9.4.1: Collect Environmental Data On-Board

This process shall be responsible for collecting environmental and road condition data obtained from environmental sensors which are on-board the maintenance vehicle or are located at the roadway but are monitored on-board a maintenance and construction vehicle. The process shall be capable of accepting sensor control data. The process shall be capable of providing control signals to environmental sensors located at the roadway. The process shall be capable of providing operational status (state of the sensor device, configuration, and fault data) of the sensors on the vehicle or for roadway sensors that are monitored from the maintenance vehicle. The process shall be capable of filtering or summarizing the environmental sensor data collected on-board and sending it to the Other Maintenance and Construction Vehicle terminator for display to the operator of another vehicle. When any of the data is provided in analog form, the process shall be responsible for converting it into digital form. The converted data shall be sent to other processes for distribution, further processing and analysis, and storage.
