Interfaces:

Vehicle Environmental Probe Support

• The vehicle shall collect and process environmental sensor data, including air temperature and rain sensors.
• The vehicle shall monitor the status of vehicle convenience and safety systems (wiper status, headlight status, traction control system status) that can be used to measure environmental conditions and record snapshots of significant events in these system
• The vehicle shall transmit environmental probe data to field equipment located along the roadway using short range communications.
• The vehicle shall transmit environmental probe data to the center along with location and timestamp information.

Vehicle Safety Monitoring System

• The vehicle shall collect and monitor data concerning the safety of the vehicle - including, steering, braking, acceleration, emissions, fuel economy, engine performance, etc.
• The vehicle shall determine the status of the vehicle in terms of its continued ability to operate in a safe manner.
• The vehicle shall present information to the driver in audible or visual forms without impairing the driver's ability to control the vehicle in a safe manner.
• The vehicle shall provide warnings to the driver of potential dangers based on sensor input and analysis concerning the safety of the vehicle.

MCV Roadway Maintenance and Construction

• The maintenance and construction vehicle shall monitor materials information including remaining quantity and current application rate of materials on the vehicle.
• The maintenance and construction vehicle shall respond to control information from the center to allow remote operation of the on-board vehicle systems. These systems include routine maintenance equipment for cutting, repairs, hazard removal, etc.
• The maintenance and construction vehicle shall respond to dispatch information from the center, presented to the vehicle operator for acknowledgement and returning status.
• The maintenance and construction vehicle shall send operational data to the center including the operational state of the maintenance equipment (e.g., blade up/down, spreader pattern), types and quantities of materials used for construction and maintenanc
• The maintenance and construction vehicle shall track the location and status of safety systems on-board the vehicle.

MCV Vehicle Location Tracking

• The maintenance and construction vehicle shall send the time stamped vehicle location to the controlling center.
• The maintenance and construction vehicle shall track its current location.

MCV Vehicle System Monitoring and Diagnostics

• The maintenance and construction vehicle shall collect vehicle diagnostics and operating status data from the maintenance vehicle platform including engine temperature, mileage, tire wear, brake wear, belt wear, and other operational status measures as we
• The maintenance and construction vehicle shall send the vehicle diagnostic and safety information to an equipment repair facility.
• The maintenance and construction vehicle shall send the vehicle diagnostic and safety information to the controlling maintenance center.
• The maintenance and construction vehicle shall use the diagnostic and status information to support scheduling vehicle maintenance, monitoring safety status, and informing the vehicle operator of the conditions.

MCV Winter Maintenance

• The maintenance and construction vehicle shall exchange operational and environmental data with other maintenance and construction vehicles. Operational data includes operational state of the maintenance equipment (e.g., blade up/down, spreader pattern,
• The maintenance and construction vehicle shall monitor materials information including remaining quantity and current application rate of materials on the vehicle.
• The maintenance and construction vehicle shall respond to control information from the center to allow remote operation of the on-board vehicle systems. These systems include winter maintenance equipment for plowing, treating, and anti-icing.
• The maintenance and construction vehicle shall respond to dispatch information from the center, presented to the vehicle operator for acknowledgement and returning status.
