Interface: Vehicles - City of Houston Parking Area Equipment
Information Flow Definitions
loading zone parking information (Future)
Information provided for a loading zone and associated holding areas. It includes parking reservation(s), confirmation (or non–confirmation) information, alternative options, and detailed information on the holding parking areas, and the loading zone, including guidance within and between the holding and loading zone areas.
loading zone use request (Future)
Request, booking, and confirmation that supports reservation for use of a loading or unloading area.
parking availability (Future)
Information on available parking. This flow identifies available spaces with associated information about parking restrictions and location for each available space. Specifically includes information on parking for commercial vehicles, coaches/buses, and cars – and likely also motorcycles, electric vehicle plugins, etc.
vehicle location and motion for surveillance (Future)
Data describing the vehicle's location in three dimensions, heading, speed, acceleration, braking status, and size. This flow represents monitoring of basic safety data ('vehicle location and motion') broadcast by passing connected vehicles for use in vehicle detection and traffic monitoring applications.
vehicle payment information (Future)
Information provided for payment of tolls, parking, and other transportation fees including identification that can be used to identify the payment account or source and related vehicle and service information that are used to determine the type and price of service requested. This flow supports one–time payments that may not be associated with a service account. See also 'actuate secure payment'. The information exchange normally supports an account debit to pay fees, but an account credit may be initiated where pricing strategies include incentives.
vehicle signage data (Future)
In–vehicle signing data that augments regulatory, warning, and informational road signs and signals. The information provided would include static sign information (e.g., stop, curve warning, guide signs, service signs, and directional signs) and dynamic information (e.g., local traffic and road conditions, restrictions, vehicle requirements, work zones, detours, closures, advisories, and warnings).
