The Work Zone Data Exchange (WZDx) Specification aims to make harmonized work zone data provided by infrastructure owners and operators (IOOs) available for third party use, making travel on public roads safer and more efficient through ubiquitous access to data on work zone activity.
This pull request address the mobile work zone issue #125.
During the 4.1 release, a mobile work zone related road event option was added but didn't resolve the original issue of being able to identify a mobile work zone independently. The proposed changes adds an optional work_zone_type property to the WorkZoneRoadEvent object. This property will have the ability to identify if the work zone is static, moving, or a planned moving operation. If other work zone types which impact the operation of the work zone are identified in the future they can be added to this property.
At this point, the co-chairs recommend that this be a required property during the next major release. For now it will be an optional property to avoid breaking backwards compatibility.
A summary of the new object and enumerations include:
The road event is actively moving on the roadway. As opposed to planned-moving-area, the road event goemetry changes at the operation moves.
planned-moving-area
The planned extent of a moving oepration. The active work area will be somewhere within this road event. As opposed to moving, the road event geometry typically does not actively change
