Architecture Flow Definitions
hov data (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Current HOV lane information including both standard traffic flow measures and information regarding vehicle occupancy in HOV lanes, and operational status of the HOV monitoring equipment.
traffic flow (Existing) Applicable ITS Standards
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 detectors.
traffic probe data (Existing) Applicable ITS Standards
Vehicle data that is used to determine traffic conditions. In a basic implementation, the data could be limited to time stamped unique identifiers that can be used to measure a vehicle’s progress through the network. In more advanced implementations, the vehicle may report current position, speed, and heading and snapshots of recent events including route information, starts and stops, speed changes, and other information that can be used to estimate traffic conditions.
traffic sensor control (Existing) Applicable ITS Standards
Information used to configure and control traffic sensor systems.
