Most modern implementations have the signal go all possible movements green
for the signals facing the direction the emergency vehicle is coming from,
in an attempt to clear any jam and at least get a single lane open for the
EMVEH to pass.  This is especially true of intersections where one or more
directions has a median.  In Tulsa, this is a good way to gauge how the
smart signal rollout is coming, since the smart signal parts of the grid
will also change the next downstream light in all directions green facing
the intersection of the emergency vehicle's approach, in an effort to get
as much traffic potentially in it's path away as much as possible.  The
older ones will go all-red, or, for some reason I can't possibly fathom,
turn the side street green instead...

Busses definitely do seem to get priority at the signals on the smartgrid
parts of town, though I don't see emitters on the buses.  I figured the
signals were also tapped into Tulsa Transit's bus tracker and were
anticipating their approach based on speed and location as the system's
tracking it via GPS and radio.

The most common system is the 3M opticom, where coded infrared light is
transmitted from
the bus or emergency vehicle, to a sensor mounted on the traffic light.
 The traffic control computer (located in
a box nearby) then adjusts the light as needed.  Typically it calls for 4
way red when an emergency vehicle approaches,
and delay or advanced green for high priority vehicles like a bus.

Hi,

Indeed, but we'd better don't do that.
The need here is to actually know the device is remotely operated but not
where : sometimes you don't even know this information.

Furthermore, for security reasons, it's not a good idea to give such
details.

That's obviously not so true for things like traffic lights.


Thus, a dedicated tag, much more simpler than a big relation is better.

Sich devices could be mapped using a relation to link them to their

Actually I'm not sure we can talk about remote control in this situation.
Because buses won't directly turn traffic lights green. A third part
(computer, industrial processing unit...) will know the bus is coming and
adapt lights following a few rules.

I will agree to remotly_controllable=wires,radio,...yes,no refering to
operator=*

and

proximity_control=buses,emergency,LAPD... which won't be the same as
operator.

there are also objects that can be influenced remotely, like busses that can 
put certain traffic_lights to green

I'd suggest something more specific like remote-controlled=yes/no/*

not sure for the second case, maybe remotely_controllable? values could be 
radio,wire,... or maybe proximity-controll=yes would be better in case of the 
bus or also for traffic junctions where policemen can set the lights?

[Tagging] Remote controlled devices

2013-10-27 Thread François Lacombe
Hi,

Some infrastructures may be remote controlled by their operator.
Examples : valves, trafic signals, variable messages panels...

Remote controlled means that no local human action is required to make
devices works like they are supposed to work.


How could we show this in OSM ?
remote=yes ?


Thank you in advance.
