National ITS Architecture Functional Requirements associated with VDOT NRO MPSTOC - Signal Center Field Equipment:

Roadway Basic Surveillance
  1. The field element shall collect, process, digitize, and send traffic sensor data (speed, volume, and occupancy) to the center for further analysis and storage, under center control.
  2. The field element shall collect, process, and send traffic images to the center for further analysis and distribution.
  3. The field element shall return sensor and CCTV system operational status to the controlling center.
Roadway Signal Controls
  1. The field element shall control traffic signals at intersections and on main highways for urban and rural areas, under center control.
  2. The field element shall monitor operation of traffic signal controllers and report to the center any instances in which the indicator response does not match that expected from the indicator control information.
  3. The field element shall return traffic signal controller operational status to the controlling center.
  4. The field element shall return traffic signal controller fault data to the maintenance center for repair.
Roadway Signal Priority
  1. The field element shall respond to requests for indicator (e.g., signal) preemption requests from emergency vehicles at intersections, pedestrian crossings, and multimodal crossings.
  2. The field element shall respond to requests for indicator (e.g., signal) priority requests from transit vehicles at intersections, pedestrian crossings, and multimodal crossings.
  3. The field element shall notify controlling traffic management center and maintenance center that the signal timing has changed based on a signal preemption/priority request to help those centers determine whether a fault detected at the signal is a true malfunction or due to a signal override.
