City of Victoria ITS Field Equipment Equipment Packages

 

The following equipment packages are associated with the "City of Victoria ITS Field Equipment" element.   Select the "Details" icon to see the detailed requirements associated with each equipment package, or consult the National ITS Architecture web site for more information.

 

Roadway Basic Surveillance

Field elements that monitor traffic conditions using loop detectors and CCTV cameras.

 

Roadway Data Collection

Field elements to collect traffic, road, and environmental conditions information for use in transportation planning, research, and other off-line applications. Includes the sensors, supporting roadside infrastructure, and communications equipment.

 

Roadway Environmental Monitoring

Environmental sensors, surface and sub-surface, that collect weather and road surface information. Weather conditions measured include temperature, wind, humidity, precipitation, and visibility. Sensors measure road surface temperature, moisture, icing, salinity, etc.

 

Roadway Equipment Coordination

Field elements that control and send data to other field elements (such as environmental sensors that send data to a DMS or coordination between traffic controllers on adjacent intersections), without center control.

 

Roadway Probe Beacons

Field elements to collect traffic and road conditions from passing vehicles; both anonymous toll/parking tag readings for link time calculations and smart probe data supported.

 

Roadway Signal Controls

Field elements including traffic signal controllers for use at major intersections and on main highways for urban areas; also supports pedestrian crossings.

 

Roadway Signal Priority

Field elements that provide the capability to receive vehicle signal priority requests and control traffic signals accordingly.

 

Roadway Speed Monitoring

Vehicle speed sensors that detect excessive vehicle speeds, informing drivers, centers and/or enforcement agencies of speed violations.

 

Roadway Traffic Information Dissemination

Driver information systems, such as dynamic message signs and Highway Advisory Radio (HAR).

 

Roadway Work Zone Safety

Work zone intrusion detection devices (to detect vehicle intrusion upon a work zone or crew worker movement across a work zone boundary) and intrusion alerting devices that provide alerts to crew and drivers.

 

Roadway Work Zone Traffic Control

Field elements in a work zone that manage traffic conditions using CCTV cameras and driver information systems (such as DMS) to provide information directly to drivers affected by the work zone activity.

 

Standard Rail Crossing

Field elements at highway-rail intersections (HRIs) where operational requirements do not dictate advanced features (e.g., where rail operational speeds are less than 80 miles per hour). Includes traditional HRI warning systems augmented with other standard traffic management devices.
