Internal Office and Employee Services for Expressway Operations: HTTP Interfaces and External Systems

What the data for this category looks like

Core data for expressway operations originates from toll lane systems, road network monitoring platforms, road patrol terminals, and employee attendance and scheduling systems. Toll transaction data is generated in real time per lane. Patrol records are uploaded per individual task. Attendance data is synced daily. Road condition alert data is updated every 5 minutes.

Externally exposed data documents use structured JSON format, including fields such as site code, lane number, transaction time, vehicle type, toll amount, and more. Units include yuan, minutes, trips, kilometers, and other standard units. Some fields require association with road network topology data to complete validation.

What constraints these characteristics impose on HTTP interfaces and external systems

Real-time toll transaction requirements mandate that interface response times not exceed 2 seconds, otherwise lane throughput efficiency will be affected. Multi-source data synchronization requires configuring interface call intervals according to different update frequencies. Real-time toll data is called every 10 seconds. Non-real-time patrol and attendance data is synced once daily.

External interfaces associated with road network topology must carry site ID as a required parameter, otherwise data validation cannot be completed. When pulling patrol records in batches, the number of records per single request must be limited to avoid excessive interface load. Sensitive traffic data must carry authentication information via the Authorization parameter to prevent unauthorized access.

Configuration ItemRecommended SettingRationale
Interface timeout period600 secondsCovers the maximum time required for batch patrol record pulls
AuthorizationBearer static tokenComplies with the authentication specifications of expressway operation systems
Maximum records per single requestFirst 100 entriesAvoids excessive interface load, adapts to single-batch data volume
responseDataFilter core business fieldsReduces data transmission volume and lowers parsing overhead
variablesBind site code and time rangeAdapts to data pull requirements across multiple sites and cycles

Three common configuration mistakes

  • Phenomenon: After streaming output via the conversation API, link clicks only overwrite the current page and cannot jump to a new page. Cause: The jump trigger parameter in responseData is not configured correctly, causing the frontend to fail to recognize the new window instruction.
  • Phenomenon: Conversation log details do not match the actual answer content. Cause: Context variables bound via variables are not updated with conversation turns, causing the interface to repeatedly call old data.
  • Phenomenon: Streaming output return speed is fixed, and cannot be adjusted to once per 1 second or 2 seconds. Cause: The rate control switch is not enabled in the interface configuration, or custom interval parameters are not passed via variables.

How to confirm the configuration is correct

  • Call the test interface, check if the returned responseData field only includes preset core business fields, and verify that the field format matches the system documentation.
  • Trigger batch data pull, confirm that the interface response time does not exceed the preset timeout period, and that the number of returned records complies with the single-request limit.
  • Send a request with authentication, check that the return status code is 200, with no 401 unauthorized errors, confirming that the Authorization configuration takes effect.
  • Adjust the time range parameter in variables, confirm that the data range returned by the interface updates along with the parameter changes.
