5.7.6: Provide Safeguard System Control

This page shows the collection of processes that make up the Provide Safeguard System Control facility within the Manage Emergency Services function. These processes monitor and control safeguard systems, equipment used to mitigate the impact of incidents on transportation infrastructure (e.g., blast shields, tunnel exhaust systems, etc.).

The key points about the facility are as follows:
- Deployment of safeguard system is controlled upon receipt of deployment request from other processes;
- Outputs data to the process that controls dynamic message signs (DMS) to inform travelers of safeguard system activation;
- Safeguard systems equipment monitored to detect and report any sensor faults;
- Forwards deployment information to another process for archival.

There are two processes defined as Process Specifications (PSpecs) in this collection:

1) Control Safeguard Systems (5.7.6.1)
2) Manage Safeguard Systems (5.7.6.2)
