Interface: WSDOT SWR Field Equipment - Clark County Field Equipment
Information Flow Definitions
advisory radio coordination (Existing)
The direct flow of information between field equipment. This includes information used to initialize, configure, and control roadside highway advisory radio including message content and delivery attributes, local message store maintenance requests, control mode commands, status queries, and all other commands and associated parameters that support local monitoring and management of these systems.
barrier system coordination (Planned)
The direct flow of information between field equipment. This includes information used to configure and control barrier systems that are represented by gates, barriers and other automated or remotely controlled systems used to manage entry to roadways. Current operating status of barrier systems is also shared including operating condition and current operational state.
dynamic sign coordination (Existing)
The direct flow of information between field equipment. This includes 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 local management of these devices. Current operating status of dynamic message signs is returned.
environmental sensor coordination (Planned)
The direct flow of information between field equipment. This includes configuration and control of environmental sensors and the current road conditions (e.g., surface temperature, subsurface temperature, moisture, icing, treatment status) and surface weather conditions (e.g., air temperature, wind speed, precipitation, visibility) as measured and reported by fixed and/or mobile environmental sensors. Operational status of the sensors is also included.
passive vehicle monitoring coordination (Existing)
The direct flow of information between field equipment. This includes control commands used to control detection systems that rely on infrastructure–based identification of individual vehicles to measure travel times and other related measures by identifying the same vehicle at different points in the network. Related technologies include Bluetooth readers and license plate recognition systems. The coordination also includes sharing of time stamped identifiers that identify the vehicles that have passed through a detection zone.
roadway treatment coordination (Planned)
The direct flow of information between field equipment. This includes control data for remotely located, automated devices, that treat the road surface (e.g., de–icing applications) and the current operational status of automated roadway treatment devices.
traffic detector coordination (Existing)
The direct flow of information between field equipment. This includes information used to configure and control traffic detector systems such as inductive loop detectors and machine vision sensors Raw and/or processed traffic detector data is returned that 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 detectors
traffic metering coordination (Existing)
The direct flow of information between field equipment. This includes control commands and operating parameters for ramp meters, interchange meters, mainline meters, and other systems equipment associated with roadway metering operations. Current operational status of the traffic metering status is also provided.
video surveillance coordination (Existing)
The direct flow of information between field equipment. This includes information used to configure and control video surveillance systems and the high fidelity, real–time traffic images and associated meta data that are returned.
