Link Type: Position Location Interface
Location and Time Data Source --> ITS Roadway Equipment:
location and time
Definitions
location and time (Information Flow): The current geographic location in three dimensions (latitude, longitude, elevation) and the current time.
Location and Time Data Source (Source Physical Object): The 'Location and Time Data Source' provides accurate position information. While a Global Positioning System (GPS) Receiver is the most common implementation, this physical object represents any technology that provides a position fix in three dimensions and time with sufficient accuracy.
ITS Roadway Equipment (Destination Physical Object): 'ITS Roadway Equipment' represents the ITS equipment that is distributed on and along the roadway that monitors and controls traffic and monitors and manages the roadway. This physical object includes traffic detectors, environmental sensors, traffic signals, highway advisory radios, dynamic message signs, CCTV cameras and video image processing systems, grade crossing warning systems, and ramp metering systems. Lane management systems and barrier systems that control access to transportation infrastructure such as roadways, bridges and tunnels are also included. This object also provides environmental monitoring including sensors that measure road conditions, surface weather, and vehicle emissions. Work zone systems including work zone surveillance, traffic control, driver warning, and work crew safety systems are also included.

Interoperability | Description |
---|---|
Local | In cases where an interface is normally encapsulated by a single stakeholder, interoperability is still desirable, but the motive is vendor independence and the efficiencies and choices that an open standards-based interface provides. |

Basis | Time reference and location information for Field devices should be observable. There is no reason to obfuscate. | Location and time data is the basis for safety and a host of other applications. Corruption of this flow could lead directly to a vehicle accident. | If this information is not available, applications depending on this information will not function properly. |
