Home Browse Search

CITY OF SANTA ANA 12 attributes of the system in real-time setting, including but not limited to, accurate bus arrival time prediction, communication latency and confirmation of two-way communication. The vendor shall detail the capabilities that would be tested for the pilot deployment and prepare a test plan for the pilot deployment. In addition, the Implementation Plan shall include procedure for final testing acceptance, which would include a requirement that the system is operational 99% of the time for 90-day period. Subtask 5.2: Transit System Integration It is expected that consultant will utilize Swiftly or OCTA’s existing CAD/AVL system for the purpose of obtaining transit vehicle location, tracking, and status information. It is also understood that various TSP systems may have different approaches for how this is accomplished. The consultant is ultimately responsible for end-to-end functionality of the complete TSP system, and all work and coordination required with City of Santa Ana devices necessary to fully develop and integrate the TSP system with OCTA’s CAD/AVL system will be the responsibility of the consultant. Subtask 5.3: Central CAD/AVL Integration If the proposed solution includes integration with OCTA’s existing CAD central management system, the consultant shall be responsible for upgrading the central CAD/AVL polling rate of all fleet vehicles to an optimal system frequency as approved by OCTA. It is expected that the consultant will need to coordinate with OCTA devices to determine what modification, if any, are needed to the existing system to support the new faster polling rate. If any modifications are identified to be required, it will be the consultants responsibility to perform the work to achieve the faster polling rate including furnishing, installing and configuring updated servers, expanding server storage capacity, updating operating systems, etc. The consultant shall integrate its TSP cloud application platform with OCTA’s central CAD/AVL system to obtain transit vehicle location and status information. This includes establishing a secured internet connection to the CAD/AVL central server and coordination with OCTA IT staff to establish such connection. Subtask 5.4: Traffic Signal Controller Integration The City of Santa Ana utilizes Econolite Centracs ATMS for traffic signal management and operations. All traffic signal controllers operating at the intersections are Econolite 2070’s with ASC/3 firmware or Econolite Cobalt with ASC/3 firmware. All traffic signals communicate back to the City’s TMC over an ethernet connection. All traffic signals communicate back to the City’s central office over a combination of fiber optic and twisted pair copper, with those on copper are in the process of being upgraded to fiber optic communications. It is expected that the consultant will utilize the City’s existing Ethernet-based traffic communications network for the purpose of sending and receiving priority request messages and priority request status messages, respectively, directly to the traffic signal controllers. The consultant is ultimately responsible for end-to-end functionality of the complete TSP system, and all work and coordination required with Econolite necessary to fully develop and integrate the TSP system with City’s traffic signals will be the responsibility of the consultant. All integration work with Econolite and the method of integration shall be identified by the consultant in the response to this RFP. The consultant shall integrate its TSP cloud application platform with City’s traffic signal controllers to send priority request messages and receive priority request status messages. This includes establishing a secured internet connection to each City’s TMC/central office and coordination with
