Physical Object: Multi-Access Edge Computing
MEC Intersection Safety
Overview
'MEC Intersection Safety' uses cellular communications to support connected vehicle applications that improve intersection safety. It communicates with nearby vehicles and ITS infrastructure to alert and warn drivers of potential stop sign, red light, and non-motorized user crossing conflicts or violations. There may be constraints related to performance related to communications with participants using network operators foreign to the MEC.
This functional object is included in the "Multi-Access Edge Computing" physical object.
This functional object is included in the following service packages:
- VS12: Vulnerable Road User Safety
- VS13: Intersection Safety Warning and Collision Avoidance
- VS16: Vehicle Cooperative Maneuvers
This functional object is mapped to the following Functional View PSpecs:
Requirements
| # | Requirement |
|---|---|
| 01 | The roadway equipment shall collect the current location (latitude, longitude, and elevation) from personal information devices. |
| 02 | The roadway equipment shall communicate with approaching vehicles to alert and warn drivers of potential stop sign, red light, and non-motorized user crossing conflicts or violations. |
| 03 | The roadway equipment shall collect vehicle path information sent by a vehicle. |
| 04 | The roadway equipment shall provide current crossing status including permission to cross, crossing time remaining. |
| 05 | The roadway equipment shall send to Connected Vehicles intersection signal timing information in order for the vehicle to determine if it will safely cross the intersection given its current speed and location. |
