Interface: St Louis County Traffic Operations Center - Event Operators
Architecture Flow Definitions
device control request (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Request for device control action
device data (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Data from detectors, environmental sensor stations, roadside equipment, and traffic control devices, including device inventory information.
device status (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Status information from devices
emergency traffic coordination (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Coordination supporting disaster response including evacuation and reentry. Includes coordination of special traffic control strategies that support efficient evacuation and reentry while protecting and optimizing movement of response vehicles and other resources responding to the emergency.
event confirmation (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Confirmation that special event details have been received and processed.
event information (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Special event information for travelers. This would include a broader array of information than the similar "event plans" that conveys only information necessary to support traffic management for the event.
event plans (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Plans for major events possibly impacting traffic.
incident information (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Notification of existence of incident and expected severity, location, time and nature of incident. As additional information is gathered and the incident evolves, updated incident information is provided. Incidents include any event that impacts transportation system operation ranging from routine incidents (e.g., disabled vehicle at the side of the road) through large–scale natural or human–caused disasters that involve loss of life, injuries, extensive property damage, and multi–jurisdictional response. This also includes special events, closures, and other planned events that may impact the transportation system.
road network conditions (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Current and forecasted traffic information, road and weather conditions, and other road network status. Either raw data, processed data, or some combination of both may be provided by this flow. Information on diversions and alternate routes, closures, and special traffic restrictions (lane/shoulder use, weight restrictions, width restrictions, HOV requirements) in effect is included.
traffic images (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
High fidelity, real–time traffic images suitable for surveillance monitoring by the operator or for use in machine vision applications. This flow includes the images and meta data that describes the images.
traffic operator data (Planned)
Presentation of traffic operations data to the operator including traffic conditions, current operating status of field equipment, maintenance activity status, incident status, video images, security alerts, emergency response plan updates and other information. This data keeps the operator appraised of current road network status, provides feedback to the operator as traffic control actions are implemented, provides transportation security inputs, and supports review of historical data and preparation for future traffic operations activities.
traffic operator input (Planned)
User input from traffic operations personnel including requests for information, configuration changes, commands to adjust current traffic control strategies (e.g., adjust signal timing plans, change DMS messages), and other traffic operations data entry.
travel service information (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Information supplied by a service provider (e.g., a hotel or restaurant) that identifies the service provider and provides details of the service offering. This flow covers initial registration of a service provider and subsequent submittal of new information and status updates so that data currency is maintained.
travel service information request (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Requests for travel service information. This flow supports initial registration of service providers and requests for additional traveler service information from registered providers.
