Description of Document: This NTCIP data dictionary defines the management information base for Signal Control and Prioritization (SCP) systems through parameters that represent the configuration, status, and control information. NTCIP 1211 defines the functional entities of a Priority Request Generator and a Priority Request Server, which respectively originates and performs triage on requests. After performing triage in terms of importance and priority, the requests are sent to the Coordinator entity in a Traffic Signal Controller.

SCOPE AND BACKGROUND -- NTCIP 1211 defines data elements for information management and operations of signal control and prioritization (SCP). NTCIP 1211 organizes functional requirements and user requirements, and includes scenarios and use cases. The NTCIP SCP WG invented the functional entities of a “Priority Request Generator” and a “Priority Request Server,” which respectively originates and performs triage on requests. After performing triage in terms of importance and priority, the requests are sent to the Coordinator entity in a Traffic Signal Controller.

NTCIP 1211 includes the management of multiple requests for priority or preferential treatment of different classes of vehicles, such as transit, emergency service, and commercial fleet vehicles. NTCIP 1211 defines a method of granting priority to one signal while maintaining coordination with adjacent intersections. NTCIP 1211 is intended to work in conjunction with the coordination object definitions and functions defined in NTCIP 1202, Object Definitions for Actuated Signal Controllers.

NTCIP 1211 is maintained by the NTCIP SCP WG. The SCP WG maintains liaison with: the TCIP II Dialogs project, and with the IEEE WG14 for HRI (IEEE P1570, "Standard for Interface Between the Rail Subsystem and the Highway Subsystem at a Highway Rail Intersection.")

VERSION v01 -- In November 2000, the NTCIP 1211 v01 draft was started. In July 2002, the Joint Committee accepted 1211v01.25 as a User Comment Draft, and Standards Bulletin B0079 sent 1211v01.26 out for User Comment. In February 2004, the Joint Committee accepted NTCIP 1211 v01.36 as a Recommended Standard, and Standards Bulletin B0096 sent 1211v01.37 for ballot and approval. In December 2005, NTCIP 1211 v01.37 was Jointly Approved.

In May 2008, NTCIP 1211 v01.38 was edited and published as a no-cost PDF download. In October 2008, the hardcopy version of NTCIP 1211 v01.38p (May 2008 edition) was available for order, printed with a softcover. To order the standard, point to the mouse-over menu "Deployment" >> Order Standards.

The NTCIP SCP CO and PRS MIB files are available. To request access, see the instructions at Library \\ MIBs.

VERSION v02 -- From FY06 funding, the ITS JPO supported the development of NTCIP 1211 v02 with systems engineering content and test procedures.

FORECAST:

The NTCIP 1211 v01 updated MIB and revisable PRL is expected to be available in 2009.

NTCIP 1211 v02 user comment draft is expected in 2010.
