Terms and abbreviations
In this page are described relevant terms and the list of abbreviations mostly used in this documentation.
| Term or abbreviation | Definition |
|---|---|
| Adapter | The software module of the SmartRoad suit that is designed to process and transform data, received from the detector for further transmission to the system |
| Administrator | A user with special sets of access rights |
| Superadmin | Administrator of Sorb Engineering LLC, who has has a special set of access to rights to projects on the system |
| ACYDD | Automated traffic control system |
| ARM | Automated workstation |
| DB (PostgreSQL) | A database designed to store information and is part of the Smartroad software suit. The database can be installed either on a mini-PC, in a separate traffic control point or in a shared server that allocates the project |
| Detector / DT | Transport detector |
| Mini-PC | Device on which the adapter is installed and analysis of data from detectors is carried out |
| Operator | A user who has been granted the operator role to work with recorded events |
| User | A user who has been granted the manager role to escalate an issue that was not closed within the specified time frame. |
| Rule | A set of parameters that determine the norms of characteristics of objects and/or traffic flows recorded by the detector |
| Picket | Distance marking point at highways in 100 m increments |
| PNR | Starting-up and adjustment works |
| PUIDD | Register point of traffic flow intensiveness |
| Real time mode | An information processing mode that ensures the interaction of the Information Processing System with processes external to it at a pace commensurate with the speed of these processes. |
| System PAK SmartRoad | Software and hardware complex for monitoring traffic flows. |
| Event | A deviation of the characteristics recorded by the detector of objects and/or traffic flows from the rules established on the system. An unforeseen or undesirable situation that may disrupt the normal movement of traffic or safety on the road |
| TS | Transport facility or vehicle |
| Trigger | A set of conditions for the occurrence of an eventwhen the parameters of the traffic flow change. When a trigger event occurs, the relay is actived |
| Relay | Device for closing and opening an electrical circuit |
| ETA | The period during which a particular vehicle reaches its destination |
| JSON | Text-based data exchange format based on JavaScript |
| PVR (Per vehicle record) | The basic statistical unit of recording an object of motion. Vehicle registration |
| RabbitMQ | Software message broker based on the AMQP standard. Sends processed data from the adapter to a queue |
| SQLite | Compact embedded DBMS, installed on a mini-PC |
| WebSocket | Bidirectional communication protocol between the client (browser) and the server, allowing the exchange messages in real time |
| Resource | The program code located on the SmartRoad package server at a specific URL for processing RESTfulAPI requests, which accepts the request parameters as input and returns the corresponding data processing result |
