1.5.5: Detect Pollution and Noise Levels

This process represents pollution sensor equipment that measures the levels of pollution at the roadside within the geographic area as well as levels of pollutants that are not due to any particular sources such as road traffic. The sensors shall also be able to measure noise levels. The process shall pass the data on to another process within the Manage Emissions facility for integration with wide area pollution data including vehicular emissions and comparison with thresholds for pollution incidents. The process shall accept inputs to control the pollution sensors and return operational status (state of the sensor device, configuration, and fault data) to the controlling process.

This process is associated with the ITS Roadway Equipment physical object.

This process is associated with the following functional objects:

• Roadway Emissions Monitoring

This process is associated with the following data flows:

• pollution_sensor_control
• pollution_sensor_data
• pollution_sensor_status
• noise_measurement_data
