SDDOT Mobile Field Equipment Equipment Packages

 

The following equipment packages are associated with the "SDDOT Mobile Field Equipment" element.   Select the "Details" icon to see the detailed process specifications that support each equipment package, or consult the National ITS Architecture web site for more information.

 

Roadway Basic Surveillance

This Equipment package provides the capabilities to monitor traffic flow in major intersections and on main highways for urban areas and to monitor road conditions using fixed equipment such as loop detectors and wireline communication.

 

Roadway Equipment Coordination

This equipment package coordinates field equipment that is distributed along the roadway by supporting direct communications between field equipment. This includes coordination between remote sensors and field devices (e.g., Dynamic Message Signs) and coordination between the field devices themselves (e.g., coordination between traffic controllers that are controlling adjacent intersections.).

 

Roadway Incident Detection

This Equipment package provides incident detection capability to reside at the roadside. For example, advanced CCTV's with built-in incident detection algorithms would allow the actual detection function to be roadside rather than transmitting images to a center for visual or automated detection.

 

Roadway Traffic Information Dissemination

This Equipment package provides the roadside elements of traffic information dissemination including DMS, HAR, and talking pedestrian signs.
