6.5.7: Provide Operator Interface for Traveler Information Parameters

This process shall provide the interface through which system operators can input and update the parameters used by the Provide Traveler Information Services function. This process shall maintain a store of traveler information parameters and provide the interface through which the operator can manipulate data in the store. The data in this store shall be used by other processes to control the dissemination of traveler information, including wide area information broadcast and interactive traveler data, traveler alerts, travel services information, and emergency traveler information. The process shall provide the operator with the ability to request parameter data output and/or update the data store with new parameter values. The process shall provide an interface through which the operator can review and request update of map data. The operator shall be able to use the process to request digitized map updates from suppliers. The process shall be able to request and receive the operational status of short range communications field equipment used to broadcast traveler information to vehicles. The process shall support inputs from the operator in manual or audio form, and shall provide its outputs in audible or visual forms. It shall enable the visual output to be in hardcopy, and/or display.
