Equipment Package: 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. |
| Included In: |
VTrans Maintenance Vehicles
|
| 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.
