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.

Requirements

# Requirement
01The 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.
02The 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.
03The 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).
04The vehicle shall store a translation table for road sign and message templates used for in-vehicle display.
05The 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.
06The vehicle shall present to the driver a visual display of static sign information or dynamic roadway conditions information
07The vehicle shall be capable of providing to the driver an audible presentation of static sign information or dynamic roadway conditions information
08The 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.
09The vehicle shall receive low emission zone restriction information.
10The 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.
11The 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.
12The 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.
13The vehicle shall calculate whether or not the vehicle is at risk of crash by entering the size-restricted roadway.
14The vehicle shall calculate whether or not the vehicle is at risk of entering the weight-restricted roadway.
15The vehicle shall determine the host vehicle's weight.
16The vehicle shall determine the host vehicle's physical size characteristics (height, width).
17The vehicle shall determine the roadway's size characteristics (clearance height, width, geometry).
18The vehicle shall determine the location of the vehicle relative to the location of the size-restricted or weight restricted roadway.
19The vehicle shall receive notification that a vehicle has been detected traveling in the wrong direction.
20The vehicle shall receive notification that vehicle is traveling in the wrong direction.
21The vehicle shall receive the infrastructure size and weight restrictions warning messages.
22The vehicle shall receive formatted traffic information from a center and present it to the driver.
23The vehicle shall receive transit information from a center and present it to the driver.
24The vehicle shall receive event information from a center and present it to the driver.
25The vehicle shall receive evacuation information from a center and present it to the driver.
26The vehicle shall receive information about reduced road speed or lane closures from a center or from connected vehicle roadside equipment.
27The vehicle shall receive information about one-way convoy operations including any lane closures or lane reversals.
28The vehicle shall receive roadway safety information of infrastructure issues such as objects in or near travel lanes.
