Processing and Archiving

The availability of the vast amounts of data that VII will ultimately make available will support a wide variety of applications that will enable enhanced or new governmental or commercial services. The continuing development and testing of VII will include the development and testing of these applications. The VII California testbed will be available for this purpose.

The initial VII California architecture will include data processing and archiving
capabilities. These capabilities will enable the following operations with the VII
California probe vehicle fleet:

• Processing the location, direction, time and speed data received from the
  participating vehicles to calculate travel times between adjoining roadside unit locations, and other link travel times
  
• Archiving all the location, direction, time and speed data received from the
  participating vehicles such that it can be used for evaluation and research
  purposes. For the World Congress demo, data archiving will be implemented for only data directed to the 511/TravInfo® system

The 511/TravInfo® system will also be leveraged into the VII California probe vehicles; travel time and incident information of relevance to the locations(s) of the RSUs from the 511/TravInfo® system will be sent to the roadside units for transmission to the participating vehicles and drivers.

This is an MTC-led activity. The software that enables the functions defined for the initial World Congress VII California implementation will be developed and/or integrated by PB Farradyne, which will be responsible for their design, development or acquisition, testing and maintenance, and the documentation of same.
