Physical Object: Traffic Management Center

TMC Environmental Monitoring

Overview

'TMC Environmental Monitoring' assimilates current and forecast road conditions and surface weather information using a combination of weather service provider information, information collected by other centers such as the Maintenance and Construction Management Center, data collected from environmental sensors deployed on and about the roadway, and information collected from connected vehicles. The collected environmental information is monitored and presented to the operator. This information can be used to issue general traveler advisories and support location specific warnings to drivers.

This functional object is included in the "Traffic Management Center" physical object.

This functional object is included in the following service packages:
