Information Flow Definitions

roadway dynamic signage data  (Planned)  

Information used to initialize, configure, and control dynamic message signs. This flow can provide message content and delivery attributes, local message store maintenance requests, control mode commands, status queries, and all other commands and associated parameters that support remote management of these systems.

roadway dynamic signage status  (Planned)  

Current operating status of dynamic message signs, highway advisory radios, or other configurable field equipment that provides dynamic information to the driver.

traffic detector control  (Planned)  

Information used to configure and control traffic detector systems such as inductive loop detectors and machine vision sensors.

traffic detector data  (Planned)  

Raw and/or processed traffic detector data which allows derivation of traffic flow variables (e.g., speed, volume, and density measures) and associated information (e.g., congestion, potential incidents). This flow includes the traffic data and the operational status of the traffic sensor system.

variable speed limit control  (Planned)  

Information used to configure and control variable speed limit systems including the equipment used to provide current speed limits and other information to drivers and the equipment used to monitor traffic and environmental conditions along the roadway.

variable speed limit status  (Planned)  

Current operating status of the variable speed limit systems including the state of the equipment.
