Functional Objects
| Functional Object | Description | User Defined |
|---|
| Roadway Basic Surveillance | 'Roadway Basic Surveillance' monitors traffic conditions using fixed equipment such as loop detectors and CCTV cameras. | False |
|---|
| Roadway Incident Detection | 'Roadway Incident Detection' provides incident detection using traffic detectors and surveillance equipment. It monitors for unusual traffic conditions that may indicate an incident or processes surveillance images, watching for potential incidents. It provides potential incident information as well as traffic flow and images to the center for processing and presentation to traffic operations personnel. | False |
|---|
| Roadway Standard Rail Crossing | 'Roadway Standard Rail Crossing' manages highway traffic at highway–rail intersections (HRIs) where operational requirements do not dictate advanced features (e.g., where rail operational speeds are less than 80 miles per hour). Either passive (e.g., the crossbuck sign) or active warning systems (e.g., flashing lights and gates) are supported depending on the specific requirements for each intersection. These traditional HRI warning systems may also be augmented with other standard traffic management devices. The warning systems are activated on notification of an approaching train by interfaced wayside equipment. The equipment at the HRI may also be interconnected with adjacent signalized intersections so that local control can be adapted to highway–rail intersection activities. Health monitoring of the HRI equipment and interfaces is performed; detected abnormalities are reported through interfaces to the wayside interface equipment and the Traffic Management Center. | False |
|---|
| Roadway Traffic Information Dissemination | 'Roadway Traffic Information Dissemination' includes field elements that provide information to drivers, including dynamic message signs and highway advisory radios. | False |
|---|
| Roadway Warning | 'Roadway Warning' includes the field equipment used to warn drivers approaching hazards on a roadway. Warnings may be generated in response to roadway weather conditions, road surface conditions, traffic conditions including queues, obstacles or animals in the roadway, and any other transient events that can be sensed. The equipment monitors traffic and roadway conditions and may send data to a Traffic Management Center for processing or may process it to determine when a warning should be issued. When it is determined that a warning should be issued, the equipment is used to alert approaching drivers via dynamic warning signs, flashing lights, in–vehicle messages, etc. | False |
|---|
| Roadway Work Zone Safety | 'Roadway Work Zone Safety' includes field elements that detect vehicle intrusions in work zones and warns crew workers and drivers of imminent encroachment. Crew movements are also monitored so that the crew can be warned of movement beyond the designated safe zone. | False |
|---|
| Roadway Work Zone Traffic Control | 'Roadway Work Zone Traffic Control' controls traffic in areas of the roadway where maintenance and construction activities are underway, monitoring and controlling traffic using field equipment such as CCTV cameras, dynamic messages signs, and gates/barriers. Work zone speeds and delays are provided to the motorist prior to the work zones. | False |

Physical Standards
| Document Number | Title | Description |
|---|
| ITE ATC 5201 | Advanced Transportation Controller | This standard defines the functionality and performance requirements for a modern ITS controller known as an ATC. It is similar to the NEMA TS–2 standard in that it defines basic capabilities but leaves hardware choices up to the manufacturer. |
|---|
| ITE ATC 5202 | Model 2070 Controller Standard | This standard specifies the hardware for a modern, open–architecture controller for ITS applications that can run Linux and is capable of executing advanced signal controller logic, among other things. |
|---|
| ITE ATC 5301 | Intelligent Transportation System Standard Specification for Roadside Cabinets | This standard specifies the characteristics of a modern controller cabinet for the ITS industry. |
|---|
| ITE ATC 5401 | Application Programming Interface Standard for the Advanced Transportation Controller | This standard defines the application programmers' interface (API) that should be supported by an ATC, which is an open–architecture controller that can host multiple ITS applications. |
|---|
| NEMA TS 5 | Portable Traffic Signal Systems (PTSS) Standard | This standard specifies traffic signaling equipment used to enable and expedite the safe movement of vehicle traffic and the performance of work zone activities. |
|---|
| NEMA TS 8 | Cyber and Physical Security for Intelligent Transportation Systems | This specification describes how agencies and other transportation infrastructure owner/operators should implement cyber– and physical–security for ITS. |
|---|
| NEMA TS2 | Traffic Controller Assemblies with NTCIP Requirements | This specification covers traffic signaling equipment used to facilitate and expedite the safe movement of pedestrians and vehicular traffic. |
|---|
| NEMA TS4 | Hardware Standards for Dynamic Message Signs (DMS) With NTCIP Requirements | This standard provides hardware specifications for safe, dependable, functional, and easily maintained Dynamic Message Sign (DMS) equipment. |
