Specialization AlertCMethod4Point
The specialization AlertCMethod4Point describes a single point on the road network defined by reference to a point in a predefined ALERT-C location table, with an offset distance and the corresponding traffic flow direction. The structure is as follows:
Elements
Note
For the completeness of the description, the elements alertCLocationCountryCode, alertCLocationTableNumber, and alertCLocationTableVersion are included. These stem from the fact that AlertCMethod4Point is derived from AlertCPoint.
Element | Type | Required | Domain | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
alertCLocationCountryCode | String | Yes | 8 (code for the Netherlands), D (code for NDW-VILD) | This element contains the EBU country code. |
alertCLocationTableNumber | String | Yes | N/A | This element contains the release and version numbers of the used VILD, separated by a dot. For example, the value "6.7". |
alertCLocationTableVersion | String | Yes | N/A | This element contains the subversion of the used VILD. For example, the value "A". |
alertCDirection | AlertCDirection | Yes | N/A | This element indicates the direction in which the traffic is moving. It consists of two required elements: alertCDirectionCoded and alertCAffectedDirection. |
alertCMethod4PrimaryPointLocation | AlertCMethod4PrimaryPointLocation | Yes | N/A | The reference to the location in the VILD with the offset. This element consists of two required elements: alertCLocation and specificLocation. |
Sub-element alertCDirection
Element | Type | Required | Domain | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
alertCDirectionCoded | _AlertCDirectionEnum | Yes | negative, positive, both | This element describes the direction in which the traffic is moving as shown in the VILD (via POS_OFF or NEG_OFF). |
alertCAffectedDirection | _LinearDirectionEnum | Yes | both, opposite, aligned, unknown | This element provides additional information for navigation purposes. |
Sub-element alertCMethod4PrimaryPointLocation
Element | Type | Required | Domain | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
alertCLocation | AlertCLocation | Yes | N/A | The reference to a location (number) from the VILD, the offset, and optionally the name of the location. |
offsetDistance | OffsetDistance | Yes | N/A | This element contains a subelement offsetDistance (MetresAsNonNegativeInteger) with the distance (in flow direction) between the alertCLocation.specificLocation and the location, expressed in meters. |
