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 |
| Server | A server that performs database maintenance and management and is responsible for data integrity and security, as well as providing I/O operations when the client accesses information |
| ACYDD | Automated traffic control system |
| ARM engineer | Automated engineer's workstation. This is a PC with with the SmartRoad suit installed |
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 |
Web interface (WebUI) | A web page or collection of web pages that provides a user interface for interacting with a service or device via the HTTP protocol and a web browser. The interaction environment between the user and the program or application running on a remote server |
| Mini-PC | Device on which the adapter is installed and analysis of data from detectors is carried out |
| PC | Personal computer |
| Detection area | Detector coverage area in which objects are registered |
| Raw goals | Raw data received from the detector |
| Detector sensitivity | The sensitivity value of the detector, which determines the dependence of the number of points for targets (raw goals), that are necessary for the detector to to identify an object in detection zone (for example, with a detector sensitivity of 0.8, the detector will detect an object by 80 points, at 1.2 by 100, at 1.7 by 180) |
| Configuration file | File used to quickly set a ready-made configuration for a detector or adapter |
| Object ID | Unique object identifier |
| Object | Traffic object identified by the detector |
| IP address | a unique address that identifies a device on internet or local network |
| TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) | Data transmission control protocol |
| Event Rule | Criteria for qualifying the parameters of individual objects or traffic flow as a specific event (traffic incident) |
| 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. |
Suit SmartRoad | Software and hardware complex for monitoring traffic flows. |
| Event | The fact of compliance with the event detection rule |
| TS | Transport facility or vehicle |
| Trigger | A set of conditions for the occurrence of an event when 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 |
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 server at a specific URL for processing RESTfulAPI requests, which accepts the request parameters as input and returns the corresponding data result |
| Sorb Engineering LLC | Complete company name |
| Interactive map | A map for interacting that operates in the mode of two-way dialog interaction between the user and the web interface of the System |
| Logs | Records of events and messages created by the System during its operation |
| Pop-up window | An emerging window that opens on the computer screen as a result of an operation. |
| Browser | A computer program designed to view information via the Internet. The main function of the browser is to display web pages, as well as it enables to interact with them |
