| Functional Requirements: |
On-board Schedule Management
- The transit vehicle shall receive a vehicle assignment including transit route information, transit service instructions, traffic information, road conditions, and other information for the operator.
- The transit vehicle shall use the route information and its current location to determine the deviation from the predetermined schedule.
On-board Transit Security
- The transit vehicle shall perform video and audio surveillance inside of transit vehicles and output raw video or audio data for either local monitoring (for processing or direct output to the transit vehicle operator), remote monitoring or for local storage (e.g., in an event recorder).
- The transit vehicle shall perform local monitoring of video or audio surveillance data collected inside of transit vehicles, and identify potential incidents or threats based on received processing parameters.
- The transit vehicle shall output an indication of potential incidents or threats and the processed video or audio information to the center along with the vehicle’s current location.
- The transit vehicle shall detect potential threats via sensors for chemical agents, toxic industrial chemicals, biological agents, explosives, and radiation.
- The transit vehicle shall detect potential threats via object detection sensors (e.g. metal detectors).
- The transit vehicle shall output an indication of potential incidents or threats and the processed sensor information to the center along with the vehicle’s current location.
- The transit vehicle shall accept sensor control data to allow remote control of the sensors.
- The transit vehicle shall monitor and output surveillance and sensor equipment status and fault indications.
- The transit vehicle shall accept emergency inputs from either the transit vehicle operator or a traveler through such interfaces as panic buttons, silent or audible alarms, etc.
- The transit vehicle shall output reported emergencies to the center.
- The transit vehicle shall receive acknowledgments of the emergency request from the center and output this acknowledgment to the transit vehicle operator or to the travelers.
- The transit vehicle shall be capable of receiving an emergency message for broadcast to the travelers or to the transit vehicle operator.
On-board Transit Trip Monitoring
- The transit vehicle shall track the current location of the transit vehicle.
- The transit vehicle shall support the computation of the location of a transit vehicle using on-board sensors to augment the location determination function. This may include proximity to the transit stops or other known reference points as well as recording trip length.
- The transit vehicle shall record transit trip monitoring data including vehicle mileage and fuel usage.
- The transit vehicle shall record transit trip monitoring data including operational status information such as doors open/closed, running times, etc.
- The transit vehicle shall send the transit vehicle trip monitoring data to center-based trip monitoring functions.
