Raw data error file

When the BHL data collector software cannot write data to the database, controller packets are written to this file. (This feature is undergoing evaluation in 2003.)

Field descriptions for raw data error file records

Field 1: Station identification number

8 1015606050000 1015606050000 2002-03-08 2705FB45B27AA9129F3A4AAA9D09D1332

This field is the station identification number (currently 1 through 9) from which the data packet was received.

Field 2: Time stamp

8 1015606050000 1015606050000 2002-03-08 2705FB45B27AA9129F3A4AAA9D09D1332

This field is epoch time in milliseconds. Generally expressed as elapsed time since midnight (beginning of the calendar day) GMT on January 1, 1970, this elapsed epoch time must be shifted to the US Pacific time zone for comparisons to local time at the highway.

Field 3: Time stamp (deprecated)

8 1015606050000 1015606050000 2002-03-08 2705FB45B27AA9129F3A4AAA9D09D1332

This field is currently identical to Field 1. This field originally represented the data time as recorded by a computer in the controller cabinet at the highway. Improvements in the BHL system have allowed the computers to be eliminated from the highway; this field has been deprecated.

Field 4: Date

8 1015606050000 1015606050000 2002-03-08 2705FB45B27AA9129F3A4AAA9D09D1332

This is the date in <year>-<month>-<day> format.

Field 5: Controller data

8 1015606050000 1015606050000 2002-03-08 2705FB45B27AA9129F3A4AAA9D09D1332

This field represents the raw data from the 170 controller. The encoding is described separately.
