Project Functional Requirements (Element - Functional Object):

INDOT Indianapolis TMC - TMC Basic Surveillance

1: The center shall monitor, analyze, and store traffic sensor data (speed, volume, occupancy) collected from field elements under remote control of the center.
2: The center shall monitor, analyze, and distribute traffic images from CCTV systems under remote control of the center.

INDOT Indianapolis TMC - TMC Dynamic Lane Management and Shoulder Use

1: The center shall remotely monitor and control dynamically managed travel lanes.
8: The center shall support temporary use of shoulders as travel lanes.
9: The center shall activate lane management field equipment that is used to dynamically manage specific lanes and shoulders.

INDOT Indianapolis TMC - TMC Traffic Information Dissemination

1: The center shall remotely control dynamic messages signs for dissemination of traffic and other information to drivers.

INDOT Lane Management 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.
4: The field element shall return sensor and CCTV system operational status to the controlling center.

INDOT Lane Management Field Equipment - Roadway Dynamic Lane Management and Shoulder Use

1: The field element shall measure traffic conditions per lane, under center control.
3: The field element shall receive lane management control information from the controlling center.

INDOT Lane Management Field Equipment - Roadway Traffic Information Dissemination

1: The field element shall include dynamic message signs for dissemination of traffic and other information to drivers, under center control; the DMS may be either those that display variable text messages, or those that have fixed format display(s) (e.g. vehicle restrictions, or lane open/close).
