Boulder Public Works to Private Information Services Providers Interface Diagram

Architecture Flow Definitions

alternate mode information  (Existing)  

Schedule information for alternate mode transportation providers such as air, ferry, and passenger–carrying heavy rail.

archive requests  (Existing)  Applicable ITS Standards

A request to a data source for information on available data (i.e., "catalog") or a request that defines the data to be archived. The request can be a general subscription intended to initiate a continuous or regular data stream or a specific request intended to initiate a one–time response from the recipient.

archive status  (Existing)  Applicable ITS Standards

Notification that data provided to an archive contains erroneous, missing, or suspicious data or verification that the data provided appears valid. If an error has been detected, the offending data and the nature of the potential problem are identified.

current infrastructure restrictions  (Existing)  Applicable ITS Standards

Restrictions levied on transportation asset usage based on infrastructure design, surveys, tests, or analyses. This includes standard facility design height, width, and weight restrictions, special restrictions such as spring weight restrictions, and temporary facility restrictions that are imposed during maintenance and construction.

emergency traveler information  (Existing)  

Public notification of an emergency such as a natural or man–made disaster, civil emergency, or child abduction. This flow also includes evacuation information including evacuation instructions, evacuation zones, recommended evacuation times, tailored evacuation routes and destinations, traffic and road conditions along the evacuation routes, traveler services and shelter information, and reentry times and instructions.

fare and price information  (Existing)  Applicable ITS Standards

Current transit, parking, and toll fee schedule information.

incident information for public  (Existing)  

Report of current desensitized incident information prepared for public dissemination.

logged vehicle routes  (Existing)  Applicable ITS Standards

Anticipated route information for guided vehicles, special vehicles (e.g., oversize vehicles) or groups of vehicles (e.g., governor's motorcade) that may require changes in traffic control strategy.

maint and constr work plans  (Existing)  Applicable ITS Standards

Future construction and maintenance work schedules and activities including anticipated closures with anticipated impact to the roadway, alternate routes, anticipated delays, closure times, and durations.

parking information  (Existing)  

General parking information and status, including current parking availability.

road network conditions  (Existing)  

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.

road network environmental situation data  (Existing)  Applicable ITS Standards

Aggregated environmental situation data collected from vehicles and other sources for the road network. Aggregated information would include measured air temperature, exterior light status, wiper status, sun sensor status, rain sensor status, traction control status, ALB status, and other collected vehicle system status and sensor information for the region.

road network traffic situation data  (Existing)  Applicable ITS Standards

Aggregated route usage, travel times, and other aggregated data collected from probe vehicles that can be used to estimate current traffic conditions.

road weather information  (Existing)  Applicable ITS Standards

Road conditions and weather information that are made available by road maintenance operations to other transportation system operators.

roadway maintenance status  (Existing)  Applicable ITS Standards

Summary of maintenance fleet operations affecting the road network. This includes the status of winter maintenance (snow plow schedule and current status).

traffic control information  (Existing)  Applicable ITS Standards

Represents the flow of traffic control and status information from a TMC to a third party TIC. This is reporting only, not actual control.

traffic images  (Existing)  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-related regulations  (Existing)  Applicable ITS Standards

Traffic rules, regulations, ordinances and statutes that have official status and must be understood by all motor vehicle operators and intelligent vehicles that operate at higher automation levels. The flow includes the regulations and the associated locations, effective date and time periods, and applicable vehicle classes. This flow supports bulk transfer of regulations, rules, statutes, and related attributes between backoffice systems.

transit service information  (Existing)  

Transit service information including routes, schedules, and fare information as well as dynamic transit schedule adherence and transit vehicle location information.

transportation operational strategies  (Existing)  Applicable ITS Standards

Operational strategies for each operating agency in a transportation corridor, downtown area, or other travel–impacted area, providing an integrated operations strategy for the freeways, tollways, arterials, transit services, parking facilities, and other transportation–related facilities in the area. These strategies can include dynamic adjustments to transit fares and tolls, parking fees and restrictions, dynamic lane restriction changes, and other active demand management strategies.

traveler archive data  (Existing)  Applicable ITS Standards

Data associated with traveler information services including service requests, facility usage, rideshare, routing, and traveler payment transaction data. Content may include a catalog of available information, the actual information to be archived, and associated meta data that describes the archived information.

work zone information  (Existing)  Applicable ITS Standards

Summary of maintenance and construction work zone activities affecting the road network including the nature of the maintenance or construction activity, location, impact to the roadway, expected time(s) and duration of impact, anticipated delays, alternate routes, and suggested speed limits. This information may be augmented with images that provide a visual indication of current work zone status and traffic impacts.
