IRIS

Intelligent Roadway Information System

Incident Feed Format

An incident feed is an external system that IRIS can poll to get real-time roadway incident information. When polled, the external system must respond with an ASCII text file, with one line per active incident.

Each line should contain 7 fields, separated by comma characters , and terminated with a single newline character \n (ASCII 0x0A). The fields are:

  1. incident ID
  2. type: CRASH, STALL, ROADWORK or HAZARD
  3. incident detail: may be blank, or one of the incident detail names
  4. latitude
  5. longitude
  6. camera ID: may be blank, or the ID of a camera to view the incident
  7. direction: NB, SB, EB or WB

Latitude and longitude define coördinates using the WGS 84 datum.
