This
market package includes traffic detectors, other surveillance equipment,
the supporting field equipment, and wireline communications to transmit
the collected data back to the Traffic Management Subsystem. The derived
data can be used locally such as when traffic detectors are connected
directly to a signal control system or remotely (e.g., when a CCTV system
sends data back to the Traffic Management Subsystem). The data generated
by this market package enables traffic managers to monitor traffic and
road conditions, identify and verify incidents, detect faults in indicator
operations, and collect census data for traffic strategy development and
long range planning. The collected data can also be analyzed and made
available to users and the Information Service Provider Subsystem.
