Physical Object: Multi-Access Edge Computing

MEC Traffic Monitoring

Overview

'MEC Traffic Monitoring' monitors vehicle probe and safety message data (i.e., basic safety messages) that are sent over the cellular network (i.e., not broadcast over a short range wireless medium), and provides this information to traffic management systems to aid in the management of the transportation network.

This functional object is included in the "Multi-Access Edge Computing" physical object.

This functional object is included in the following service packages:

Requirements

# Requirement
05The field element shall communicate with on-board equipment on nearby vehicles to collect current vehicle position, speed, and heading and a record of previous events (e.g., starts and stops, link travel times) that can be used to determine current traffic conditions.

Standards

Currently, there are no standards associated with the functional object itself though the interfaces may have standards associated with them.
