Eagle Pass Regional ITS Architecture (Final)

Functional Requirements: MCV Infrastructure Monitoring


Description: This on-board equipment package monitors the condition of pavement, bridges, tunnels, associated hardware, and other transportation-related infrastructure (e.g., culverts). It includes vehicle-based sensors that directly monitor the infrastructure, communications that allow roadway-based infrastructure monitoring sensors to be controlled and read, and data communications that allows collected infrastructure condition information to be reported back to a center.
Functional Requirements:
  1. The maintenance and construction vehicle shall collect infrastructure data from on-board sensors relating to the physical characteristics of the roadway infrastructure, including pavement, bridges, culverts, signs, etc.
  2. The maintenance and construction vehicle shall collect infrastructure data from sensors located along the roadway relating to the physical characteristics of the roadway infrastructure, including pavement, bridges, culverts, signs, etc.
  3. The maintenance and construction vehicle shall provide control signals to infrastructure monitoring sensors located at the roadway.
  4. The maintenance and construction vehicle shall send current condition of pavement, bridges, culverts, signs, and other roadway infrastructure as measured by on-board sensors or read from infrastructure-based sensors to the center. The data may include raw data or images (e.g., photo logs) that indicate the current status of the infrastructure.
  5. The maintenance and construction vehicle shall respond to control information from the center to allow remote operation of the on-board vehicle systems.
  6. The maintenance and construction vehicle shall provide infrastructure sensor equipment operational status to the center.
