Interface: RTC FAST TMC - Passenger and Freight Rail Operating System
Architecture Flow Definitions
emergency plan coordination (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Information that supports coordination of emergency management plans, continuity of operations plans, emergency response and recovery plans, evacuation plans, and other emergency plans between agencies. This includes general plans that are coordinated prior to an incident and shorter duration tactical plans that are prepared during an incident.
evacuation information (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Evacuation instructions and information including evacuation zones, evacuation times, and reentry times.
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.
incident information for public (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Report of current desensitized incident information prepared for public dissemination.
incident response status (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Status of the current incident response including a summary of incident status and its impact on the transportation system, traffic management strategies implemented at the site (e.g., closures, diversions, traffic signal control overrides), and current and planned response activities.
maint and constr work plans (Planned) 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.
rail crossing advisories (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Notification of Highway–Rail Intersection equipment failure, intersection blockage, or other condition requiring attention, and maintenance activities at or near highway rail intersections.
railroad schedules (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Train schedules, maintenance schedules, and other information from the railroad that supports forecast of HRI closures.
road weather information (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Road conditions and weather information that are made available by road maintenance operations to other transportation system operators.
threat information (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Threats regarding transportation infrastructure, facilities, or systems detected by a variety of methods (sensors, surveillance, threat analysis of advisories from outside agencies, etc.
transportation system status (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Current status and condition of transportation infrastructure (e.g., tunnels, bridges, interchanges, TMC offices, maintenance facilities). In case of disaster or major incident, this flow provides an assessment of damage sustained by the surface transportation system including location and extent of the damage, estimate of remaining capacity and necessary restrictions, and time frame for repair and recovery.
work plan feedback (Planned) Applicable ITS Standards
Comments and suggested changes to proposed construction and maintenance work schedules and activities. This information influences work plan schedules so that they minimize impact to other system operations and the overall transportation system.
