Vehicle Traveler Information Reception

Overview

'Vehicle Traveler Information Reception' receives advisories, vehicle signage data, and other driver information of use to all types of vehicles and drivers and presents this information to the driver using in-vehicle equipment. Information presented may include fixed sign information, traffic control device status (e.g., signal phase and timing data), advisory and detour information, warnings of adverse road and weather conditions, travel times, and other driver information.

This functional object is included in the "Vehicle" physical object.

This functional object is included in the following service packages:

Requirements

# Requirement
01 The vehicle shall receive traveler information including traffic and road conditions, incident information, maintenance and construction information, event information, transit information, parking information, border crossing information, and weather information.
02 The vehicle shall receive advisory information, such as evacuation information, proximity to a maintenance and construction vehicle, wide-area alerts, work zone intrusion information, variable speed limits, tunnel entrance restrictions, border crossing advisories, and other special information.
03 The vehicle shall receive indicator and fixed sign information including static sign information (e.g., stop, curve warning, guide signs, service signs, and directional signs) and dynamic information (e.g., current signal and traffic meter states and local conditions warnings identified by local environmental sensors).
04 The vehicle shall store a translation table for road sign and message templates used for in-vehicle display.
05 The vehicle shall present the received information to the driver in audible or visual forms without impairing the driver's ability to control the vehicle in a safe manner.
06 The vehicle shall present to the driver a visual display of static sign information or dynamic roadway conditions information
07 The vehicle shall be capable of providing to the driver an audible presentation of static sign information or dynamic roadway conditions information
08 The vehicle shall receive information about the location, duration, and operating parameters for lanes that are reserved for the HOV or HOT. It includes the lane(s), the start and stop locations, start and end times, vehicle restrictions, and vehicle occupancy.
09 The vehicle shall receive low emission zone restriction information.
10 The vehicle shall receive customized real-time driving advice so that the vehicle or the driver can adjust their driving behavior to save fuel and reduce emissions.
11 The vehicle shall warn the driver of a vehicle whose weight exceeds the weight limit for a bridge or roadway sufficiently before entering the bridge or roadway so that the driver may take action to avoid going on the road segment for which the vehicle is overweight.
12 The vehicle shall warn the driver of a potential crash due to overheight/overwidth, sufficiently before the potential crash's occurrence that the driver may take action to avoid the crash.
13 The vehicle shall calculate whether or not the vehicle is at risk of crash by entering the size-restricted roadway.
14 The vehicle shall calculate whether or not the vehicle is at risk of entering the weight-restricted roadway.
15 The vehicle shall determine the host vehicle's weight.
15 The vehicle shall receive roadway safety information of infrastructure issues such as objects in or near travel lanes.
16 The vehicle shall receive information about one- way convoy operations including any lane closures or lane reversals.
16 The vehicle shall determine the host vehicle's physical size characteristics (height, width).
17 The vehicle shall determine the roadway's size characteristics (clearance height, width, geometry).
18 The vehicle shall determine the location of the vehicle relative to the location of the size-restricted or weight restricted roadway.
19 The vehicle shall receive notification that a vehicle has been detected traveling in the wrong direction.
20 The vehicle shall receive notification that vehicle is traveling in the wrong direction.
21 The vehicle shall receive the infrastructure size and weight restrictions warning messages.
22 The vehicle shall receive formatted traffic information from a center and present it to the driver.
23 The vehicle shall receive transit information from a center and present it to the driver.
24 The vehicle shall receive event information from a center and present it to the driver.
25 The vehicle shall receive evacuation information from a center and present it to the driver.
26 The vehicle shall receive information about reduced road speed or lane closures from a center or from connected vehicle roadside equipment.
