting devices that alert drivers that they have intruded upon the perimeter of the work zone, or are about to do so; may provide alerts to drivers directly or via in-vehicle signing.
- The field element shall provide operational status for the work zone intrusion detection devices to the maintenance center.
- The field element shall provide fault data for the work zone intrusion detection devices to the maintenance center for repair.
- The field element shall provide operational status for the work zone intrusion alerting devices to the maintenance center.
- The field element shall provide fault data for the work zone intrusion alerting devices to the maintenance center for repair.
