Physical Object: Connected Vehicle Roadside Equipment

RSE Rail Crossing Warning

Overview

'RSE Rail Crossing Warning' is a connected vehicle application that improves safety at rail crossings. It communicates with wayside equipment that detects or communicates with approaching trains. It provides rail crossing warnings and train arrival information to approaching vehicles and monitors connected vehicles that may intrude on the crossing.

This functional object is included in the "Connected Vehicle Roadside Equipment" physical object.

This functional object is included in the following service packages:

This functional object is mapped to the following Functional View PSpecs:

Requirements

# Requirement
01 The field element shall identify a train approaching or already in a highway rail intersection and activate warning signs to approaching motorists.
02 The field element shall autonomously identify a train is approaching or already in the highway rail intersection and activate warning signs to approaching motorists.
03 The field element shall provide collected vehicle location information to the controlling center.
04 The field element shall provide train arrival information to approaching vehicles.
05 The field element shall monitor connected vehicles that may intrude on the crossing.
06 The field element shall provide collected pedestrians and other non motorist location information to the controlling center.
07 The field element shall collect the current status of the wayside equipment and notification of an arriving train.
08 The field element shall receive commands from the controlling center that activate warning signs to approaching vehicles, pedestrians and non motorist vehicles.
09 The field element shall warn drivers of crossing closures due to oncoming trains.
10 The field element shall acquire railroad crossing intersection geometry information.
11 The field element shall warn the driver of a potential crash at a railroad grade crossing.
12 The field element shall calculate whether the vehicle may approach the railroad intersection while a train is present in the intersection.
